In fact, some years ago I had two models replicate it for me

Unfortunately one of these would eat up your budget significantly, being from selfridges, but…

But of all the minis I’ve painted so far (around 180 I think) from #MythicBattlesPantheon, #Poseidon is one of my favourites. It really expands the interpretation, and reflects the monstrousness of the god himself. And the sculpt is amazing.

#ttrpg #minipainting #tabletopgaming
Mini figure around 75mm tall of an aquatic monster, the lower half is made up of tentacles, which he’s walking on across a sandy beach. The upper body is humanoid but clearly amphibious, holding a trident View of mini figure behind and elevated to show more of the sandy base with waves on the edge to represent the shore

This felt like an achievement - I’ve now painted the 12 Olympian gods (no Hestia as yet) from the #tabletopgame #MythicBattlesPantheon, with varying degrees of success…

Just finished painting #Demeter, and really impressed with this mini.

Particularly as almost all the female characters in the rest of the #MythicBattlesPantheon are essentially very sexualised, while the male figures aren’t (not very Ancient Greek!).

Is… is this supposed to be an inspiring quote?

Babes, it’s a battle to not just run screaming into the wilderness every day.
Screen says “Failure is just a direct result of a collapse in self-discipline to do little things every day.”

I may have polished off nigh on a bottle of wine and decided to paint some minis. This is far from a good paint job, but I’m rather liking my accidental campiosity of Heracles’ attire here.
It’s a mini of the mighty Heracles, but he’s wearing his lion skin and skirty thing in pinkish tones

Was going to explain what was going on in my mind when I painted this, but… nah. I think it kind of speaks for itself.

What I like about most of my sessions with models is when it feels like I’m just hanging out with friends.

Certainly the case here with a #sketch based on a session with @drcarpineti.bsky.social and another friend.

I was going through a couple of sketchbooks this morning, and was reminded that last year I tried a master study of one of #JohnSingerSargent’s #malenude #watercolours.

It’s hardly a replica, but it was a rewarding challenge.i don’t know think I really need to
point out which is which.

For those following my #miniaturepainting, I’ve achieved something of a personal challenge goal. I’ve managed, in almost two months, to complete two boxes of #mythicbattlespantheon - the base game and Rise of the Titans.

Painting armies though… eesh.
