This was much more fun than looking up buildings

Quite! Looking up women is always more fun than looking up buildings!
Wait! Does that doesn't sound quite right. Think you can get arrested for that sort of behavior
Not recommended without full consent .

I would like to look up those catologue girls fishermans jumpers just to check if their curves are all present and correct o f course

Hey Chibi - where have you been? How is your nerco terrain coming along? Oh sorry Scarper's blog...

Does that mean I should have asked permission when I took the pictures of the ladies dorm, with a long distance lense at 11pm, last night?

Peter

Well so long as no one noticed and you don't announce it on the internet you should be fine Peter....
ooops

At least it is better than sneaking from behind with a macro up the skirt.
This is what the Judge told me before sentencing.

Thanks for asking will reply elsewhere save Scaper's thread from nonsense worst than this drivel!

I agree with everything said so far. Add some more hints to her gender. Apart from that I really dig your idea. It's so refreshing to see characters (note I don't say miniatures) that possess such fragility, that makes your work a class of it's own. Keep up the good work!

btw: So I understand you study medicine?

Viks thread then

sorry Vik

Oh dear....Scarper I'm sorry about what I started. I must remember throw away comments can often override the point.

Neil - Bizarrely your post under Chibi's wasn't there last night. Oh well indeed I believe you have a point. You could tell Amber its for a modelling project too...though I'm sure you'd end up in the shed again.

Chibi - I'll take that as an imminent update

Peter

Cool leg brace! he is fun.

Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls.
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world,
except for Lola. Lo lo lo Lola. Lo lo lo Lola.

Ok whoops! My fault for skim reading. Still I suppose bigger hips would help us identify....

Just read through the whole blog, and I gotta say this is some of the most characterful work I've seen on Dakka. Brilliant to see how much your skills have come along in such a short time- I'm really jealous!
Reviews on Ramshackle, Copplestone and so on are really appreciated too. Will be following this with interest.

Scratch looks cool and interesting so far. I'll avoid saying anything about her curves

And the orks send their regards too. They're down with exploding handguns being used in close combat

Wow, that is a lot of replies, thank you!

I've taken the curve comments to heart (what did I start with the 'fisherman jumper' thing?!) and attacked her with some of my shiny new files (it's really sad how excited I was when these turned up). What do you think? Obviously there's still some clean up to do, but I don't want to go overboard, and turn her into one of those 'babe with gun' kinda models. Do you think this is enough for a subtle hint at curves? I haven't put her back together yet, so I can still make changes



@Scrazza - Thanks a lot!

@PDH - Thanks so much for the kind words! Feel free to use the leg brace - I really doubt I'm the first person to do it anyway. Thanks for the references too - genuinely really helpful for getting across what you meant, and I'm impressed you have such encycolpedic knowledge of women's clothing websites - I won't ask how that came about And no worries about the tangent either, gave me a few more handy screenshots to store away in my 'blackmail: Dakka Members Part B' file

@Chibi - Hahaha, fantastic. Hopefully you can find some nice scrap for basing when you're picking up littering for your community service?

@neil - Just for reference purposes for your own sculpting, obviously!

@Baiyuan - Thank you, that's very kind! I always try to have a personality in mind before I put something together, and I've got quite an extensive bits box now Dakka just ends up making me feel bad about myself, anyway - there are so many people on here doing really amazing work.
And yeah, I'm studying medicine - sorry, I've been bitching about it a lot lately! just finished a final on 8 seperate specialties yesterday, so now I have a few (hopefully) lower-stress weeks to see friends, drink and carve up some plastic

@weetyskemian - Thank you! And no worries on the gender mix-up - trying to sort that out today!

@Da Boss - Wow, that's one hell of a compliment, thank you! Glad to have you with us, and I hope I can keep things interesting

@Monkeytroll - Hahaha, that's ok, I've got the message. Thank you though! I was quite tempted to give her another stub gun - hell, it worked out last time!



as always, thanks so much to everyone for your input so far - really helping me sort out the proportion issues! Hopefully more to come tonight or tomorrow

Scarp

Much better imo and please don't go overboard, no babe with gun.
Never mind about the references to your studies, it's natural that you "radiate" your future profession, no need to excuse.

no need to look up her jumper ,the curves are plainly obvious now.

That there is a female!

well spotted

Definitely better.

In my defence regarding women's clothes websites....I like to wear ladies clothes at the weekend. None of that underwear nonsense for me I love a nicely knitted cardigan or sweater.

As for

blackmail: Dakka Members Part B' file

I'm concerned you're only that far into the alphabet!

Peter

Cashmire ftw! That is not something not many would expect to see on a gaming forum

A friend of mine told me he used to work in ladies underwear.

It was a clothing catalogue company.

PDH wrote:In my defence regarding women's clothes websites....I like to wear ladies clothes at the weekend. None of that underwear nonsense for me I love a nicely knitted cardigan or sweater.

So that's what you say in your defence, strange strategy. About the underwear nonsense: What kind of man would wear women's underwear? Why would one do that, if it feels so much better to wear nothing but a lady's boots and whipped cream? Ok I'm just kidding, but I'm afraid Peter is not...

My dice always roll better if I am wearing camisole knickers.
But it could be just the way I walk.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I like to think of them as double sixes but in reality they are more like snake's eyes.

Chibi - Cashmire FTW is what I imagine Goliath gangers to scream as they attack an Esher enclave.

Baiyuan - Apparently the best defence is a good offence. I've actually got no idea where to go with that one....oh actually if is can work for Bond it works for me



Peter

Definitely more feminine now. I understand why you don't want to go the porn-star-with-a-gun approach, it wouldn't suit the tone of your miniatures at all.

whats wrong with armed porn stars?

Nothing if you like that sort of thing.
But there are more than enough examples already to full Hugh Hefner's seedy mansion.

It is really good to see a female character more sympathetically treated for a change, and actaully have some character.

Right, it's been a while - sorry about that! Exams, post-exam celebrations, hang-over recoveries and finally research project write-ups tend to take their toll /excuses

@Baiyuan - Thanks a lot! And that's a really nice way of saying I smell like antiseptic and vomit, so thanks for that too

@neil101 - Not that you won't use the excuse of course! Thank you

@samwell and prototype - Thanks! I'm glad it's showing through, anyway!

@PDH - Glad you like! And part A is another hard drive...
Also - where on earth did you find that photo?!

@Chibi - Thank you for the kind words!

@Da Boss - Thanks a lot! I can see the place for those kind of things, but I've never really been a fan of the look


As to the knickers / whipped cream / boots - whatever you guys do in your free time is completely up to you, though I may have to pick up a few hints if that's the secret to your modelling powers... What size bra do you think goes best when painting a wasteland camo scheme? And also, I am NEVER accepting a cream puff if I ever happen to end up around Baiyuan's way...

Remember my rejigged Murdock? I decided I need to put some time into painting again last night, and here's the results after another hour of two today. I've tried REALLY hard with highlights and shading on this guy (mainly under Baiyuan's kind advice!), so hopefully it shows through.





As always, comments and criticism are greatly appreciated, so please let me know what you think (or your favourite cocktail dress for wearing around the house at the weekends, as that seems to be the way this thread is swinging lately ). Glad to be back at the table!

Great work Scarper! It's a really lice paintjob you did for him.

That is a great paintjob. I'd say it's one of your best so far.

Everything is only getting better.

You can tell from his eyes he's sporting some lovely purple cutaway underwear under that coat, always a good choice

Looks good man, great job on the coat

wow Im not sure if I should say anything about what he is wearing.. the paint job is super! he should have a belt with huge shells for that cannon he is lugging tho. That thing could take out a tank!! Great job!
