The Green Faith




I like this Reaper figure for it simplicity and clean lines while still conveying character. The colour scheme was inspired by a cosplay image on Pinterest. I think the limited palette lends itself to the figure. This was a good model to practice painting female faces too since the detail is crisp and the face isn't cluttered. I tried to get nice smooth transitions with less contrast to emphasize her feminine features.

Ranger Danger





I love this figure from Dark Sword. It's you classic ranger but I think the sculpt is exceptional. I definitely got an Aragorn/Strider vibe which is where I got the inspiration for the color scheme. Comparing Dark Sword to Reaper minis - the DS ones are definitely more delicate in both detail and casting than Reaper. I would say that Reaper is geared more towards gaming while DS is geared more at collecting/display. Which is to not say that Reaper's mini's aren't detailed - they are. They just seem to be designed to be more durable/handled.

Feiyasandre









Here is the Reaper Pathfinder mini of one of my favorite Wayne Renolds illustration, Feiya the Witch. The detail was a little daunting at first so I'd been putting this one off for a while now. Once I decided on a color scheme (I used the Red Lady Melisandre as the inspiration), I just tackled it one step at a time.

The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway...




I had been putting the Ice Queen by Reaper off because I was intimidated by all the fine and fiddly details but once I started it was ok. I just blocked off each colour/component as a task and just did each task in turn. The colour scheme was inspired by Elsa from Frozen.
