OC OC - Just finished painting my Alfira figure, what do you guys think?
I'm pretty happy with the result. This one is going to a friend of mine... any suggestions on how to improve?
PS. 3D model from h3LLcreator

Looks wet, maybe leave it on a low open window unsupervised for a couple hours… should help it dry

She's gorgeous! I feel like she could be more colourful. Maybe the colours need to be more vibrant? My Mr is into Malifaux, Warhammer etc and I've seen some mind blowing paintwork. Maybe you should look at the subs for tips? Some of the folk there are incredible painters.

Tbf, getting vibrant colours can be pretty hard on models

Totally. That's why I suggested watching some miniature painters, some folk are amazing at getting depth of colour, highlights, textures etc. Constructive criticism.

Ahh, if you meant to suggest tips for vibrant colours, for me I find youtubers tend to have more useful information, I thought you just meant look at them lol

🤣 Nah. I look at them making things look like they're actually glowing, metallic whatever and have NO idea how they do that. It's witchcraft 🤣 There are some great YouTube and guides though.

if you do want to purse vibrant colours, heresyforheretics is an amazing channel.

I think her eyes should be open and they look kind of odd closed. That's my constructive criticism. Otherwise this looks amazing and I have no notes.

Amazing! Now I want to print that myself...
My one nitpick: a dark wash would help bring out some textures. In particular the boots look a bit flat, and the hair looks amazing but I think it could be better.

I'm sorry but she kind of looks like Ethan Nestor/Crankgameplays cosplaying Alfira

Why don't more people dress like Alfira? :( She's so pretty. The pants + skirt/coat combo is so slept on

You know what would be really funny to do is make another figure of her but murderd give the non murdered one to somebody as a gift then the next time they invite you over secrectly switch them out.

The dark urge to break it... (it's very good u even included the rude squirrel that doesn't like her music 😭)

I don’t like how bright the squirrel is. I thought it was a charmander at first, it looks so cartoonishly bright. But that’s a nitpick
But her? Perfect. Looks awesome! Keep up the great work.

Awesome statue! She'd go well with a pool of blood.

Had the same reactions when I posted a picture of the bust version of this mini, you’ll get used to it, explaining it to you would require spoiling a particular choice in act I so I won’t do that
And nice work btw, I always love to see mini painting on this sub. Since I also painted it I might have some suggestions but feel free to DM if you’re interested 🙂 explaining what I mean is a bit too complicated for the comment format and I don’t wanna impose
