From KatrinaS. Commissar Annaka Sage - Sarah's Balloon (40pts)

This week was slow going for me. I have been solo parenting and still have another week to go. I still found a little time for myself to paint and prep for upcoming projects.
 This was the first time painting a Victoria Miniatures model and I can see myself doing more in the future the detail is top notch. I picked her up while at LVO last weekend specifically for this challenge. I completed this single 28 mm Commissar Annaka Sage miniature up last night and based this morning. I will be using Annaka to ride Sarah's Balloon across the Island to O'Grady's Gultch.
 

I opened and finished a bottle of bubbles (in a plastic Skye cup) the first night of painting. Which may or may not of contributed to being so slow.

 That power stance is so great!

I again worked on non metallic metals, I don't think I am there yet but it is looking better, for some reason I am scared of too bright. I felt like I was struggling with her skin tone but now that she is all finished I like the pale complextion.

 The detail on this miniature is like I said earlier amazing! 


Points:
28mm: 5 pts.
Sarah's Balloon: 30 pts.
Bottle of Bubbles: 5 pts.
Total: 40 pts.



That's a very nice Commissar - I love the uniform colours and that's some nice highlighting on the sweeping folds of the coat.

  1. This is a lovely bit of work, Katrina, both in the choice and execution. Victoria Lamb is a terrific sculptor and you've certainly done the model justice!

  7. 🎈Welcome aboard the Balloon Service Katrina - clear sailing ahead, mild temperatures and I do think there may be some more bubbly 🥂🎈
    Lovely miniature I particularly like her Great Coat and that it looks like Commander Annaka has her own wind machine!

  8. Awesome indeed! I might take it as inspiration to paint Severina Raine if I ever get the chance.
    Enjoy the ride!
