The dirt...
Oh, and for those of you who want more details about the birth of these two ladies, here's the dirt:
• The face of Ivanka was inspired by Angelina Jolie, while her pose comes partly from a Sin City publicity still of Jessica Alba.
• The phrase embroidered on Ivanka's coat is written in Serbian, in Cyrillic characters, and it states her motto: "Strike while the iron is hot".
• We spent some time perfecting the smirk on Asharah's face. We wanted her to express her amused arrogance, something like: "Yes, go ahead, make my day!". We're pretty happy with it.
• The heavy guns of the two ladies sport round magazines, inspired by the old Thompson machine guns from Al Capone's days.
• Ivanka's cap is inspired from the Napoleonic Hussards and the 20th century Polish officers' caps.
• Ivanka's last name is based on a famous, very hard to kill, movie character from the 80's. I'm sure you can figure out who he is…


Comments
Since I have the feeling my post was a little bit to much on the negative side I want to add I like the rest very much. Good, today I think skirts are looking a little bit pubertal on warrior woman, I really like the whole style of it very much, especially the coat. Also, the whole russian/slavic side on Ivanka is a great plus and you did really well here. You made a good job on the background here (also the name).
Same for SF Asharah. That’s why I bought both of them, even though nearly no women in history ever wore a two bulged armor :P).

I like the figurines, even though I don’t think the faces are so good. They’re looking very average if not horse-like because the lower part is looking to much out and also the cheeks are way to defined.
I think this is a problem with most tabletop females. The horse-faces are looking okay without color but with.. no sorry, they aren’t very beautiful. I would love to see some different approaches.
