I promise, no owl-related jokes... yet...

Welcome to the first post of Laughing Owl Minis, a blog featuring gaming miniatures and landscaping created and customized as commissions, gifts, or just for fun!

Well, hello there! 

I'm still creating this blog, so please bear with me, but you can also check us out on Facebook (Laughing Owl Painters)! More images and reviews to come!

Hot!

Reaper Miniatures - Sophie, Succubus
Now, anyone who knows this line of figures knows that Sophie is missing another sword or a sheath - I'm not sure which, since this was a gift that happened to be second-hand. But I think she looks pretty cool without it.

The membrane of the wings is black with a red wash, the leather is black with a chestnut wash, the hair black with an armor wash. The skin really pops, and it was accomplished by doing two layers of a brownish red, drybrushing with a bright red, washing with red, and then covered with a thin layer of Crimson Gore. I know, that's a lot of steps, but man, was it worth it!

I'm making a display out of plaster and putting it in a case, then using it as an ad at a local gaming store. I'll have more pictures when it's finished!
