I was really surprised at how much medieval art there is of this! I’ve also never seen mention of Phyllis outside this story so I think she’s made up

Happy #MedievalMonday friends! I know it's been a bit since I've released any #miniatures but I've been working on this one for a bit and finally got the chance to print test it the other day. Link below - get it now! #minipainting #3Dprinting
Render of a miniature depicting Phyllis, wife of Alexander the Great, riding the philosopher Aristotle like a horse. He wears a bridle in his mouth and she holds a flogger in her hand, grinning at him sadistically.

I messed up the scale first time printing this one but my supports were fine so I guess I’ll be releasing it in 25mm scale as well as 32mm
#miniatures #medievalmarginalia #minipainting
Two unpainted 3d printed miniatures, 32mm and ~25mm scale, each of Phyllis riding Aristotle like a horse

People ask me a lot if I’ve read Redwall (probably because of the bunnies) so I did! And I really liked it, except that there’s not even an implied sense of scale. How big are the animals compared to each other? How big are the buildings compared to the animals?
