It would be cool (if propperly done) to paint the tip of the spear white-red like the metal was hot. Hope to see it finished sometime soon. Cheers.

The armor shading is great and you have really captured the expression on her face. Can't wait to see the finished product. I'm bookmarking and can't wait for future updates. Terry Becca,

FWIW I think lava bases might be a little overused, some craggy rocks with petroglyphs on them would look fantastic though. Maybe have her standing on a rocky ledge or cliff - you could do a tall display base to suggest she's overlooking a precipice. This is what I would imagine her natural habitat to be like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Asgard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Thor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_Wall Wow, she’s looking really wild and fierce.

The face is perfect, and the metallics are spot on. As for the base, I would recommend lava. Simply because she's a fire giant :) Would make the most sense to me. Regardless of what you base her on, she's turning out wonderfully. NW Becca,

I do agree with your thought, she does have a lot of character and your idea about how to paint her is pretty solid. I'm wondering the most about how your going to give a feminine feel to the fire giant's skin. It should be interesting. I want to see your work in progress with this mini.

I had the feeling it was boring and a carbon copy of the 1st one except for the locations. Even the Lovecraftesque touch (I love HPL) did feel quite uninspired to me plus the fact it was flagrant there was going to be a 3rd entry in the series (much like the feeling when kill bill 1 ended). I'm still willing to give it a try to see if it fixes the 2nd movie and offers a nice end (hopefully) to the series. I liked the 1st one but hated dead man’s chest.
