Hi

Here's my latest addition to my Sisters army, please let me know what you think.

It reminds me of a few things,

- Dreadlocks - predator style from behind
- And angel wings make me think of an archangel.
- The white cloths make it look like he's in control of the wind.

I don't feel like all the colors blend in together. The red and the blue white does, although i don't like the color of the dreadlocks that much imho.

Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless and perfunctory gift nobody ever asked for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down because there's nothing left to drink. Sure once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or a English toffee, but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits of hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those all you've got left is a. An empty box, filled with useless brown paper wrappers.

Not liking the dreads at all if I am honest.

Thanks for the honest comments the reason for the dreads is because I'm not skilled enough to do long flowing hair which was my first idea, this is to hide the huge gap between the wings.

Looks good!
I personally like the dreadlocks. You don't see them often, and they look good.

If you're not yet adept at using green stuff, browse through the tutorial section. Or start sculpting with smaller amounts, leaving those to dry before adding more (i used to do as much as possible in 1 go but that doesn't help that much!!).

I think the dreadlocks look fantastic (far more so than flowing hair would have done), it kinda conveys a more warlike aspect of celestine than the usual sisters of battle - " We're perfectly made up and our hair stays in place despite the fact we're on a battlefield".

Why must I always choose beween certain death and probable death.

Its nice to see a few positives on the dreads, its about 50/50 so far

Everythings fine except the dreads. Practice making hair, it's not terribly hard, just make block, mold it somewhat and then use a tool to create a hair looking effect.

tbh, I don't like the dreads on the model, but I do think you did a nice job on them.

It's a great model but I agree the colours don't quite work for me. There are too many, having Blue, Red AND White as well as the Black Sword don't go.

Besides that your painting is very good and you have made an especially good job of the white on the wings.

Yeah, I think it is a good attempt, but overall I am not a fan.

The colors seem all over the place and don't really go together.
The dreads are really out of place and I'm not a big fan of the lower legs with flowing cloth thing going on.

TLDR: It is a nice model, but definitely not my cup of.

I think the biggest thing to fix the color issue would to either have a blue trailing cloth (instead of red) or red armor.

The dreads look pretty neat, they're not to my personal taste but they add a unique aspect. Keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone in regards to her colour scheme it will all make sense when the rest of the army is painted. They have black/blue armour and red robes. The white is only spot colour on character models so they stand out.
