1: I know the base is boring already; going to add a bleached bone drybrush and some grass soon

2: I know the figure's shiny, there's nothing I can do about it though unless someone knows a good sealer I can get at a Wal-mart! And I know the paint's thick, it's because the primer went on badly.

3: Please, no more discussion of the content unless you have something to say about the sculpt/painting I can try to imrpove! I've been on the internet since a very early age, i KNOW what kinds of horrible things are out there! XD

As opposed to grass, have you considered some kind of moss? You can probably achieve the same effect with static grass, but a nice dark green moss might make it more earthy.

I think I might just agree with CrazyThang. I think moss might just look a bit better then grass, like she's crouched on an outcropping, waiting for her prey to pass by.

Boobs.

Am I being positive or negative? You decide.

Neither. You are stating a fact but, if I were to have to pick, I'd say positive. Boobs, indeed.

I honestly love the model...reminds me of a dream I had once...awesome job

Surprised no one has said this. Easy way to cut down on the gloss, go back over it with a single coat of Dull Coat Lacquer spray paint. Testor's makes one that I've been using on most of my things. And yes, before you ask, lacquers work perfectly fine with acrylics and will definitely cut down on the glossyness of it.

Actually, I said it earlier! XD I said that I wanted to try and get some when I could, and I asked if anyone knew of anything I could get at Wal-mart.

the best way I found to reduce shine was to do a glaze of the last coat over the top. it will still look a little shiny but will have a more matt finnish ^^

For the record, I have issues with a lot of things that get posted on here. Including Tyranid porn-things. I posted and reported before the "NSFW" was added. There are some things people deserve a bit of warning about.

I genuinely thought it was against the forum rules as well.

Come on guys, the op asked for a cessation of drama. Stick to the model before mods descend once more from the heavens.

It's not against the forum rules, but TROLLING is, and that's what you're doing.

The discussion of who is or not trolling is pretty well off-topic here. Please let the issue drop.

I think someone needs to make a whole Beastmen army consisting of these guys

I remember someone mentioning adding tribal markings. Perhaps in a dark blue color.

That is an awesome idea. I'd do it so they were a bit transparent/inky, too.

I agree with fox-light on the tribal markings, I would also say maybe think about doing some kind of feather work like tassel's on the end of the handle on the sword and maybe a few in her hair. I think it would bring out that tribal aspect more.

Possibly watered down paint, or just layers of the blue ink wash

It think a nice, deep, dark, earthy color would work well. It would sort of tie in to the base and, seeing as the orange is a bit bright it would contrast well. That's just my opinion.

Now there's an idea. Do you know a source for feather bits, good sir?

Touche on the Bossier page. Too bad they're a pack of cheaters. (They came down for 'Ard Boyz twice. SERIOUS cheaters, I kid you not.)

You're free to have as many issues as you like, and I applaud you for trying to upholed forums rules, but figures with tasteful nudity such as my figure here and the Keeper of Secrets in the other thread (or otherwise, as in that Tyranid case) are allowed it seems, and just because you don't liek somethign doesn't mean it should be taken down. You have the right to your opinion, but there are times when it's best to just click the "back" button.

Also, for the "furry hate" crowd, I bet half of you haven't even tried talking to one, don't even understand what it's about. Hit me up on PM or IM sometime, inform yourself before making your opinions rather than spew what's told to you!

If you know anyone who plays Dark Angels, they probably have some feathers around (granted you would have to clip them off of guns and such).

also high elf archers have some good feathers

Must be a light gravity world. That may help explain the giant sword and her ability to use it too.

It's funny how much people seem to hate animals with boobies - wonder if they've ever seen a pregnant cat ^^

But aside from that; I don't really like the sculpt. It suffers from the same problem every other miniature female does - giant nipples! Yuck! ^^

The paintjob's quite nice. I'd love to see some "texture" on it, though...

I would say you would want to check out some of the warhammer fantasy lines Lizardmen or maybe wood elves would be a good direction for this. Looking quick at the sections I found this which you could cut up a bit to get some feathers quite a bit of them but they look rather big....

DPBellathrom's recommendation which I think is the wiser

Savage Orcs also, and spider riders might have some feather bits.

Get a down pillow or feather pillow, and pop it open. Tiny, tiny feathers, all over the place...

Or just buy the down stuffing wholesale.

I think spider riders have some on their heads which are about the right size. how big is the model anyway :?

Yeah I think, you have some good idea's as well nectar those are some pretty good feather's on the spider rider, I think Wurrzag has a pretty good head dress as well if you wanted to go that route and make her some kind of tribal princess or something Kepora. I guess the only thing I would worry about is the size ratio with the spider since it looks like the base is rather big the feather's might be the same compared to a 20mm / 25mm which ever Foxy Lady is.9
