Victoria the Fairy Queen--WIP

[Jabberwocky]

I really have a color composition question on this one. Do you think the light blue on the pixie wings work, or should I change it? What about the pixie dresses and hair.

Hello...is this thing on? :)

I am nearly done with her--my daughter's birthday is tomorrow so I will be finished whether I want to be or not. The wings have a ways to go, but other than some touchups and picking out a few highlights, Victoria herself is done. I tried to do a sheer effect, but at this point it is quite subtle and I don't think I will have time to make it more prominent. Besides, I wouldn't want it too racy for a five year old, right? :thumb: Any last minute suggestions?

Not sure how I missed this the first time around - sorry about that.

I quite like this, the colors are very vibrant and although I never would have thought to use them together, they really work (which just goes to show what I know of colors).

Your daughter is going to love it I'm sure.

It's an awfully cute mini (which means something I wouldn't touch... :vb_devil: ) but I like what you have done with it. The face is really good and the colour combination works very effectively. The purple, in particular, is a bit blotchy and if you have time maybe you could smooth it out with a couple of purple washes or so. But, still, the vibrant hue and quite small wrinkles makes you almost forget about this... Good work, and I agree with Nathan that your daughter is most likely going to like this (if she's like little girls are mostly... ;) ).

BTW, I also must have missed this one... :imsorry:

Its got a nice 'mother nature' look to her....Tell us your daughters reaction!

your girl is going to love it.........I painted this mini and it took me the longest time to figure out the round things on the base was a "fairy ring" of mushrooms...I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box sometimes. lol

Thanks everyone for your replies--I really value it. Really. This forum is quite close knit and has some amazing painters. I don't have a paint club that I can go to, so the feedback I get here is greatly appreciated. I know it takes a bit of time to type out some suggestions, but your critiques I take to heart! Now back to work...only 7 hours until the party :)
