Madam Sybelle, the prettiest Belle

[Svenn]

I'm slow, but I finally finished another model... Madam Sybelle.

Painting black is really hard. I tried highlighting it with blue but it's hard to tell. The mesh came out okay, though it's hard to tell from the pics. I washed the mesh with Pale Flesh and then I drybrushed black over it. She's intentionally a bit messy as I'm going for a dirty "from the grave" look for all of my undead models.

Cool fig! Never though of going black with white lace and trim and white laces for the corsetry.

Yeah, I painted it up all black and thought it looked too plain, so I figured complimenting it with white trim might look good. I think it turned out well.

Kinda has a french maid feel to it. I almost expected her fan to have ostrich feathers on it...

Nicely shown...

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking after I painted it. I thought that was kinda cool.

Painting black pvc/leather (of which a lot of my model collection seems to have astounding amounts of :S) can be achieved by lightly drybrushing a few shades of grey then beasting it with either blank ink (for pvc) or devlan mud (for leather). For pvc sometimes I'll paint some water effects on after to make it nice and shiny

She looks good though, all the boys will be fighting over her in no time!

Thanks for the tip. I've tried drybrushing black with grey before and it comes off looking weird. I think mixing a tiny bit of blue (for a colder grey) look helps. I tried to jut do regular blue this time to try it out, but it didn't quite work.
