Black Bella Painted

Bella joins my crew! She was one of the first Riot Quest heroes I picked up after the starter set but for a bunch of reasons I either put off or struggled to paint her for the longest time.

I wanted her to have a dark and simple looking clothing and went with various shades of grey and black with brown leather belts to add detail. I did find it tricky to paint all the various buckles she has all over her. 

I like how the dark green scabbards give a splash of a different colour but without drawing focus or changing the feel of the model.

The long purple hair wasn't something I originally planned as I normally don't try to follow Privateer Press's studio schemes. But in this case it felt right and I went with it.

And here is the scale shot with Professor Pendrake.
Bella is a great model for me as she sees use in Riot Quest regluarly and she can also be used in both my Cygnar/Mercs Flame in the darkness lists and also my Merc Talion Charter lists! 
I love getting multiple ways to use my minis.

It wasn't until I had finished painting her that someone brought up this similarity to me...

 Leela from Futurama... now I can't unsee it! Oh well...
