Well, it has been a VERY long time since I posted anything. I have been working insane hours trying to keep our little 3-man company alive and don't know how much longer that's going to be true. From the beginning of the year, there was about a 6 month patch where I didn't even know my paint room existed ... I finally decided it was time to put a little balance back in my life and have painted up a few things. They are probably a tad hurried, but it was really fun to get back to the hobby.

Here's a wonderful sculpt (~1/7 scale) by SAKURAKO IWANAGA which she called Melty Snow based on the poem Snow White and the Seven Deadly Sins. You can check out the sculptors other work here: http://shokuen.com/

I have taken this theme and created my own dark version of the Grimm's fairy tale Snow White and Rose Red. In my version, a dark (mourning) Snow White visits the grave site of her sister (Rose Red) who died as an infant ... she places roses on the gravestone of her fallen sister.

I picked up the tombstone from Design Toscano ... stripped it and repainted it. I sculpted both the tree in the background and the snowy base. And, of course, I hand-painted Snow White with acrylics. I thought the gold picture frame added to the "storybook comes to life" theme I was going for. If you would like to see more detailed pictures, please head to my web-site ... I could not decide between the "midnight" and daytime pictures. So, I've given a small taste of both.

I hope you enjoy the piece.
