Every year I give my players a painted mini for Christmas and this is one of them this year. This is a WizKids D&D Framework minie. Unlike most other WizKids miniatures, this one came on a plastic sprues you had to cut the pieces off an assemble yourself and you have a few optional pieces you could have added. Instead of the backpack, I could have put on a fur cloak instead. Generally speaking, I don't care for the WizKids player character minis because they're no fun to paint. This framework model was fun to paint though. It's more expensive than the regular WizKids model, but if you want a decent looking PC it's worth it to pay a little extra in my opinion.
From a painting point of view, one of the things I've been trying to work on is blending. You can see a little blending in the feathered head dress she's wearing. I'm still working on skin, it's difficult, and I'm not super happy with the results here though I'm not super disappointed either. We can't wow ourselves all the time.
My player is queer (her words, I still don't like calling people that), bisexual to be specific, and I tried to incorporate some of those colors in this miniature.
