I just wanted to say thank you for all of the nice coments on my quickly painted entry.
Many of you liked the staff. The woodgrain was actually the easiest thing on the mini. I just painted the staff light brown and drew lines on with a micron pen. I have taken a few shots at painting and carving woodgrain so I knew not to make it pinstripes.
Anyway, I have sent PMs to a couple of commentors whose comments touched me, but the rest were so numerous and many focused on the same things that I thought I would post here.
Quite a few of you commented on the color choice. It had a purpose.
Several others said the face needed more shading. However, I disagree.
But they didn't know what I was basing my paint job on.
Here is the image that was the inspiration for the paint job:

So, you see, I really wanted a face that was washed out and extremely pale.
Oni spotted the resemblence right away and that was great. Really I was just waiting to see if anyone noticed.
Oh, here's my entry so you don't have to go looking-
a slightly younger evil queen willing to show a little leg and before the nose job!
