This model represents a character for my husband in a forgotten realms game. She's an ex-harem girl for the sultan and he wanted her to have "coffeeish" skin. That was an experiment for me--vallejo's beige brown as a base, with cork brown worked in to highlight. Her dress was painted with Foundry's Tomb Blue color pallette and it turned out so-so. Her boots were some kind of yellowy color with brown and reddish glazes. :)

I like the way her face turned out on this model. I thought about putting some eye-shadow on her, but since Zahira is currently traveling extensively and under what she would probably consider extremely barbaric circumstances, I don't think she has alot of time to paint her face unless they're staying in a town and there's someone worth seducing (the poor thing is traveling with 3 other women...) :) There's something about the way that Steve sculpts lips, though, that I can never manage to make them look anything other than pouty/pursed. When he paints them, they look fine.. maybe he's cheating...
