She's a VIC entry, so I should have expected trouble... The pommel of her sword broke off during assembly so I replaced it with green stuff (nice sculpting, eh?). The primer (Krylon white) thinned out like a wash- see the lighter edges in the space below her breast. And her hair chipped twice while scanning her- I guess she was just born to strip...

She's painted with Citadel paints (with some Apple Barrel and Delta Ceramcoat where I needed more colors). She represents a big change in my techniques; her skin is entirely blended (or layered). I followed Jennifer's face-painting tutorial (as exactly as I could). It worked out pretty well.

I read somewhere that it's best to use an odd number of colors (I'm not sure if I should count black, white, silver, flesh, and brown...) and that those colors should be evenly spaced around the color wheel. I also wanted her auburn (Citadel Dark Flesh) hair to contrast with the cloak. So she's got a red loincloth with a yellow (Bestial Brown) tassle and a (dark) blue cloak- maybe it's the pelt of some exotic beast...
