Right, if you recognize what character I'm talking about from the title, have a cookie If you didn't, explanations in a bit.



This is my Pathfinder's character, Cirno, a Sorceress with a Water Elemental Bloodline. In game mechanics this means all elemental spells' original element can be switched to cold. My biggest inspiration for her (color palette and personality) was Touhou's Cirno, an Ice Fairy dumb-as-a-door and always certain she's the strongest even though she gets her ass kicked quite often.







This was my first attempt at painting pallid skin. On a women to boot. The first result was atrocious, an heavy contrast bewteen "Rakarth Flesh" and "Pallid Wych Flesh". For a "Space Marine" or "macho" like miniature it would look good, but on a female model it just looked ugly. Thanks to several Pallid Wych Flesh glazes I have managed to get a result I was happy with.
I have also learnt I need a decent magnifying glass if I want to continue painting eyes, as my own got very tired from focusing for a long period of time as I constantly painted and tried to fix her eyes.

C&C are very welcome!

Original miniature: Brother Vinni's Sorceress

P.S: If you are curious why there's a 9 on her shoulder pad:

Nine-ball, Maru-Kyu, or ⑨ is Cirno’s nickname.[17] Cirno has been considered stupid, and sometimes called “baka” (バカ, idiot, moron, fool) instead of her name. On the Phantasmagoria of Flower View manual, Cirno is labeled “9. Moron” in the explanation of the game layout. Hence, ⑨, or simply the number 9, has been associated with “baka” and Cirno.

Very nice. The miniature looks like it was inspired by Morrigan from 'Dragon Age'. Where is the sculpt from?

Was thinking the same thing DC. Definitely Morrigan

Oops, my bad, I forgot to add that information!

Yes, both you and Ratius are right, it's Morrigan It's Brother Vinni's Sorceress

Updated the original post with that info.

Nice work! I think the lighting may be washing her skin out a bit but she looks good. I really like the blues, but everything looks good... the staff is neat too.

Thanks Grim Yeah, her skin is very, very pallid, some areas of the face were pallid wych flesh with a tiny bit of white to even highlight it more so maybe the flash is doing that.

Definitely a solid effort, and it looks like the eyes finally turned out for you too.
