From starcraft series of games, this is Kerrigan ‘Queen of Blades’. Following Arcturus Mengsk’s betrayal, she was captured and infested by the Zerg Swarm, ultimately becoming the self-proclaimed Queen of Blades (a.k.a. the Zerg Queen) and leader of the Swarm. Sort of like the Borg Queen, only Zerg and Human rather than artificial.
The model is a 3D print, which was done in 5 pieces of base, legs, torso and two ‘wings’. printing the wings required a lot of support material and i could only fit one at a time on the bed of the printer. I left a lot of the artifacts from the support material rather than cleaning it up, which gives it a more bumpy, organic look. Painting the model is where most of the work is, and this was the hardest paint job i’ve done. there are about 8 colours painted with an airbrush, with lots of mixing and gloss/matt variations. I also washed and dry-brushed to enhance the detail.
Cepting for those darned little lines, Awesome. But whose driving the Red Hot car fixin to run her down? I like the way ya dun her. She looks better than I spected!
