Uniform color choice

[Kwill3]

Hello,

I recently got the Anima Tactics\' Rayne mini (first picture) and as I\'m waiting for the greenstuff to dry on it, I was thinking of what color to paint the clothes, and I am torn, so I was hoping for a little feedback.

Should I go with a \"sweet and innocent\" (but with a scythe) look? (second pic) or stick to a \"I\'m evil and don\'t need to hide it\" look with Gogo Yubari\'s uniform?

Can\'t go wrong with pink with some black. And a petite amount of splattered red. But, just my opinion! :twisted:

I'd like to see her done up with the sweet an innocent style, the stock photo is a dark uniform so I'd go with something different.

I'd prefer it painted like on the first picture

You could also check out a new release from Soda Pop miniatures (the odd anime miniature). I immediately got reminded of that one when I saw this.

PS: Kill Bill rocks (last pic)

If you can pull of a tartan skirt it would rock. Not only would it tie in with the 'cutsie' school girl concept, but it would have enough punk rock connotations to keep it serious. Better still if you look at some of the punk rock skirts online and add a couple of straps from greenstuff you could almost 'punk up' a school girl outfit.

Thank you everyone for the advice.

It will be some time before I can get any pictures posted because I'm waiting for the air pump to arrive for my airbrush I just bought and I have to teach myself how to paint with it on a different mini first.

I like the Tartan skirts (after google image searching them) but anything other than gap-filling with green stuff is beyond my aptitude. I use the GW blue/yellow stuff and I have to use vasaline just to keep the stuff from sticking to everything it touches. Major props to those who can actually sculpt with that stuff.

Currently I have a 50mm base covered with grey texture paste from skullcrafts' steampunk kit and I was going to paint it up like asphalt with a hopscotch game painted on with some blood dripping from the weapon. Kind of twisted, but hey, its a schoolgirl with a scythe, right?

Decided to make the skirt more like the blue tie on the "sweet girl" pic.
Still a lot of work to do.

Sounds like it is set wonderfully in your head, and I can't wait to see it get out and expressed on the mini.

I like the Second pic personally, but white/gray looks good on real people, but kind of plain on a mini.

Well its finished. now I need to clean up the photos and post them for voting, but here are some to look at till then.

I'd like to pick your brains on the skin tone if you don't mind! Looks good!

[Prophecy07]

Any chance we could get a close up of the face? Looks great!

[freakinacage]

I think I just fell in love with yet another mini!

Very well done! gotta say love the color choice for the uniform, nice job getting a cute feel to her without going into a sailor moon looking anime girl.

Kudos on the pink stripped undies
