You, sir, are my hero!
For reference, the magic in her world is based off Avatar: the Last Airbender - she is an air-crafter primarily, though she can use the other elements (just not as well). So if you want to run with @vermin King's suggestion, swirls of wind around her hand or something would be appropriate.

To me her head looks a little small again, and her legs are a bit too long. Those could be stylistic choices, but since she is a single fig that eran is going to use with other figures, it is probably best to keep her realistically proportioned. Lots of figures actually have oversized head and hands.

Lots of figures actually have oversized head and hands. I'll have to look at more minis while I'm drawing to get a feel for proportions... here she is, shorter legs and larger head

I like this one much better! On the other hand, your first loyalty should be to yourself.

cowboyleland eranthank you for the encouraging words here's a new samurai warrior, speed mini attempt... blank paper to finished mini in 45 minutes. he was also a lesson in why you should always do an inked trace before you scan your sketches... pencil scans can make life difficult, both on cleanup and converting to vector

...I noticed my huge mistake and his fatal flaw.... back-hand bart was teased mercilessly in grammar school a little nip here, a little tuck there, and some major surgery... bart finally got his bad hand turned the right way

The blond gunslinger is certainly a "10"

The blond gunslinger is certainly a "10" i see what you did there here's another speed mini, a samurai gunslinger. the pencil scan edge grew a little on me with this one, it almost becomes like brush strokes

I'll leave this here My favourite of the bunch! Glad to see the female figures (even that hair!) aren't giving you anymore difficulty That hair might give her some difficulty in a fight, but I do appreciate its cinematic quality...

I don't think I saw #12 until now, don't know how I missed it. Nice work (I feel it is now time to add) "as usual."
Are you going to put the whole set on one page?
What's next? Just making conversation, no pressure.

Like it - both dynamic posing and overall "manga-style" character! I agree with Mesper! These are great! Very dynamic poses! Actually, the poses and style reminds me a little of One-Piece (I'm reading the manga now to study Japanese). I'm also super impressed by how fast you're finishing them!

Thank you everyone! my slow work week last week has become the complete opposite this week, so unfortunately I haven't really been able to do any more figures yet. I HAVE done some test prints and attempts at assembling the models... some are going to need some major alignment adjustment (especially the early ones). I think once that's done I'll put together a samurai vs. gunslingers page and put it up here as far as what's next, i have much project ADD kicking around in my head... here's what i've got in no certain order: more development of the weird west setting a small skirmish game based on the video game S4 league designing miniatures for my Infinity army lists (MRRF and JSA Sectorials) Shadowrun/Cyberpunk Minis I also picked up A Fistful of Kung Fu at Squirmydad's suggestion, so I'm going to be learning that and probably working on some gang sets for that too. (which given the setting means I can do pretty much whatever I want lol). I probably won't be able to get started on any of this in earnest until next week, but that's what I've got planned!

here's a glimpse at what's in the works (Infinity MRRF sectorial army)... I take no real credit for coming up with it, all I did was take one of my favorite pieces of Infinity art and edit out Margot so that Duroc could be made into a mini, however I did redraw it and he will be more stylized to the way i do things lol. This is probably (actually, it is for sure) the most complicated and detailed mini I've attempted so far, i think it may take me a fair bit of time to get right

I've got lots rattling around in my brain too, not enough time or energy to get done what needs to be done, much less what I really _want_ to be doing. I'm interested to see what you think of a Fistful of Kung Fu; it's put out by Ganesha Games, the same people who do Song of Blades and Heroes, etc, but I don't _think_ it's the same ruleset...

here's the front art for Duroc, as the character is not my property the finished figure has been posted in the appropriate section of the forum

what's Duroc without Margot? It's like the Big Bad Wolf with no Little Red Riding Hood... just like before, here's the front art, the full figure can be found elsewhere

Seems like there is something odd with his right hand and wrist, but he is very cool.

Seems like there is something odd with his right hand and wrist, but he is very cool. i think he looks like he's holding the gun with the trademark "lefty writing claw"... being a lefty myself I may have done this subconsciously. here's a little preview of what's in the works, the next 2 chasseurs and the first of 6 metros. when they're finished I'll upload them with the other models
