WIP Reaper Pirate Girl

[-=Lazuli=-]

Hi all,
First time painting a Reaper model. Trying to go for Sophie at this years ReaperCon.
I got this model second hand and painted it without refernces.
Here she is:

The model is still very WIP, one of my first few attempts at NMM. The gold is okay (not great), but I am going back to redo the silver NMM. Or I may just paint everything in Real Metallics. I still need to paint the black areas and the feathers.
Instead of pants, I painted undergarments and legs, would it be okay to leave it like this or should I go back in and paint pants? And what colors would be good for feathers on her hat?

EDIT:
The pictures didn't come out very well, her skin is brighter and the red is more vibrant... I'll add new ones later.
Thanks for any advice I can get ^_^

Cool! I think the red looks great. But her thighs REALLY need some shading and I am not sure if you are going to leave her panties/crotch white. The white certainley draws your eye to that area, not sure if that is what you are going for though.

Her eyes look pretty good. You are going to have to do some more on her face though. Different color washes will give it more life and I assume from the sculpt that she is supposed to be very alive. Finally the hat is tough. It is SO big. I think I would shade the heck out of it with muted colors maybe a complimentry color for the shadow? Metal bands are on the scabard are perfect NMM!

My gifrlfirend says you should give her some '"cute striped tights" instead of having her thighs bare. What about thigh highs?

Sorry for dark pictures, taken at night ^_^

Thanks Demihuman,

Redid the NNM silver, looks better imo, only my 4th attepmt at NMM silver. The eyes looked good but terrible from one angel so I redid them. The black is all done too. But there's still alot to fix.

The model acutally isn't very lively and alot of the facial details are shallow (probably because there's another paint job underneath, seconh hanfd din't bother stripping). What colors should I shade the face? The thighs need shading but I'm not sure where. The undergarement is white but it works well with the red dress and white laces, but it certainly draws the eyes down.

My girlfriend also says thigh thights, but she said it's fine like this, still debating.

Edit: Updated Pictures

Whoa! front veiw of teh sword looks good! I am not very good at the nmm but do you think you should do one more higher highlight on the sword? It looks pretty good right now.
