This mini is a very limited release from Wyrd- similar to their event minis, they also only sold this one to minions who work at promoting Malifaux officially.

I was very happy to have secured one (especially since I don't work for Wyrd). So I decided that it was a good idea to paint her up for this year's Gencon competition.

She took first single miniature for Wyrd.

I've posted her up to Coolmini for anyone who cares to vote.

Anyway, here are the pictures

Nice! Well done and congrats on securing a rare mini and a win! That dusty red looks great and so do her skin tones.

Wow she looks stunning, I wish I could paint skin tones that well.

Would you mind sharing the paints used for the skin tones? I'm always eager to better my painting skills.

Reminds me of a BA version of Carmen San Diego.

Just great Amazing... Breathtaking

I'm trying to remember the actual paints on the skin. I probably started with some combination of Midlund and Idrian Flesh (from P3). I probably shaded down with Skorn Red, Battledress green and just a hint of Reaper Burgandy Wine. I went up with Ryn Flesh and did the final highlighting using Menoth White Highlight.

The principle here is that the flesh uses a lot of complimentary colors. The top highlights are an off white yellow color, while the darkest areas have some purple in them, plus I went down using red and green. This is accentuated a little farther because I mixed complimentary colors on the magenta (that's magenta that is shaded in green). The mixed compliments creates an area of less interest, so that I can draw some attention to the skin areas.

I also uniformly did my final highlights using Menoth White highlight to keep the whole mini looking like it is lit by the same lighting.

Thanks odinsgrandson I really appreciate the painting tips

Looks like its time to add some more P3 paints to my collection

The pic links seem broken to me.

Oh wait - working now - great work, very real looking

She looks great! Really, this is one of the best minis I think I've ever seen you do! Really loving the color composition, as well as the mini itself. Great find, and phenomenal paint job!

I've just put her up on cool mini, so I'm adding a link to the original post.

They're a good line, so I don't hesitate to recommend them.

Wow, you definitely have pro skills.
