Its been a while since I posted anything. Frankly I was hesitant to show my latest work since it doesn't fit any historical theme and this particular kit from Pegaso has its share of detractors when first introduced. However I did this as more of a personal challenge in tackling different gradients for large areas of flesh in acrylics. Anyway hope you like despite my notorious lack of photo skills.

More and later added some green stuff shrooms to the base.

Good stuff? Last time I looked, this was not a historical only forum! It even says it in the description. There's plenty of us that like fantasy/sci-fi subjects as well. Keep it up.

Beautiful painting, on a lovely figure. Don't be afraid to post, Fantasy, History or Sci-Fi, it's all the same here.
Best wishes, Gary.

I love this figure. It is a bit of a stereotypical female fantasy figure (i.e. less is more) but at least she's depicted with a weapon that she could realistically wield and not one that she'd barely be able to lift, let alone swing, as is the norm. I also like the way she is delicately plucking the arrow from the quiver. In my opinion it is one of the better female fantasy figures available and you're doing a cracking job with her. I'll be following closely

Thank you all for your kind comments! Just wish the contrasts showed up better in the pics.

I like it!
Fantasy figs are a challenge all their own and you've done a fine job. You've definitely hit your target... the large area of flesh tones (female at that) look fine, very nice subtle tones and transitions.

Nice work

Very nicely painted.

I like this a lot - great to use imagination and not have to adhere to uniforms sometimes. Have bought a couple of fantasy figures the last few years myself - latest was the ice queen on a polar bear, just saw it and liked it.

Keep on the good work.

Cheers

Appreciate all the generous responses! I also agree that fantasy themes allow more room for creativity; and I find it hard to produce work on historical subjects that's been already done by others with far more talent. I still enjoy building those however and do love a good sculpt. Kind of backwards but here's a WIP of the base using milliput, along with a shot under lower lighting to better show the tones. Cheers!
