This is a test shot of one of the Pirate Babes I'm painting. I need to do some work on the face I think. They eyes aren't quite right and she needs eyebrows.

Those pinks and greens are really hard for me to get right. I like your highlights on them.

The green is Reaper Pale Green and then I used Secret Weapon's Algae wash over it. I got the hang of if when I painted up Horug and Snif, the Stranglers from Enigma Miniatures as I used it for their skin.

Awesome, thanks for the tips

Reminds me of the cat-person captain from Treasure Planet for some reason. Nice work.

Nice shading on the clothes, so they look like she is wearing them, not like they are part of the figure.

Great shading on the knees and skin highlights.
But…
Not so sure on the choice of flesh tones.
I'd go something less 'golden'.
IMO.
Overall, great work.

Who made the mini?
beer

Pointy ears, is she an elf pirate?

@RicharDISNEY I'm not real sure about the skin tone myself. This is the first time I've ever worked with Vallejo Bronze Skin colour. I'm not sure I like the golden tones either-needs more of a brown tone. It's a Reaper Mini.

@Glengarry5-Yes, she is an elf.

I'm painting up two human Pirate Babes to go with her.

I would love to paint up an army of Amazons, but can never get the flesh tones right.
