A thing a week 2025, week 41

Still working through the blown out shots here, obviously. Some day I'll learn how to use this dang thing. In other news, we've got four more figs on-goal and they're all metal which I continue to like.

First up we have DHL Classics: Fighting Women from Reaper and I am here for their big 90s hair. I am also here for their practical armor and pseudo-reasonable poses. The middle gal could use a hat, tho. I had intended to do a bunch of non metallic metal on these three but obviously didn't. As most of them are metals, I did spend additional time in the shading and highlighting which is really blown out in these shots. Similarly, their faces and hair got extra attention even though it's hard to tell here. They read well on the table, just not in close-ups.

This would be Inari Windsong also from Reaper and we'll be seeing her again since there's a non-metal clone in Bones 5. I spent quite a lot of time with this fig trying to get her arms to look weird. There's some weird sculpting on both of them and I was only able to do so much with the paint. In these close ups her abs are way more defined than they are in person and I put extra effort into smoothing out some of the blends on her cloak. For the non-color-theory-nerds out there, she's in a secondary triadic and I really couldn't find another place to put an orange accent. Her face could probably use a little more work around the eyes. One bad thing about metals is you often get weird artifacts around eyes that make fine detail work difficult. 

2025 finished mini counter: 151, 2025 goal figs remaining: 2
