Shadows of Brimstone Cowgirl. She won 3rd place in the Heroes category at DiceFest 2025. I’m most proud of the freehand on her shirt and bandana, although I think I spent more time on the leather. #miniaturepainting #cowgirl #shadowsofbrimstone #minipainting #flyingfrogs #dicefest

I decided to try Roman Lappat’s “paint using only complementary colors” exercise as a speedpaint on the Reaper Mini. Fun stuff, especially the murky shades that come out of orange/blue blends! #miniaturepainting #reaperminiatures #romanlappat #minipainting #scarecrow #colortheory #paintchallenge
