Completed Little Red Wonderland

[Meehan34]

Finishing this for the Tulsa show this weekend. She has been so much fun to paint. I merged two fairytales together into one as you can see by the title. I hope you like her as much as I do but if you don't, negative feedback is always welcomed and digested. The picture is totally massive so you can view it in magnification. Click on it and give it some time to load then you can look at it in full screen.

Very very good paintwork Mike.

Lovely job... great paint, beautiful figure.
Very subtle shading on the skintones... for that reason I shy away from female figures as I'm afraid they'll end up looking a little manish, Like a dragqueen.

You've done a great job on this one

I love her Mike. Personally I think it will be your best up to date. Red is great, fleshtone is very nice. Hair are very nicely done, color and shading just great. There are two things I would like to point to you. Her left iris seems to be a little too small and more highlighting under her brest, just on the top third of the belly would do a nice change.
Anyway I cannot wait to see it in flesh this weekend.

Vey Good - Esp the stockings - a tricky item to do convincingly.

Very good Mike, you've got the most from this figure. I like your choice of colors and how you´ve resolved the very difficult effect of the black stockings. Love the face, eyes and hair. Good work too on the ground. More pics please!

Thanks guys for having a look at her and I'm really glad you like her.

Piotr; you are right about the left eye. I need to make the iris bigger. That rib cage is a weird area. I kept it dark to tone down how much it stuck out. I originally had it highlighted like the rest but it was just too much. I really appreciate the critique and am really glad you will be making it to Tulsa. It will be good to hang out again.

The stockings are really tricky, it is a lot like doing NMM. There is no easy way unless you are Julio Cabos and you can do it in your sleep.

I'm sorry too Carl. It would have been great to see you in Tulsa.

I'm not sure when the kit will be out. It was pre-released at a show in Europe (I forget which one) but I was lucky enough to get one of those copies (maybe two). I think it will be released as soon as Jesus finishes the box art.

Thank you again guys for taking the time to look at her and leave a comment. I really appreciate it.
