Anwyn, Bard
When I first starting miniature painting and was trying to come up with an ID to join the forums, I finally settled on the name of the first character I ever purchased a miniature for - Wren the Bard. I didn't paint that miniature, a friend did, but it still seemed like an appropriate name. I've liked bards ever since then, so when this sculpt came out, it was a must-buy for me. I finished the paint job in late November 2006, but had been working on it on-and-off for a couple of months. The femininity of the sculpt gave me the perfect opportunity to try out a pink and brown scheme, something I've admired occasionally in TV and movie costuming. I also used this figure to continue practicing more focused colour schemes with just a few main colours. The flowers on the base are a dried flower variety called mini-gyp. These ones came dyed pink, but I used some washes and drybrushing on them to really bring out the colour and tie it in with the pinks used to paint the figure.
