Didn't think I would manage to pull this off. Tiny details, important face, and try to make it look elfish :P She's been lying around in my drawer for a couple of months.
In the end I think she turned out pretty good :)
Just the base left.

Wow she looks very nice, excellent colours and highlighting! Did you intend for her eyes to be closed? I think she'd look awesome with open eyes... That's just my opinion though! Great work :)

She looks absolutely great :yay:. What will you do with the eyes though? I have never seen one with closed eyes before.

Very cool! Only thing I'd tone down is the dark recesses down her nose, around her mouth and down the middle of the upper lip

Beautifully painted. You have a talent for mixing and using the right colours. Thats not a thing that everyone can do.

Very good job! Arwen is a beautiful miniature, and I think you painted it well. I really like the face in particular, but I think it would be better if you painted the eyes. I understand if you don't want to paint the eyes, they can be frustrating. Have fun with the base!

I really like this. I have been thinking about buying and painting this mini as well.

Fantastic job. I don't paint eyes either. My poor eyesight doesn't help with the finer detail.

No, I won't paint the eyes. Will not ruin one of my best work by painting something I'm not able too. Don't want two big white blobs with two black spots pointing in two seperate directions. The unpainted eyes aren't visible now anyway.

Together at last :P
