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?

Wow. I've been around exceptional mini painting since I was about 2, and I'm blown away. That's beautiful. The wrapping looks ancient, the shading is just beautiful, and there's a really serious feel of depth to her that is so often lacking in mini painting.
You didn't just paint bit by bit, and you didn't just paint with a broad stroke. You integrated and made everything beautiful without anything being too much. Really good work.

Thanks so much, hon. That means a lot.
