Showcase: Infinity: Nomad... Reverend Healer

This is a really nice sculpt from Corvus Belli's "Operation Icestorm" set. I love the animie nun look, and the color scheme done by CB's painters. I pretty much thought I had this scheme down, but in the end it always seems to be a struggle to get it right and I almost screwed it up. Thank god I kept the paints thin so I was able to do touch ups without making it worse.

I am super impressed with how some artists are able to do smooth transitions around the face and do almost real looking eyes. I seriously am in awe because the face is so bloody small. I did my best so that will have to do for now. Doing it drove me crazy but I finally came up with something that satisfied me for time being. I wish I could get a tutor for a day to show me some secrets.

After coating it seemed to bring out some luster in the colors and that pleased me. So here she is and hope you enjoy it.




Cheers

    WOW! She looks pretty darn good. She's ready to be a pin-up. 😁 Well...A really cool action figure one. 😁

    Hahaha, I know what you mean. Anime type females always seem to have pin-up characteristics. Thanks for the kudos;)

    Very nice. The casting looks small. Very difficult to paint.
