Sheila Figs - Sea Mage and a Rat on a Treasure Chest

These are a couple of good figures I've done in the last year or so.

Sea Mage:
I'm a sucker for a chick figure and I love the pose on this one - good movement. I had a really clear vision for how I wanted her to look: I picture her on the edge of a cliff with a storm buffeting all around her as she makes a sacrifice to the ocean below.
The lantern was a separate piece - I glued it onto her base once it was painted. I wanted the feathers at her neck to look like cormorant feathers, since it's a sea bird.
Rat on Treasure Chest:
I Googled a picture of Remy from "Ratatouille" and painted this rat like him. This will get displayed with the pirate collection once he leaves the "new figure" display area. We leave our new figs out for people to look at and they get put away as new figures get painted. We have our collection grouped by themes: pirates, vampires, goblins, elves, dragons, skeletons, dwarves, etc. I did a sandy-looking base because L and I would eventually like to make a pirate diorama of them all on a beach with maybe a shipwreck, or being attached by sea creatures (we have a good collection of those too).
The skull on the base has a spider on its head. Shiver me timbers!

Recent Figure - Goth Fighter Mage

I keep forgetting to load up some of my more recent figures. This is the second-to-last figure that I completed. I'm quite proud of her - the pressure was on to do justice to such a cool fig.
Foolishly, I did all the shading on her skin first (I usually do skin last, so that I can touch up any paint spillover from blacklining or other colours), so I had to be totally careful when painting the rest to get it right. I like the shading on the cloak and the horn thing on her shoulder/arm armour.

A view of the back:
Hee hee, there's her bum. I've seen a photo of this fig painted by someone else where she has a spider web "tattoo" on her back - I found out later that it was a decal. Not painted! Outrageous.

Anyway, I really like this piece. It's quite the outfit she has on - it's almost like one of Edyta's from "Dancing With the Stars", haha.
