Mierce Queen Johanna....or is it Valeria from Conan ?

I've just painted up another Mierce figure, Langseax Joanna, Warrior Queen of Mierce.  Who would make a nice surrogate for Valeria for Conan…

Lovely figure to paint.  This is the first time I have painted extensive areas of flesh with anything other than layering.  I sought advice from my favourite sources, Hobby Cheating and Miniac.  Hobby Cheating had the best tuto on this subject; he paints flesh with glazing techniques and does a great job of explaining why.

Obviously much progress is yet to be made, but I am nonetheless pleased with the results.  I was aiming at a pale bluish tint as Joanna hails from Britannia, and is no doubt too busy doing queeny things to make the most of Brittania's two weeks of annual sunshine  : )
