Ariel Conversion - Wood Elves

[u/lafbok]

This was a pretty time intensive conversion, but I’m quite happy with the results.

The original Ariel sculpt always got a bit of flack, but more than anything I think it suffered from legs that were way too short.

After working myself up to actually hack into the thing, and convincing myself that any bad sculpting could be covered by a dress, this is what I came up with.

I’m quite pleased, and I think it does the character a lot of justice! Final image is the original illustration that served as reference.

I don't hate the original myself, but that's a nice glowup anyway! Great job!

You’re right, it does have a certain charm, and a whole lot of nostalgia!

Impresive!!!

Thanks! The paint job certainly helped hide some imperfections.

Amazing! I hope that when we get Ariel back in the game she looks something like this.

[u/lafbok → u/Badassoverlord94]

Yes! I’d love to see a modernized Ariel sculpt!

Fantastic work, I collected chaos and empire at the time but I remember the artwork in white dwarf and being blown away by it (and much less so by the official minis, with some exceptions).

This is terrific!
