Here's what I entered in Wyrd Miniatures' recent Femme Fatale II competition. A lovely Hasslefree mini sculpted by Kev White! One of my all time favourite sculpts actually. It was a pure joy to paint, and it's not just for the fact that she's nekkid (although it doesn't hurt either! ;D ). I painted it as if it was lit by a quite narrow overhead light source so that the contrast between shading and highlighting is quite dramatic. I like how that came out. I also experimented with lots of different coloured glazes to make the skin less uniform in colour, seeing as there's so much of it! Hope you like it! Here's a CMON link if you'd like to vote for it: www.coolminiornot.com/151812

Hard to believe how tiny the mini is and it's all through your application and attention to detail. excellent in every respect

Thanks, guys! Yeah, it's a tiny mini... but, I must confess, surprisingly easy to paint still. Despite the small size, there's plenty of quite large and well defined surfaces and not much detail. It's the face and hair that's the biggest challenge.

Fantastic work on this mini mate, she really looks alive! Personally I think it deserved 1st place, but hey, that's life! I can't really say much else without sounding like a pervert! Oh, and well done regarding the nudity warning, although I doubt anyone paid attention to it! ;D

Cheers, guys! @demi Yeah, it seems people were able to recognise this as mine despite it being something quite different than I usually paint. I'm always a bit surprised when that happens...

Oh, and well done regarding the nudity warning, although I doubt anyone paid attention to it! ;D I think the nudity warning just drawed attention instead ;D Btw Anders, what's that fern? Did you make it yourself or bought it someplace?

The warning was meant for those of you who browse the forums at work (but of course... the attention drawing effect is a welcome bonus ;D).
The fern is etched brass bought from Hasslefree. Excellent stuff!
