Oz Painters

Thanks again for the help in the WIP thread guys, it was really...helpful! hehe Seriously though, it made a massive difference, and I'm very grateful. And as I said in the WIP, I really listen to and consider all your comments, and even if I can't always modify the current project, and I remember what you say for next time as a sort of 'checklist', and doing that over the last few years has helped me a lot. So a big thanks to all of you!

Anyway, here we go, these are the final pics. Now with special 'Keira Knightley' jaw as suggested by Jody, haha ...plus the 'fangs' (they are super small, trust me - I thought I wasn't going to be able to do it, when I first tried...it's hard to add on such a small amount of epoxy when the surface is already dry). Thanks again for the amazing ideas Jody, such a difference, wow.


Vanys, Dark Elf Blood Priestess - I think that's what I've settled on for the name. Hopefully it's suggestive enough of her 'concept heritage'

30mm, super sculpey firm plus pro-create/milliput.

She will be available very soon, along with Phoenicia, Blagrut the goblin shaman, and metal Dorothy.

you know what would go good with this mini? A bathtub. filled with blood.... with some gore effects on the claws.. I mean blades.

Looks much better now. I really think that its made a huge difference having the head tilted and face altered. Even the Knightley jaw line makes an improved look, altogether making a not to human look to her. nice.

Blood for the Blood Priestess!

Although, to be honest, from the rear shot, I can't tell if she's actually got anything on underneath that loincloth. Another sign that I need to get my eyes checked, and get a new pair of glasses.

Very nice, Automaton. Can't wait for these to go on sale!

Wow! That was quick! Beautiful mini, a real standard.

Beautiful work Seb. The crispness of the details and clean lines of your work is perfect as usual. I especially like that there are a variety of materials shown on the model which will make painting much more fun. And you've done some amazingly tiny details too. I love that butt by the way.

Agent venom's idea about the bathtub has me thinking she can be converted to be polishing her posterior off with a towel as every evil vixen must have a gloriously smooth and reflective buttocks

Very good - Sprues suggestions paid off big time (I still think she should have Paget Brewster hair though )!

One thing though - even if it´s too late. The angles of the 3 spikes of the crown are working "against" the backwards lean of the head. It makes her face look a bit "scrunched up" when viewed from the side (pic 2). It would have worked better if the spikes were angled more backwards to accentuate the leaning head I think.

Very very nice.

Where my clapping emoticon?

Yeah, why didn't I see that? A long towel instead of the weapon Long live the bath tub jokes



Interesting observation. I think I will try to just bend mine when I get it. It shouldn't be too hard to get a small backward angle by bending.

haha yeah awesome, someone HAS to do that bathtub/towel conversion at some stage!!!

Thanks for the comments guys, glad you like the end result. A generous portion of the thanks needs to be directed towards Jody, though, as you all know!

Slah - yeah I take your point about the head spikes - probably would've been better if they were angled back more, you're right. Bu I'm afraid I'm over it, now, hehe...to lazy for any more changes. Maybe they can be bent back a bit when I get a metal master, like weisern suggested

Kelvin - call me seb, mate! And actually she doesn't have anything on under her loincloth, much to the horror of symoneferk's 'better half', as discussed in the WIP thread haha

Stunning work Seb. That small change in the face has made a huge difference. Looks like I will have put an order soon.

So thanks to all the suggestions and Seb to for sticking with it
I really like the final result, should I ask if you have any greens to enter for the world expo?
