I've had horrible artist's block and lots of stress from work. <br />But I did get a request from a long time friend to paint his wedding cake topper. This seemed like the perfect task to get me back on track and fun to boot! <br />
<br />
My boyfriend Jason was kind enough to sculpt a new head for the cake topper to give it a real zombie feel, and made the glasses for the bride. <br />
<br />
Here is a picture of the topper on the wedding cake in front of a painting?/photo? of a mac & cheese casserole? or a bucket of popcorn? chicken nuggets? I'm not sure really, but anyways I stole the cake photo from Darren I hope he doesn't mind. <br />

Here is my newest! I bought him originally because I thought he looked like Stallone which he doesn't really but I'll keep pretending. <br />I tried something new on this guy for his wings I actually used gold leaf instead of paint. Now I can't say that it was worth it but it was a fun experiment. I still had to paint it because it was so flat and bright compared to the rest of the miniature. I will say that gold leaf is a pain in the butt because no matter how well you think you put the glue down for it , it will do what ever the hell it wants. I ended up with a couple of oooops moments but just rolled with them in the end. Anyways I hope you enjoy him!<br />

Well I happened to receive the miniature from the artist WAY before the release date. Now it looks like the game is finally happening and it will be 32mm instead of the 54mm which I painted up. <br />
Please take a few moments to check them out, as the miniatures look amazing and super fun. <br />

<span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3,"tn":"K"}"><span class="userContent"><span style="font-weight: normal;">WHOOOPS!
I could have been in the CMON Annual 2012 But I missed a private
message back in June asking for high res pics of my images. I just found it today only because I got a comment on one of my other entries and I figured I would log in to see what I missed. Looks like quite a bit. <br /> <br /> I wish they would have sent me an email instead of a message through their system. I wonder how many other people missed out. <br /> <br />
So here are the miniatures they wanted to feature. While you are
looking through your copy you can pretend these are in there. <br /><br />So I haven't updated in a while but I assure you that I am working on painting just not as often as I would like. I have an amazing piece on my work bench and I've been so busy I haven't had time to get to him. I will update soon, I promise. </span></span></span></h5>

My newest is finally finished : Steampunk Princess by La Fabrica Roja, (you can easily find them on facebook) and you can get one of these miniatures from CMON. <br /><br />I did use the air brush on her for the flats of her skin and shirt since the areas were so large I didn't want the paint to build up and have her look lumpy. Other than the flat color everything is painted with a brush. <br />
I plan on trying out the air brush more for painting since I've seen a few videos and tutorials on it and they make it look simple (*snort*). I have a ton of miniatures to practice on so we shall see how that goes.<br />I hope you enjoy my version of the Steampunk Princess as I really enjoyed painting her and can't wait to put her in my display cabinet.<br />

blue jeans, camo green shirt, fingerless gloves<span style="position: absolute;"></span><span style="position: absolute;"></span> when he can get away with it and a black mohawk with a blue tint. <br />
<br />
The zombie I went really easy on with the colors a base coat and a
couple washes of colors on him and I called it good. I added some extra
gore with green stuff and glue to help fill in some of the awkward
gaps. <br />
<br />
And for the life of me I could not get paint to stick on the bottom lip
of the base I painted that over quite a few times and any time I touched
it it came right off even with a sealer over it. So Eff it.<br />

So I finally picked up the <a href="http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/steampunk-princess-bust-1.html" target="_blank">Steampunk Princess Bust from CMON</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this sculpt it is amazing!! It is by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Lafabricaroja" target="_blank"><span itemprop="name">La Fábrica Roja .</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span itemprop="name">And I remember when I first saw it on facebook I knew I needed to paint it. I had to wait a while after it came out due to funds but now she is all mi</span><span itemprop="name">ne. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span itemprop="name">This post is a cry for Valiant casting to slow down and rethink the way they cast up their stuff. I guess I just think their style of casting is downright sloppy. I don't encounter any of these problems from any other company who casts in resin ie: SMOG, KD, AMMON, etc..<br />This is probably the least amount of problems I've had with one of Valiant's resin casts. It's a beautiful model and I'm going to pain the hell out of it. So just watch out for the little issues I've pointed out and you should be fine. </span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Actually this was pretty much all the air bubbles there were which is awesome. But the buckle and strap suffered on her pouch due to an air feed being right on top of it. So all that detail is gone. If it was just moved over a tiny bit it could have been avoided. And of course it suffered from a glob of glue detail which did most of the damage.<br />Also there was a huge feed in the curve of her shoulder which I had to carve out </td></tr>

Hi All! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've finally gotten my Bombshell babes kickstarter rewards. Here are some pics for anyone interested. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After seeing the process pics and the final product I decided that I'm just not into them. I love the concept but not the sculpts. I will be selling them off but I'm giving my forum buddies on WAMP the first go at them. After that the rest will be on ebay. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*EDIT if you are interested I'm seeling the girls for $7 each and the sidekicks/weapons/bases $6 for each group. plus shipping . please email me at sistersofbattle @ gmail and i'm more than happy to give you a shipping quote based off your address and what you would like. A few have sold already. </div>

<br />
Jason designed her, put her together, and bought all the pieces for me (he did all the hard work).<br />
<br />
I had started her and put her on the back of the desk because I found myself frustrated with trying to paint an un-paintable object. But with all the research I've been doing these past few months I was finally able to pick her up and finish her for the most part. Originally I was trying to paint her like a standard miniature and found myself overwhelmed but this time I used pastels a little paint and lots of sealer. She is simple for a mini but complex for an action figure. <br />
I actually broke out the air brush for pretty much the first time and painted the black on her legs with it. I had to get some air brush cleaner and new paints first but once the air brush was cleaned out she was a breeze to paint. <br />
But enough with the reading here are the pictures! I hope you enjoy. <br />

I originally customized one and got a ton of requests for commissions. But with running my own business I don't have any time for that. So I managed to grab another Joe from the store the other day. I did a lighter face up and some body shading to give him a bit more depth. Nothing too fancy. <br />
I put him up on eBay and as of now he still has 6 days. <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/140929087819?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649" target="_blank">Here is the link</a> if you want to check him out.<br />

Now onto the fun stuff<br />
First Remove the existing paint if you can, I've been using acetone but it can melt soft plastic very quickly. <br />
Then add a coat of Mr Super Clear Flat to your dry clean head. This will give something for the pastel pigments to stick to. <br />
Then using a <a href="http://www.loew-cornell.com/filebin/images/products/full/LCp_full_7850.jpg" target="_blank">Deerfoot brush</a> (I used a $3 Deerfoot 1/8 artist loft brush from Michaels craft for almost all of this) <br />
Pastels I use are a $15 set of <a href="http://www.michaels.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-Michaels-Site/default/mProduct-Show?pid=fa1813&start=8&cgid=products-artsupplies-brands-artistsloft-drawing" target="_blank">Artist Loft Portrait pastels</a> form Michaels as well. <br />
since my camera washed out all the work I did here is what it looks like with photoshop magic.<br />
Start with the lightest color a bit darker than the skin tone and start shading where the natural shadows would fall. If you aren't sure hold your figure under your desk lamp and take note at where the shadows are.<br />
Then with either the same color or darker color add more pigment to where you want more shadow to fall.<br />
If you find yourself unable to add more color you can always add another coat of Mr Super Clear and then go from there. This will seal in your work and allow you to add more color. <br />
You can also apply the same technique to the highlights. adding a little highlight to cheeks or brows can really make the shadow deepen with out adding more shadows. <br />
I also added a hint of dark orange to his skin tone to give it more depth. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5txzB3rHXRw/USmDzcZHkZI/AAAAAAAABtU/A_uQ4Uii1do/s1600/step1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="126" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5txzB3rHXRw/USmDzcZHkZI/AAAAAAAABtU/A_uQ4Uii1do/s320/step1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
You can see here in this picture what the shadows look like on the temples and below the apples of his cheeks. Also don't forget to shade the eyes and crease of the lips. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sureRE0b5CA/USmDzdbRzBI/AAAAAAAABtQ/SReqrm5n5t4/s1600/step1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sureRE0b5CA/USmDzdbRzBI/AAAAAAAABtQ/SReqrm5n5t4/s400/step1a.jpg" width="371" /></a></div>
<br />
I originally painted his beard and stash with paint and decided that
I did not like it. I was able to remove it with alcohol and qtips. It
took a little work but was worth it.<br />
His eye brows follow his brow ridge which is not symmetrical as you can
see I think they tried to add "The Rock's" eye brow lift and failed. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qhli2KA_8Uw/USmDzS0FbXI/AAAAAAAABtY/VdJkwtERlIg/s1600/step2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qhli2KA_8Uw/USmDzS0FbXI/AAAAAAAABtY/VdJkwtERlIg/s400/step2.jpg" width="373" /></a></div>
<br />
It's hard to see in pictures but in real life he has a furrowed brow and shadow on his forehead and above his eyebrows. I used a short flat brush for this and actually cut the brush down a bit with a blade to gain more control. It allowed me to push the pigment into the creases which gives a controlled deep shadow<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CdNPABnvtYI/USmDzotzlwI/AAAAAAAABtg/6uepMUjCl_o/s1600/step3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="387" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CdNPABnvtYI/USmDzotzlwI/AAAAAAAABtg/6uepMUjCl_o/s400/step3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
His beard and stash are sculpted on so I just followed the pattern. Again like the image says if you mess up don't worry you can use that gummy eraser to fix it up. <br />
<br />
Now for the eye basics. You may end up painting your eyes many times until you are happy with them. It took me about 3 tries to get it where I liked and I still want to change them. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHNFYSaC_GfiLeZ8TnsfzlnuSd-83TJSCJN6rpKt5MTOouIJz4afDkbIio8jfl7NTDnkncc0JoXcOnDY3vMyPpb8af2oaGZhx7Z9LH3jv0H2JiV-eflKyYs-TuvCMXpRcyyIFE483xOtVJ/s1600/eyes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="117" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHNFYSaC_GfiLeZ8TnsfzlnuSd-83TJSCJN6rpKt5MTOouIJz4afDkbIio8jfl7NTDnkncc0JoXcOnDY3vMyPpb8af2oaGZhx7Z9LH3jv0H2JiV-eflKyYs-TuvCMXpRcyyIFE483xOtVJ/s320/eyes.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I also ended up adding more shadow below his eyes and on his eye lids to make his eyes pop a bit more.<br />
The Brushes I use for painting are <a href="http://www.dickblick.com/products/raphael-kolinsky-red-sable-fine-pointed-round-series-8404/" target="_blank">Raphael Kolinsky Red Sable Pointed Round Brushes </a>Sizes 3/0 , 5/0, & 0. They are expensive but they are amazing quality, since they are natural sable the tips will not curl like synthetic brushes. <br />
Start with the outter pinks of the eye, then add in the white so you can push the whites out as far as you want with out trying to 'dot' in the pink.<br />
This is where the matte medium and flow release really come in handy for the paints. Get a pallet and mix your paints on it. simple pallet paper will work and a crap brush for mixing.<br />
put a drop of paint on your pallet and then take a bit of it in your brush and mix some water into it on the pallet, I always add matte medium as it thins it down nicely while keeping the paint from being grainy. Now the flow release helps release the surface tension of the paint so you do not have to press your brush very hard if as all onto the surface to release the paint. (easy eye balls) <br />
Make sure to let your paint dry between layers.<br />
Now add you color Iris. Put the dark color down first then a light color almost to the edges. this will make your eyes look awesome. Now add the black pupil and once that is dry (flow release is awesome here) get some white and give a little reflection glow placed on the iris and pupil.<br />
Then add a shadow outline around the eye, this will give it more depth. If you are painting a girl you can turn it into eye lashes.<br />
<br />
Here is what the finished product looks like:<br />

Yesterday I went to the Portland Comic Con for one reason: to have James Hong sign my Lo-pan Mighty Mugg. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was interesting being a con goer instead of vending or working a con. I think I prefer working one vs attending one. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The highlights were meeting James Hong, Lou Ferrigno and having him rub my head (no one can resist the pink mohawk not even the Hulk), and saying goodnight to Dean Cain as he was leaving for the night. The part that sucked is that pictures of them weren't allowed unless you paid $$. So I have no cool pictures of the day. I really wanted to get a picture of James with my little Lo-pan but I didn't have an extra $35 lying around. </div>

This is my busy time and I've been busting my ass to pay the bills and such. <br />
I've been working on smaller projects since last year and they aren't miniatures but dolls and action figures. I've basically been repainting their faces. Sounds easy but it's not. There is a whole science to it I never thought existed. Mainly I've been repainting 1/6 scale dolls but just started in on some 1/18 Gi Joe figures. Lady Jaye here took about 20 minutes to complete and the larger dolls take about 2-3 hours. <br />I swear i've been working on a miniatures as well but i'm usually dead at the end of the day. These pictures show about 3 months worth of projects. <br />

So here is the start of a very large project that will take many moons to complete. Since i'm finally on my winter vacation (all 7 days of it) I'm going to start painting one of the figures. I'm not sure which one yet. It may be the dog. ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Missing from the picture is the wall and door between the step and bar. Table, Chairs, Drunk robot and probably a bunch of odds and ends. This piece is going to be my tribute to Post Apocalyptic movies and there will be a lot of little do-dads from those movies in it. Got an idea for something you think I should add well now is your chance! Post it in the comments and I may just use it! ;) </div>

Well he didn't turn out as dark as I had planned and I never truly got a good flow with the court women but over all I'm mildly happy with them. I probably could have spent another 5 hours on their flesh tones just to get it right. There are still a few shiny spots so it looks like I may need to go over them again with the matte sealer as well as clean up and adjust a few spots here and there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways enough with kicking myself on this guy I hope you enjoy. This set is really enjoyable to paint. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here is a little update on my Lion Knight. I've also been working on his women which is why there doesn't seem to be very much done to him since last time. No picture of them yet as they have a long way to go. Skin tones seem to take forever to paint. I've also put a coat of paint on his base as well (not pictured) So I totally have a plan now! :D<br />
I also still have a long way to go with this guy, I need to add a dark orange glaze to his darker hair and clean up the gold trim on his cape and i'm sure a bunch of other fiddly stuff. I'm saving his claws for last since they seem to get a lot of contact from my hand when I'm painting and i don't want my hard work to rub off. <br />

Here is a little update on what I'm working on now, the Lion Knight 2 by Kingdom Death. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think today i'm going to start on his face and make him look like a traditional lion although not a bright tan lion but more of a dirty darker fur lion. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not sure what I'm going to do for a base yet or if I want to use what he came with. I guess I will find out when I reach that point. </div>

Ok kiddies, here is my newest monstrosity. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Siobhana Of Weissburg by <a href="http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/vampire/oldest/02107" target="_blank">Reaper Miniatures</a>. This gal has been around for ages and i'm not even sure how I ended up with this figure. I think it might have been when a friend bought out a shop of their minis when they were going out of business. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">But she is for the WAMP painting contest as I wanted to get something done with out having to put my heart and soul into it. I chose her because she had her own atmosphere and I wouldn't have to build something myself. (I know it's totally lazy of me) But sometimes you just need something quick and dirty. It took me a few hours but I finally found a zen with her and got her painted up pretty quickly. I could probably fiddle around with her for a few more hours but i wanted to get started on my Kingdom Death contest entry since I only have a month and a half to get it finished. So expect some work in progress posts over the next month. <br />Anyways I hope you enjoy my little purple vampire. </span></div>

The only reason this piece is dark is because it was painted during depression. Other than that I'm pretty sure if this guy was real he would be amazingly stinky. mmmm dead shark cape. <br />
After the past few pieces I've painted I needed something simple and fun to paint, and I've been waiting over a month to paint this guy. I love sharks and finding this guy as my local shop was pure gold. I wanted to paint him right away but I needed to finish up my contest stuff first. <br />
In this piece I experimented with simplifying my pallet using black and whites to darken my paints instead of adding another step of color and then black or white. Also the darker/tan skin tone was a good excuse to experiment with using more purple and reds than I normally do. I could/should have spent more time on his skin tone but I didn't since depression was in charge. I also laughed at the shark rib bones on the figure since shark's skeletons are made of all cartilage except for their jaws and to top it off <a href="http://greatwhitesbio.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/skeleton.jpg" target="_blank">sharks don't even have ribs</a>..... Oh I actually found a use for dry brushing! (I remember when dry brushing was all the rage) I've shunned it for such a long time I always forget that it works well on wood textures. Although my dry brushing wasn't as "dry" as the name suggests. After the dry brushing of multiple layers of color I added a thin wash of a darker brown color to blend the colors together and remove the harshness that dry brushing creates and then started adding in more layers of dark colors to shade the shipwreck. I wanted to give her a weathered look with out going 'over board'... (har har)<br />

Because honestly why should the princess settle for the blue lion. (Insert "once you go black (lion)" joke)<br />
I quickly painted this one up for the <a href="http://www.wampforum.com/VB4/forum.php" target="_blank">WAMP Soda pop painting contest</a>, I didn't think I was going to make it with all that is going on for me this month. I had to trim a few corners here and there. I could have easily spent another 10+ hours on this piece fiddling with details and cleaning up paint mistakes but time was running short and I had to call it. I also haven't had to chance to put any sealer on her since it's been raining nonstop for the past couple of days. I would have liked to put a gloss on the base so the planet and ring would have reflected on the surface of the base and it would look 3D, but I have a feeling I'm going to be waiting for a long time before that will happen.<br />
Anyways I hope you enjoy her as much as I do. I promise my next piece will be less Anime and more dark and moody! :-D <br />

Well I finally finished up those Super dungeon explore dragons I started oh so long ago. I went for something easy, silly and not too involved for this one. It was almost like instant satisfaction since I only had to do a small amount of painting and put them on a base.</div>
Now i'm sure if you own SDE box you will notice my winged dragon is much larger than yours and no it's not available to the public. That is unless someone bugs soda pop enough for them to make it available but I don't see it happening, but I could be wrong. ;) I should also include that my boyfriend sculpted these little buggers for Soda Pop, ( <a href="http://monster-zer0.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Check out his Blog here</a> ) which is why I have different sized dag-rons than everyone else.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways this is my first entry for the Soda pop painting contest I posted about a few days ago. (scroll down for information) Now I've started on my next one and she will take much longer to paint than this one. I hope you enjoy these little dag-rons as much as I do. </div>

Artemis has been hanging around my miniature bin for a while now. Finally WAMP forum decided to run a painting contest and she got pulled out and she was finally graced with paint.<br />
<br />
I decided not to go crazy with the paint scheme and to keep it simple. Although I couldn't resist adding a portrait of medusa onto her shield. I've been trying to push myself to take advantage of large empty spaces this way. Medusa was a lot of fun to paint for sure. <br />
I also tried the really drastic NMM on the sword that a lot of people have been doing to their GW models, and I feel like it looks like crap in real life but looks great in pictures. It's kinda odd that way. I'm sure I could have pushed the highlights further than I did but I just wasn't feeling "it".<br />
The base is a cheapie I picked up at my local game shop I can't remember what company puts it out. I'll have to check next time i'm there if anyone is interested.<br />
<br />
Anyways I off and I hope you enjoy Artemis as much as I do.<br />

Any one who knows me in person knows that I LOVE Aliens. It has been my favorite movie since I was a kid, even with all the nightmares it gave me. This obsession has bled over to modeling and I want to acquire all the old AEF 54mm aliens/marines resin models. So i've gotten a few off of ebay and I happen to find someone who had some and recast them. Well I got them and they were not the best casting job to put it kindly. So I didn't ask for my money back I left neutral feed back which you can see here:<br />

It's not cruel or mean, I just wanted others to know it wasn't the best kit. But you will notice that the seller decided to insult me as a person. I had my website information connected to my Ebay account (which i've since removed) and I guess some how he found my facebook account (which isn't suppose to be public "Thanks facebook!") and he is making a comment based on a joke picture I took while working with some E6000 glue which I'm allergic to. I usually wear gloves and a respirator when working with it. </div>

I have no fear! Let my freak flag fly high and proud! I mean how could I not wear a light up mohawk with my respirator?!?! Who runs Barter Town?</div>
By the way you can get the mohawk at Toys R Us near the check out. You know you want one!<br />

Ok so what could be so bad about the kit that I would leave a neutral feedback for? Well I took some pictures and you can judge for yourself. They are unaltered except to brighten up a few of them, and you can tell me what kind of feedback you would have left. </div>

Lots of air bubbles, most of them were missing their fingers, and more putty blobs to accentuate his armor.<br />

Double mold lines! He didn't bother to clean up the original model before making his mold. So now you get two mold lines for the price of one. (If it's not clear , these are recasts from originals)<br />

So yeah that is a neutral for me, he shipped fast so I didn't wait long. I was willing to let it go with just a neutral feedback and not asking for my money back. I'm still not asking for my money back. But I honestly don't believe I deserve to be insulted in my ebay feed back especially by someone who is trying to make a new business and is a Chief Firefighter. (BamBam Models). I just don't understand why someone who is there to protect our communities can be that way not just to me but to his other customers who were not happy with his product or service. Shame on you Sir! You are suppose to be a model citizen. Shame....<br />
<br />
I run my own online business and I'm always kind and work my hardest to make everything right for my customers. Customers /Fans are what make your business successful and grow, insulting them will not accomplish that.<br />

Here is one of the many version of Artemis by <a href="http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?category=miniatures~fantasy-humans" target="_blank">Hasslefree miniatures</a>. I'm painting this girl up for <a href="http://www.wampforum.com/VB4/showthread.php?t=13197" target="_blank">WAMP's HF painting contest</a>. There is still plenty of time to paint a miniature if you want to enter as well. <br />So far i've mainly just worked on her skin tone and had just finished added some purples, reds, and pinks to her skin. Since these pictures I've started in on the NMM pieces so I can come back to the skin later and do touch ups. I plan on painting a picture onto her shield as it's a large blank canvas and needs something awesome to fill up that space. Also I've already got her base chosen and ready to be painted as well. Of course you will have to wait for the finished piece to see it. <br />
