Ok, it's finished. I was waiting for PP to release an alternative version of the bad sculpt of the battlebox, but since there doesn't seem to be any plans for it, I finished doing a Maddox conversion myself. I have tried to make her look a little bit more "warcaster-ish", since the original miniature makes her look just as a random female stormknight. I have also decided to go for a conversion that shows her using the ranged version of her sword, since that is what Maddox usually does in my games, being so-so as a melee fighter. What do you think? What version would you use if, like me, have both versions painted? (See first page for original Maddox pics). Maddox conversion:Maddox Conversion Angles.jpg (505.99 KB)

What stands out to me is that her hair is too white; there doesn't seem to be any shading so it looks like a flat white mass. Even for bright white hair I would start with a darker grey, apply a wash then add the white as the highlights. And if you're painting glow effects, like those lightning coils, it might be a good idea not to go too bright with the rest of the model (including the hair, so only highlight up to a dark grey) so that the glows look brighter.
Other than that she's looking good. The eyes look very nice, great shading on the armour, and I love the way you've been painting the cloth on your Cygnar.

She actually has some shading there (some of it is visible in the top left pic), but my usual problem with pics "burns" it out making it look like there is only white. Anyway, I admit I had some problems with white hairs, and how to shade them without them looking grey. I had remade the central pic. Do you think this is better then the original pic?

I guess it's a bit better. I feel like it would have been easier to just post the new photo alone rather than combine it with the others?

That is brilliant and hilarious! Great use of colour and nice work on the skin! Is there glitter on the present?

Not exactly glitter, but I have mixed a metallic paint to make it sort of glittery surface.
