This piece was great fun to paint, and is another example of really crisp and detailed sculpting. Even the tree base is dripping with artistry. In particular I really liked the pose of the model.
I decided to add some colour to the base and tree stump, because the actual predator was done with a limited palette. I did a similar thing with some 15mm predators I painted last year; the idea that these guys prefer hot, jungle climates is a theme which can easily be carried through to the bases.
I added minor mottling to the thighs and exposed shoulders; nothing big, but just spicing up the single tone skin.
She has trophies on her back - been a busy hunter...
I combined two metallics on the armour to add interest. The blade is also a more tarnish metal, suggesting use in the field.
Here's a shot of the predette with some other predators - from left to right: a Heresy Miniatures predator, the Predastore Jungle Predette and Running Hunter, then a Copplestone Castings predator.
