Alice in wonderland

[Sculpta the squig]

Hi everyone, this is the finished Alice in Wonderland commision I've been working on recently. Fantastic piece of kit to work with and paint. I really liked doing the colourfull bit's for a change and painting the centipede (which I had been dreading) was really fun. Photobucket has reduced the image size slightly, but I took some closeups too. I think that well painted eyes really add something to a piece, so I tried very hard to do that with the red puffy eyes of the centipde (with dillipidated pupils), Alices blue eyes, and the White rabbits "red" eyes. I am really pleased with how this came out and I tink it's one of my best pieced to date, I will be sad to part with it lol. The kit is from Andrea miniatures, and is in 54mm. I'd love to hear what you all think of it, good or bad. Especially what you think of the centipede's blue coat (especially what you think, Ritual, EricJ and Nathan:tongue1:)

Very nicely done. The Centipede"s eyes, the blue coat, & the hookah are favorite points for moi. I hurts to have to give your children away for mere money. Buck up old chap.

Very nicely done, an impressive piece of work. And I wholeheartedly agree with you on the eyes, for such small pieces it's amazing the difference the eyes make. I also spend too much time on the eyes on my figues, but it's been my experience in both miniatures and all general fields of art that the little details are what really make a piece come together and really pop. Thanks for sharing.

Nice, crisp and clean with the detail really making the piece.
Now if only I could paint that well...

Great piece, Sculpta! Wonderful job on the eyes. I still haven't gotten to the point where I can highlight the eyes. I am lucky to get the iris where I want it, let alone highlighting it.

Very nice Sculpta! I also like the eyes very much. I think the White Rabbit is my favorite.

Nice and "fresh" : it looks like a toy or a cartoon. Excellent.
