I love these voluptuous babes from Celtos! This one was, like the more magenta-hued one, painted for a Warlord warband. They're stand-ins for Irisi, which are some kind of demon-elf creature (as Reaper hasn't released any, I still don't know what they're supposed to look like anyway).

I painted her fairly quickly, but it's taken me forever to get pictures for her! I used a violet pallete from foundry (I adore it!), and the rest of the colors are Reaper Master Series. The bow on this one is pretty stupid looking - I did do highlighting/shading & some wood-grain, but it is totally lost in the picture. I hate the bows on these models - they look like noodles.

Now that I've got pictures, I think I could have made the lines under her breasts darker, but I think it looks fine in person. I also could have made the nipples stand out more, but maybe that's because of the angle of the pictures. They have the same blue-green tint of her hair.

Overall, I'm really pleased with how she turned out!
