Throwback climb up the Spire 🖌️✨
Painting these Slay the Spire board-game minis was a blast, but The Defect stole the show, both on the table and at the hobby desk. I experimented with glass-effect orbs for the first time and loved how the blues and highlights turned out.

Gotham’s guardian, in classic gray and blue. 🦇
My painted Batman from the Hush core box of DC Super Heroes United—cape highlights, bat-signal glow, and a touch of 90s nostalgia. Not the paint job he deserves, but the paint job he needs.

If they’re strong enough to control Big Blue, Ivy’s vines must be pretty wild. 🌿💥
Loved breaking out the @vallejocolors fluo paints for that blacklight pop - perfect for my unique (?) take on the Controlled Superman mini from the Hush box of DC Super Heroes United. ⚡🦸♂️

Making some sewer, lava, and docks bases for the TMNT chibis. Green stuff and Technical Effect paints in progress of drying… hopefully the water goes clear and the lava earth cracks like I expect it to.

I packed this model with Easter eggs for ALS awareness and in memory of my mom, Wendy ❤️
This hobby has given me a way to honor her and raise awareness, one mini at a time.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

If you’re a mini painter who’s just starting or one that’s practicing new methods or who is struggling in their hobby; you’re doing great!
Keep going. Keep practicing. Keep trying new things. If my first mini can show, we all get better.

💫 “I am no Jedi.” 💫
Ahsoka Tano is a former Jedi Padawan who left the Order to follow her own path. Known for her dual lightsabers and calm-but-deadly fighting style, she’s become one of the most skilled and independent heroes in the galaxy.

Every month I paint minis. In Sept, I’m also running one.
I’m running the Sola Hot Mini 5K (yes, it’s donut-themed 🍩, but I’m claiming it) for ALS research. My team (Wendy's Warriors) is running in honor of my mom, Wendy, who we lost to the disease in 2017. Each $ counts! Donate Here 👉 bit.ly/mini5k

When I was 16 Darth Maul was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. ❤️🖤
I even dressed up as him for Halloween, double-bladed lightsaber and all. So my first Shatterpoint mini had to be Maul. 🔥 I painted my first ever lightsaver, tried makeup sponges for the lighting and some glazing effects on the beams.

The chibi sculpt made it extra fun to exaggerate the color contrast and give him some real presence on the table.
Not the most complex model, but one of the most nostalgic. Who else grew up watching X-Men: The Animated Series and hearing that booming voice echo across time and space?

I am as far beyond mutants as they are beyond you.
Just wrapped up this Marvel United Apocalypse, and I had a blast leaning into that classic '90s cartoon vibe. I went full Saturday morning villain with bright pink energy coils and that iconic blue-and-silver armor.

🎬 Brought my Stature mini to life with a little AI magic 👣💥
Still one of the more fun (and weird) uses of AI I’ve seen! I know it’s controversial—but like it or not, it’s here to stay.

Back to the chibi fun 💀✨
Got Apocalypse from Marvel United: X-Men base coated in about 40 minutes. It’s not the most complex sculpt, but I’ve missed painting in this playful style. Feels good to mix in these quick, satisfying sessions alongside my more detailed projects.

Did I go overboard on the blood? …Nah, Vesemir’s seen worse. 😅🩸

I’ve been using my old-ass Canon Rebel T5i from 2013 to shoot my minis. I can only assume the “i” stands for internet, even though it has zero WiFi, Bluetooth, or any other conveniences. What it does have is a decent sensor and enough manual control to make my tiny plastic heroes look their best 1/x

🎶🌹 “Toss a rose to your bard…” 🌹🎶
Dandelion’s here to charm the courts and taverns alike in The Witcher: Path of Destiny. I leaned into the purples, golds, and a scattering of roses to match his flamboyant flair.
Would Dandelion sing a ballad about this paint job, or would he roast me in verse? 😆

Here’s my painted Doc Ock from Marvel Zombies—the non-zombie version, still scheming and smashing with those metal arms. The Vallejo umber wash really gives him that grimy, battle-tested look like he’s been crawling through the ruins of NYC

Hey there, multiverse weirdos. Name’s Morph. Used to be the class clown… now I’m the last laugh in a world gone to hell. Apocalypse broke the rules, so I broke my face into whatever shape gets the job done.

Closed out the Multiverse core box with Shuri in the Black Panther suit. I wasn’t super inspired by the mini at first, but I ended up enjoying the challenge of building up those “black” surfaces with careful layering of grays.
