My love is stronger than any death! I have lain in your arms, panting with the violence of our love; you have held and crushed and conquered me, drawing my soul to your lips with the fierceness of your bruising kisses. My heart is welded to your heart, my soul is part of your soul! Were I still in death and you fighting for life, I would come back from the abyss to aid you--aye, whether my spirit floated with the purple sails on the crystal sea of paradise, or writhed in the molten flames of hell! I am yours, and all the gods and all their eternities shall not sever us! - Bêlit (Queen of the Black Coast by Robert E. Howard)

Nice job on the sculpts, just needs some touch ups around the boots area, cool use of those hand towels for soft goods and outfitting her with the weapons.

Really dig the parts, the extra details, the way the BW head looks repainted, and the effort overall.

Only critique I would have is to maybe smooth out the fleshtones. Some of it may just be the lighting though. I have a hunch she's not quite so shiny in-hand.

She seems too much like "barbarian" woman and not enough pirate queen.

You planning a Red Sonja? It would be cool to see the chain mail bikini.

Went off the Marvel Comics pics of her, like most people do. The original description in 'Queen of the Black Coast' had her topless and naked except for a a silky girdle:

Quote:
She was slender, yet formed like a goddess: at once lithe and voluptuous. Her only garment was a broad silken girdle. Her white ivory limbs and the ivory globes of her breasts drove a beat of fierce passion through the Cimmerian's pulse, even in the panting fury of battle. Her rich black hair, black as a Stygian night, fell in rippling burnished clusters down her supple back

In the planning stages. Finished up another one tonight that is completely different. Again based on the Marvel Comics version. Going to post it tomorrow.

Sweetly done Kambei. Had a feeling you had a Belit on the pipe.

Push You Down, that's the version I have planned...silken wrap and very much free-breasted. ; )

Although I cannot claim any familiarity with the character, the figure is outstanding, Kam. I really dig the theme that you have going here, too.

Well done, brother.

Had a strangle feeling that was the one you were going with ;-) That is why I did the Marvel version.
