Ar-Fienel—finished

So it’s been almost a year since I posted the first WIP of this figure, and I’m finally ready to post the finished mini.

Sorry it took so long. I also meant to post more WIP photos, but that didn’t exactly happen. I promise to do better with my next project.

Here are some up-close views of the dryad.

She placed 2nd in a hotly contested single figure category at Gen Con 2015.

You can also rate her on CoolMiniOrNot.

I wanted to share my current WIP, even though it doesn’t have any paint on it yet, because I’m very pleased at how it’s coming so far.

The base is finished at this point, so the only thing left to add is paint.

One of my favorite things about the base is how it has very different silhouettes from different angles.

For the base, I used:

Resin cube—from Secret Weapon.
Cork tile—I really like using this as a structural base, even in cases like this where it will all be covered.
Plastic card—textured for the stone blocks, and smooth for the outer edges.
Resin bits—stonework faces from Scibor Miniatures and some broken pottery from Baueda Wargames.
Brass-etch leaves.
Brass chain.
2-part epoxy putty.

I can’t wait to add paint, but I want to finish some other projects first (like the steampunk bust which is still in progress).
