Thank you all for the feedback! Always nice to show off a bit.
The stitched: they were the first minis I finished in this set. Its hard to get the "burlap sack" look just so, and it might be the flash and the dulcoat that make them look wet. I used a bit of wood stain to get a natural color to them, and in person they just look like really dirty cloth.
Alice: Its the pictures. Her face being obstructed from three sides made it hard to paint at times, but at the same time, id be ok with her being the plain unassuming child from which these nightmares come from. But I'm probably still going to take a second look when i get home tonight. I like the dreamer model, but i messed up his face a bit during cleaning and just went with something else that ended up working well.
Thanks all!
