White Speaker (Part 1 - WIP)

I'm a big fan of the Kingdom Death line. I love their visions of horror and am eagerly anticipating the release of their boardgame "Monster". They are also known for their pinup figures line(Good or bad - an argument for another blog) and was kindly gifted one of them by my very good friend Dave after he managed to pick a couple up at GenCon last Summer. That mini has sat on my shelf for almost a year.... I've been completely intimidated by the fragile tiny details and that their is SO MUCH bare skin to paint. I was (Still am truth be told) also intimidated by the thought of attempting to paint a beautiful female face on so small a scale. So yeah, lovely resin mini, not given any love.

Well, with the release of Kingdom Death's "Satan" minis, Dave took it upon himself to grab a set and declared I would paint them up for him (The cheeky get!)! Again, they are wonderful provocative sculpts with exquisite detail and I couldn't say no. Then I remembered why I hadn't painted up my OWN Kingdom Death mini and forced myself to just get stuck in and see what happens. This is where I'm at so far. The close up pictures really don't make her look as good as she does in real life. (And I know there are a few mold lines I'd forgotten to remove, but damn, the resin she's made from is so fragile!!! Two of her fingers and thumb on the outstretched had were already broken before I took her out from her packaging - clumsy gs replacements hastily stuck on.)

The sculpt comes with a choice of this head or one with a cloth over it's eyes. I figured as I wanted to practice this mini, the opportunity to work on her face would be the better option. She also sports a spear/staff, but it just wouldn't straighten in hot water so I left it out altogether. There's still a fur-cloak to add too.

Would love to hear some feedback chaps!

For whatever reason, this picture got a blue tint that I just couldn't get rid of when I downsized it!!??

This one has not been messed with in the editing program.
