She strolled through the forest enjoying the warm autumn sun on her face while the chill in the wind blew over her skin. It was her task to usher in the change from summer and transition to winter. She would have the forest explode with color before the grays of winter settled in.
I was inspired by the art work of Dani Diez in the shaman collection to convert the Boudicca bust into the image of a forest creature/shaman. I picture her walking through the woods ushering in autumn by using her mystical powers to change the season.
Original sculpt is Boudicca by Pedro Fernandez. Available through FER miniatures.

Ok so I just keep coming back to this/ the EXTENSIVE amount of work that went into this is only matched by the superhuman paint job. If every thing in the world can be compared to sports figures and everyone knows of MICHAEL JORDAN -than you are the MICHAEL JORDAN OF MINIATURE PAINTING. Now has that for a comparative!!!Chris "D.Vader" SuhrePLUS
