This female feline Warrior of Bast from Crocodile Games' Wargods of Ægyptus was an absolute joy to paint.  Like most of the Wargods line, the model is not bogged down with unnecessary details like so many miniatures seem to be these days.  Keeping with the minimalist theme, and so as not to detract any attention away from the model itself, I opted for a very plain sandy base textured with Corn Meal.

 

I'm especially pleased with the way the face turned out, but much of the credit has to go to Chris Fitzpatrick's wonderful sculpt.  I certainly plan to paint more Wargods figures soon, as they very nearly paint themselves.

 

This was my first real attempt at a dark bronze metal... and while I'm not convinced it actually looks like metal, I liked the color a lot, so decided to keep it.  I contrasted the smooth, clean lines of the cloth and accessories with a rougher, more organic style on the "skin" to hopefully help represent short fur.  The effect is much better in real life!

 

I knew my camera/computer didn't care for the color red... I didn't realize how much it also hates greys!  The photos came out very grainy and dark, unforunately.

 

Now if the Croc would just get a move on with the Wargods of Olympus  figures...
