Hi everyone! Whelp, i just finished this special miniature and she was really fun to paint!! On this miniature i tried to focus on learning a new approach to painting, which is to after laying down a fully opaque basecoat (which i have not done in a long time), to instead of obsessing over smoothness, to just essentially throw paint around and set your shadows and highlight areas, without so much care, and then later, glaze everything together. The idea i guess that A.) ultimately you have more control over everything and can see the steps ahead better and B.) that glazing fixes everything. It was a scary prospect to do so and i started with her top, which is the weaker part of the mini in my eye, and the legs i felt a bit more comfortable with the concept, and look a bit tighter. Id like to try this on a much larger miniature to really practice it, its a bit nerve wracking on such a small and rare fig! Other areas that i would've liked another shot at are the face and sword....i repainted the sword 3 times and i felt that anymore id start obscuring detail. Oh well...here's a final pic (recommended size, and full size embaed)




DANGER HUGE PIC CORRECT RES

Top stuff as always, Bebop, you've more than done justice to this fantastic model! Inspires me to strip and redo my own JoA at some point.

Nicely executed work. And on such a fine mini too.

Lovely work!
