The Neapolitan Painting Challenge started!

My entry to the Neopolitan "Comp" ...Miss B.Hayve
Three painters, three sculpts, three idealized beauties in the form of a Redhead, a Blonde and a Brunette.
So, get over to Anne´s Blog and vote!!!!!


A blonde bombshell by Anne O´Leary
                                     A brunette Amazon by Marzio from Fog´s Soldiers Blog

With different Backgrounds, lighting and camera Settings.

The helmet. I added a Gold "glitter" effect to the "eyes" but it doesn´t Show up in pics!!!
At least the eyes are a bit easier to paint in 28mm.
Reaper Miniatures;60072: Chivane, Red Mantis Assassin
The Background (Top pics, kindly suggested by Anne) is from Corvus miniatures and can be found, along with four other colour schemes HERE

    Hi Paul - I voted for this babe, at least partly from natural bias (being a redhead) but also because I loved the figure :)

    I like all these different backgrounds Paul. I'm glad you had fun with her and I like the way she turned out. Now that we've got you painting one Fantasy figure, perhaps there will be more.....

    She is lovely, Paul! And your changeup of backgrounds shows how the mood of the figure can change with a different color background. Well done!

      Thanks Monty. The Problem with the different Backgrounds is that i couldn´t make my mind up which to use. The darker ones Show up the hair better but hide the armour etc. i like her anyway´s...definately made a Change from the 1/72nd bods.

    A beautiful figure; but, maybe too good of a swordswoman for me.

    I love the Redhead figurine, Paul. It is so difficult to paint the eyes in a 28mm figurine as you did

      The face took at least two hours..the bloody eyes alone took near an hour to get right..I had to remove the paint at one Point.
