Source for the model (Also not mine)

I painted it using a some Army Painter Speed paints, some Vallejo Paints, Apple barrel craft paint, and Rust-Oleum primer.

It’s not the best I’ve done but I’m still happy with how it came out.

EDIT: After some digging I was able to find the original art that was used for the stat block. Link

      Thank you

      I can only take credit for the paint job though, the model was made by the amazing designer MZ4250

        MZ4250 is a godsend to the DnD mini printing world. I discovered him a couple years ago. He’s made nearly, if not every, monster in the 5e monster manual and other sources. He’s even made some of the unique one off characters from specific adventures and a plethora of random, homebrew creatures. He just keeps pumping them out like the boss he is. His early stuff was really really rough, but he’s improved dramatically over time and he’s since gone back and made revisions to his early models. Everything he makes now is high poly, good detail, and prints incredibly well on a resin printer. And he gives them away completely free. Most of prints for my take are his models. Bless you, sir

          The amount of their models that hit my table is astounding

          Literally most of them are their models due to how consistent the quality is, especially when the models are presupported.

          I hope that they keep up the good work for a long long time

          You can get crazy details on resin printers for sure, but good models to start with make all the difference

            Yeah resin is basically easy mode, although post processing and resin costs certainly compensate. Can’t complain about MZ4250 models, they’re not all necessarily perfectly optimized, but the ones I’ve printed have generally come out well, and I’m on an Ender 3.

              This model is actually an example of one that I think could have been a bit better

              Specifically by having a version without the base included

              But for the price of Free it’s pretty hard to complain

              And yeah resin is easy mode for quality but hard mode for post processing, I’ve got both resin and filament printers and I basically use the resin printer for only miniatures due to post processing

              Edit: I’ve got about a decade of 3D modeling experience (CAD and Blender) so I could have done it myself but I usually will use people’s presupported files when available because I’d prefer to save the time it takes to properly support a model if I don’t have to. Honestly though I’m probably on a few prints away from starting an effort of removing bases from minis and uploading them as remixes. When licensing allows of course.
