Yeah, agreed, both look great. I probably would have gone with black if I didn't already have this AM one, which almost looks black. I'm undecided on the shot out torso.

One thing that always bothered me about my Besta setup, is the blank white space/side you see to the left of the Kerrigan/Diablo displays. So I recently got some art printed, and used these frames. I think it's a good solution.

That is one of the better images i have seen of the H.M.O. Nariko 1/4
I very nearly picked up Nariko for a great price. I passed in the end. I wished H.M.O. had painted the skin tone darker.

She was customized, but I don't think I painted her skin. I don't even remember at this point.

I've always wanted to recreate my Nariko's face. Great work and thanks for the reminder.

Thanks, of course I can't take personal credit for the work. But we had a lot of discussion when we did it.... ultimately, at least IMO, the sculpt isn't really true to the game. It's more just a lovely realistic representation of her, and so that's the approach we took with the face.

When I saw the statue, I didn't know Nariko. I just wanted the statue. When I unpacked it, I broke a strand of hair. I put it back on and that was the start of my hobby: painting statues.
