Akivasha’s dress is… well, it is. Which is more than she had in The Hour of the Dragon, but I guess the miniature’s designer had to change the clothing options. In comparison to Atali’s “pale but alive” skin tone, I used green-greys to shade Akivasha’s skin to emphasize her undead nature. I considered a white-and-gold loincloth, to make it look more Egyptian (Stygian), but white clothes and a very pale skin would make for a boring whole.
I think this is the first vampire model I’ve painted whose fangs I didn’t hate. They tend to be ridiculously exaggerated. I still would’ve preferred her without fangs.
And let’s not forget scantily-clad men because this is the Conan universe (well, kind of…):
I’m reasonably sure that this isn’t canonical Robert E. Howard lore, especially because the M60 was developed after Howard’s death… But apparently there’s a Conan/Punisher crossover story somewhere in the apocryphal tomes of Marvel Comics. And the miniature itself is badass.
Just a couple more models to go and I have a fully painted complete collection of the limited SAVAGE Minicrate series.
