Hello all,
The mini is a brilliant sculpt and was great fun to paint - nice detailing and a well-shaped subject. I've tried to make her look as the official card (although her hair is more red, but I quite liked the nuance I got and didn't want to tone it down):
I've not finished her base yet, nor applied any blood to her (primarily the zombivore version) as I wanted to show a "clean" version. A bloodied version will follow in a few days.
The official brief on this character is:
Headstrong and resourceful, Lea was one of the rare teenagers who hung out with the popular kids and made the honor role. Had her fiery temper not caused so much mischief among teachers and classmates alike, she could have reached the very top. Society and its dumb rules didn't fit her taste, and that kept her from having it all. The zombies changed all that.
Life has gotten more challenging for Lea. She has outsmarted and outgunned most opponents so far, but lately she finds she's afraid to be left alone. She is learning to swallow her pride and trust the other survivors. Zombies are teaching her how life can be easier when you have friends you can rely on.
Lea is an optional promotional survivor available to those that raise an extra amount on their pledge for the Zombicide Season Two Kickstarter campaign. A zombie version (Zombivor) will also be included.
All the best,
Kasper
I actually managed to paint a set of survivors!
The first is that rascally youth, Lea the Teenager. An optional promotional survivor from the last kickstarter she is - apparently - based on Emily Jean "Emma" Stone in her role as Wichita in Zombieland. A brilliant movie but while the face resembles that actress, the clothing does not really look like what Wichita wore.
And speaking of clothing, she is without doubt the queen of miniskirts - any shorter and this would be a "not safe for work" post.

That's not so much a mini-skirt, Kasper, but more a belt! Great figure and I like your paint jobs. Red hair really suits her.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vampifan - glad you like her, although she is very likeable. A belt might, as you suggest, be a better description of her skirt, but "Lea, Queen of Belts" sounds even weirder :-).
DeleteNice paintjob Kasper.
ReplyDeleteHer Zombivore is a cheeky number. Her hair looks great, no need to change anything.
Hi Bob - thanks, not often one blushes while applying paint :-)
DeleteHola

Hi j.d. and welcome to the blog. Thanks to Google translate I think I got the central parts, so thanks!

Wow, that's quite a miniature and beautifully painted.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael - the top picture seems a bit cloudy, no idea why.
