More work on "A Moment's Rest" from Nerikson Miniatures. I need to render the NMM on the medallions on her belt, the shield that will be attached on the base, and the pot on the fire. I'd like to make it into a late winter/early spring with snow still on the ground but mud on her boots and clothing. C&C welcome.

I worked on the base for "A Moments Rest" on last night's stream. The backpack & canvas bedroll I'm calling done for now. Started adding colors to the ground, old tree, helmet, sword, & campfire. A lot more to do on the base & the figure still.

Archangel Avacyn from WizKids Magic: The Gathering line of figures. I didn't paint her the same as the Magic card as I will be using her in a new D&D campaign I'm writing.

WIP pics of "A Moments Rest" from Nerikson Miniatures. Another 2.5 hours spent on her last night. This is the 75mm version. So much more to do on it. I've barely touched the base elements. But I've got until February to get her done.
