My cleric character Signe's spectral weapon is H O R S E. I wanted to make it look ✨️MAGIC✨️!

(Mini is Svadilfari from Artisan Guild)
Two miniatures are next to each other on a game map- one is depicting female dark elf in a fur cloak and viking inspired dress, the other is a horse with swirling designs and patterns thar appear to glow. The front half of the horse is brighter than the back. The spectral horse appears to be emerging from the dark (black) background of the lightbox The other side of the horse. This side has glowing patterns that follow the musculature of the horse. Fewer patterns are present on the darker side. The glowing horse in action on the table, fighting some bearfolk, also from Artisan Guild

Winnipeg's Yvonne Brill changed humanity's future in space when she invented the Electrothermal Hydrazine Thruster.
Her invention keeps satellites and spacecraft in orbit. She also worked on the Apollo program and the Space Shuttles.
This is her story.

Black and white portrait photograph of a middle-aged woman with short, wavy hair styled neatly to one side. She has a round face, is looking directly at the camera with a slight smile, and is wearing a light-colored sweater and a single strand of large, round beads as a necklace. The image appears to be a formal or professional headshot.

Do a gal a favour and hire her for painting some of your pile of shame.

She's really good!

This time of year really sucks for picking up commissions but even a single figure or squad commission would help me out massively, so dm me or send me and email for a quote.

Just looking back on the year of painted minis, here are some favorites! It was pretty fun and I think I'm getting better. I'm pretty sure that's always the case with any skill or craft, as long as you seek to improve! Happy New Year, have a great 2026, everyone!

Very responsible use of a printer. Absolutely necessary creation

I suppose like any good sword it needs a name. Any suggestions?

Last lunch break mini of the year, can we squeeze out one more? I think I used my shitty brush on primer instead of black paint on the base rim, it looks awful 😅
