Another good model. Not a fan of the actual model but the painting is clever, I like the colours and the small details like the liquer bottle on the base. I would have liked to see some reflection from the light onto the model though.

I like the base and think some form of OSL might have improved the whole scene. Overall though very nicely painted.

Nice color choice, smooth blends, good conversion. Great job on the feathers. I like the base too. Works well with the figure.

Very beautiful Sophie. I really like the addition of the feathers to the mask and the peacock feather pattern on her dress. The bottle is a nice touch and I'm glad the bigger picture is finally able to be seen. Great work!

As has been said it also reminded me very much of the colours of a peacock. Would that Bourbon Street had something as gaily coloured as that at the moment.

The skin seems unrealistic to me. The other elements like clothes or lighting effect are OK.

Very nicely painted with great attention to detail. I was a little taken aback by the wings, I guess the vestigial arms on them looked a bit too muscular for the rest of the model.

Nice job, with good attention to detail (the liqueur bottle, string of beads, added feathers, stonework on the base).
I think that the photography might be improved a little, though, seems a little washed-out on my monitor.

I can't quite understand how those clothes work, but they are painted very well  I would have removed the wings completely, but that's just me. Good job!

needs more shading on the wings not as dark or fatal looking as I would imagine

I love the feathers that you added to the mask, very fitting detail, and well sculpted and painted. And lovely touch to pick up the peacock motif so subtly on the bodice. The alcohol bottle and beads are great touches too, suitably in scale and very realistic looking. I think Sophie is very nicely painted, though I'm not sure I like the green and teal combo. The wings are nice and smooth, but maybe need a bit of patterning or a different colour on the bones or something to liven them up. Super job overall.

Love your color choices, and the peacock feather detailing. Not sure about the wings, maybe a little too light, maybe the way the camera captured the light.

Very nice mini, elegant and well executed... on my opinion a bit underrated! Nice!

I love this paintjob on this figure. My only negative is that I don't think she fits the "fatale" part of the competition.

Good job on a nice mini (even if itīs a bit overdone. Seen so many incarnations lately). Donīt think the colour for the wings hits the spot. Smooth blending.

Having recently been in Venice for the carnival, I really appreciate this miniature. The feather are a nice touch and I live the vibrant colors.

This is one of my favorite Sophies. Where did you get that small bottle of Jack sitting in the street?

This has always been one of my favorite Sophie figures, simply because of the various takes on her, and you've done a really good job with her.

This is a really nice job here with the atmosphere that has been set with the beads and the alcohol bottle. Not a fan of the wings I have to admit, but other than that, I think the colors and the feathers are very well done.

I like the detail on the base, the painted light in the glass and the spilled stuff in the gutter.
