Mahon - there is darker purple
Lonewolf - no you don't

really, my pics do not mirror the reality. I hope to visit my friend with good photu-fu, he'll be able to make some good pics for me.

MiSiU was kind enough to do some magic tricks with my pic, it now resembles the real mini much better. Colours are still not 'true' though.
Thanks MiSiU!

Painting continues, hence spamming continues as well

Recently I assumed following procedure - I have a main task, which I paint every time I sit at my desk (e.g. commission at the moment). I also have some sub-tasks. Minis I paint to improve myself or practice some specific part or issue, minis that don't have to be finished quickly. Those sub-tasks generally help me to not lose my motivation and concentration.
You'll see pics of my current main task soon, and now here's another of sub-tasks - Reaper lady ghost I started painting last year, October or November. You can find some earlier pics on previous pages of this thread. Yesterday I got too many blue paint out of bottle while painting a main task, so I took out the ghost, as I originally wanted her skin to be blue. I only wanted to do a blue wash, but then kept painting and very quickly almost finished the mini

I even somehow managed to get quite good colours on this pic
Help needed with eyes. I intended to leave them white, but after highlights on skin, it imo lost the 'scary' effect. So now I'm thinking of glowing eyes (Nameless and OSL?!). Red seems to be the most obvious choice, but will fit the colour scheme I used? Perhaps light blue would be better?

looks great, Phil, and to me it didn't lose the scary effect.
but you might wish to make her look a bit more unnatural - so a glowing effect would be good. and blue is the only color i can think of...
