Fairy (my 2nd self sculpt mini) --> painted

Post by Bren »

A few days ago I finished painting most of the mini's I had here at my home, and so I got a bit bored. Besides my Cynwall Nova, which annoys me every time I look at it (not because it is so ugly, but it's just an impossible enormous four-armed thing) and stripped Deneghra with broken arm (waiting for new one, WM parts service rules!!), there was nothing here but greenstuff. So, I decided to use it.

The first mini isn't really worth showing and I'd like to forget about that one. But about this little fairy I guess I'm confident enough to ask your opinion. And tips etc. are also welcome.
I have to admit that I stole the wings from one of those pixie-things from the GW Wood Elves, after trying to make them by myself twice I thought well let's clip the little plastic thing in half... and they fit her really nice.

I will paint her very soon, and I'll show her to you again after I'm finished.
Thanks!

Really nice sculpt. And for being your second it's just great. What I find weird is the face - it looks like... I don't know. Asian (long horizontal eyes).

now I'm scared!
I knew girls paint better and learn MUCH faster than guys, but I now I also know it works with sculpting too!
good work :)

I changed the pic to one with the painted version added. I didn't paint her in my best quality, because it was more a practice in sculpting than in painting for me.

Wow! The paintjob made it clear to me that the sculpt is even better than I thought!:)

The only thing which didn't impress me was the face, but with skills that you showed us on this mini you should master sculpting faces with ease..
