80 mm figure purchased on AliExpress. Cast resin - not printed. I just added the rifle sling from lead foil, with PE buckles.

Thanks. I’m still trying to improve my techniques. I think it turned out better than my last figure.

That’s some great brushwork! Doing skin well seems the greatest challenge of painting - you’ve done that really well here.

Great work Leo. The skin is a nice, tanned shade and I think you have brought out the athletic shape quite well. The clothes are real sharp too- the detail is nicely defined and your shadowing/highlighting is well observed- the pink top, blue daisy dukes and the two tone scarf grab the eye. Not too long ago I did a 75mm fig that needed wood grain painted on it- not an easy task so I can appreciate the way you have done that on the carbine.

Well done. Always strikes me as odd that there is apparently no lack of food in the wasteland as most of the denizens there of seem to be remarkably well nourished and healthy.

Excellent brush work. Had some skin tones. Care to tell us your technique?

I use mostly Vallejo and Citadel acrylics. I do a complete cover of the skin tone of my choice (in this case - Vallejo Dark Flesh). Then I start shading - very thin layers of Dark Flesh with Orange Brown. The thinned paint dries fairly quickly so I can build up succeedingly smaller layers to graduate the shadows from light to darkest. It’s similar for highlighting - I add Normal Skintone to Dark Flesh and paint succeedingly smaller areas to the highpoints. I add white to the mix to highlight facial features (cheekbones, nose, and chin and jaw-line), and very minute amounts of red for cheeks and lips. Detail around the eyes is shading under the eye sockets, and lining the eye-lashes with very thin black (thin is better so you can build up to the desired opaqueness, rather than making it way too dark and making her look like a hooker - unless that is your intention!). My painting is still evolving from my style of a year ago, and will probably continue to evolve until I can’t see well enough to paint (old-age, eye surgery, and cataracts 
)
That’s a suggested starting point that can be adapted to various preferences.

Thanks all for liking! To be honest (and more than a little boastful) this is my most successful figure painting …I don’t know where I made my mistake, but I will have to analyze my figure and try to repeat that mistake 
I really like the way her leather jacket turned out.
But the figure was good quality to begin with.
