I must admit, this was not my favorite mini ever to paint. It presented me with plenty of challenges: static pose, bizarre sword, silly druid-like sickle, alot of skin, and a dreadful expression. Since mythologically, she would usher the slain into the next world, I tried for a nether worldly approach in the skin tone. I used a light blue/grey undercoat, thin coats of pale flesh, a light wash of purple, and then a light translucent coat of pallid flesh. I also liked the hair, black undercoat, midnight blue base, enchanted/ice blue highlights (looks like the comic book coloring used to define black hair). I went more for gold/bronze metallic armor(?)/weapons. Now if I could only conquer that #@#$$!! expression....Comments please.
