In all honesty, I found 'horse lady' a difficult figure to paint!
When the package arrived, I was pretty excited... however, after putting her together, I wasn't initially impressed.
I raised the body of the horse to make it look more like it was galloping, and added pin support under one of the legs. I didn't like the position of her sword arm, and brought that forward.
It took me quite a while to even start the painting task. It then proceeded in dribs and drabs. Other things on my painting table seemed to get priority!
I still don't feel much affinity for the figure. I guess my painting shall remain just a hobby for me, because I see now, how difficult it must be to have to paint things you really don't feel like painting!
I wanted to try to contrast a dark horse colour against the pale flesh of a woman. I don't think I executed it amazingly, but I was pleased with her subtle make-up.
I hope you like it. I think it's a bit of an average paint job, hampered by my lack of excitement regarding the figure.
