Reaper's Talisha Highbringer - 2177

This piece should be renamed to Dolly Parton's revenge.

There is some testing on this model - the skin tones are smooth and contrast with the drybrushing technique used on the dress. From a tabletop distance the high contrast looks good. Close inspection gives a different impression.

===================================================

Reaper's Elbreth Eveningstar - 2618

Oh no! Party getting eaten by big purple monster. Don't worry...

It's a bird, it's a plane...

No - it's SuperElf!!

Oh seriously, I was originally thinking of something borish like brown or green and then it hit me - it's an elf - I can paint it any color I want! All I need now is an S on the cape! There are two front scans - the lewd colors cause all sorts of problems with the scanner optimzation coding, so the first scan is with lighten midtones turned on. The second is the standard / normal scan.
