Hmm... the sword should be new?

what i can read in the voting comments shows me the sword don`t comes out well, ok back to the blueprints what kind of NMM should I use the grey/blue one or the SENMM in normal use??

I think you would have better results with normal nmm, sky-earth doesn\'t really fit i guess. The mini is great, but might I make a suggestion, try something like this sword

It\'ll look somewhat evil then, if swords can look evil.

The sword thing has been covered, but also the skin and wings look flat. I know this is a big figure, but I\'ve worked with slightly bigger and managed to get depth to the skin. I don\'t know what\'s going on with the wings but it looks a bit messy, like you just drybrushed them.

Other than that, the definition between her and her clothes is good as well as the red leather. It\'s hard jumping into large scale figures because the space is greater, but that\'s a great job!

Chrispy the mess is with my camera ...

the skin don`t look flat on the figure when you see it in reality but my camera need too much light so that it is overbright I get another camera the days then I try it again. At the wings the only part I`ve drybrushed is the grey, the red part is blended. I like this rough style of the greypart, because the wings are wings of a bat (to see it in a biological point of view) and on those wings there are thousands of little hairs make looking it rough so it is natural to paint it so.
The wings itself are also scupted a bit wizened where the gray is so I think it should be so .But this little detail is a question of personal like or dislike.
I will repaint the sword in a grey NMM style. I think I can finish it tomorrow and then I repost the lady.
thanks for comments DELTADOG

Ah, well I don\'t think bat wings are furry, from what I\'ve seen of the Mexican Freetail bats that live around here. Their wings are just membranes. It may help to make the wings look see through and add the base color to some blue and red for veins, but that may be a little more involved. Question is if YOU like it or not, in that case what I say doesn\'t matter! :p

I didn\'t comment before... Man, that sword SURE is very well done! I like how the successive reflections make it look brand new and shiny.

But (there\'s always a but)... now her face looks funny?

The face is not the finest part of this sculpt

I know the problem with the face her left eye is to much closed so she looks like a bit tired or drunken

She is a succubus! That has to be a bit tiring if you think about it. I wouldn\'t be at all surprised if the average sucubus didn\'t need a bit of \'Dutch courage\' every now and again either!!:bouncy:

That sword looks hugely better, well done DELTADOG!!:flip:
