Salome

 Having wanted to try my hand at some freehand drawing on a model, I found this Salome kit from El Greco Miniatures and Kuton. Those that know the Bible know her as the daughter of the King who seductively danced for him in exchange for the head of John the Baptist. The kit is approx 120mm, and comes in 6 parts - the top half of Salome, the bottom half, the front of her hair, two feet, and a rocky step base. The image is her top half in a brown + white primer, and the bottom in gray. 

 The only image I can find of this subject/pose is the one that Kuton used for the box art. 

 so the first I start off with is my "pinkle" base for the skin - 

Then I had the bright idea that since to my knowledge, there was no description of her, so I figure that being Middle Eastern there was a chance of her being a slightly darker skin and a European person. So I over sprayed the pinkle with one of the darker base colors from the Tanned Skin set of paints. 

But now I'm torn between the new color and the original brown/white primer coat. So having to think about things, this is where I'll stop for today. Check back to see which direction I went. Thanks.
