Reaper 02060: Onastaa

I started and completed Onastaa (made by Reaper Miniatures, catalog number 02060) in April 2020.  Ever since the Reaper MSP Bones paints came out, I had wanted to use one of the greenish blues as a basecoat.  With Onastaa, I got my chance.  I believe this is one of my best miniatures to date.

This mini also represents other firsts:

• This was the first time I applied lessons from Reaper Miniature's Toolbox and Pro Tips Twitch streams.  In particular, the core of her skin tone and using Reaper MSP 09078 Surf Aqua as a highlight for her dress came from those streams.
• This was the first time I seriously used color references.  Her hair colors were matched first to a piece of 2D art and then to a picture in The Atlas of Beauty.  The colors for the head of her staff were matched to a picture of a golden Egyptian artifact.
