Latest mini

[kellinator]

I've been painting this mini for a miniature exchange and she's taken freakin' forever. Of course, this is because I already had a mini finished (and nicer than this one, even!) but tried to spray it with Dullcote while I was not yet fully awake and hit it with a dusting of white primer instead. D'oh. Anyway, here she is. The picture's a little dark, so I assure you that she does actually have eyes. I outlined them in black for the kohl look. I'm particularly pleased with her wings.




So, am I improving?

Indeed -- you apparently outlined (and well!), as well as highlighting (drybrush highlights?), and it works well on this mini. Not to mention that you hit the details just right; for example, the highlights on the turquoise on the back of the ankh, and got the darker flesh -- lips and nipples -- just so. I can never do two-tone flesh well, so it always impresses me when someone does.

I give it a solid 7 on the CMON (http://www.coolminiornot.com) scale.

Well, I didn't actually darkline -- I've tried it, and can't get the hang of it. But thank you so much! Coming from you, that's high praise indeed.
