And here is my finished "Palace of Medusa" based on the artwork of the same name by @patrickjjonesillustrator sculpted by the team @mindwork.studio I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it! Painting this was quite possibly the most work I have ever done on a piece, with numerous layers going into each element and glazing to try to get as much depth as I could without making it look overdone. I loved the original and wanted to show it while amplifying the colour so it could be seen at its smaller scale, which proved to be quite challenging! I really hope you enjoy this piece as much as I do and I also hope that it might get some sort of achievement at the @qld_model_hobbies_expo in August, so if you are in the Brisbane area and are attending the event you can see this amazing piece as well as some of my other works in person!

Hey there party people! Here we have the simplified bust of Mary Reed from @scale75 which was a bonus from their recent Kickstarter, this was possibly the smallest bust I have worked on being 1:12 scale I went all in on this as I would like to enter it in to @qld_model_hobbies_expo in August! This one was base painted with @monument_hobbies Pro Acryl paints and the rest done soley in @scale75 paints and inks. What does everyone think? Do I stand any chance whatsoever?

I completely forgot to post this one! Here is the fairy/fae from a little while back, this one was a lot of new stuff to me, working out how to get the feathers right and then the reflections of light, and making the fairy look supernatural but not enough to have it look out of place, incorporating the actual piece of branch and then making the branch of the sculpt fit in and look the same, I hope everyone likes it!!!

It is finally finished! @michael_kontraros_collectibles Teutonic Knight of the order of Cthulhu!

Hey everyone, just wanted to share some exciting news with my followers. @DM.Stash is currently running a Kickstarter campaign for their incredible Greywind's Guide To Therador. This massive 5e compatible world spans three sagas and has only 17 days left in the campaign. As someone who was lucky enough to paint some of the figures for this campaign, I can attest to the amazing quality of DM Stash's work. With 130 beautifully sculpted figures, their minis are some of the most diverse and dynamic I've seen. In fact, I was so impressed that I became a patron of theirs a couple of years ago. It's also great to see such talent coming out of Brisbane and the Gold Coast, which is a boon for the Australian scene. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to explore Therador with DM Stash!

The next piece from a commission set for the team over at @dm.stash! Here is Gwynevel from the "Guardians of the Fey" Bundle, This one has a lot of elements that you have to bring together for it to work, there are vines everywhere! But they can't just be green or it would overcrowd it and not too much brown because it would be too flat, I also wanted to do the batches of flowers different colours to encompass the 'whole of nature' I think so far this one is my favourite! What do you think? Printed on the @phrozen3d Sonic Mighty 8k, using Phrozen 8k gray washable painted with @monument_hobbies Pro Acryl, @scale75, @citadel_paints and @vallejocolors with @chronicle_cards kolinsky sable @rosemarybrushes red dot synthetic brushes airbrush the @harderairbrush 'Squidmar' Evolution Model by @dm.stash Remember if you like what you see and would like to help me continue creating content you can always buy me a Ko-Fi! https://ko-fi.com/criticalpaint All my links are in the BIO! #CriticalPaint #OzPainters #ShareTheHobbyLove #InstaArtist #instagram #Painting #MiniaturePainting #Miniature #Hobby #PaintingMiniatures #Follow #Best4Minis #ArtistOnInstagram #Brushforhire #Commissionsopen #Commission #Commissionpainting #WarGaming #Tabletop #TabletopGames #Boardgames #3D #3DPrinting #3DPrint #3DPrinter #Resin #DIY #Ko-Fi #affiliate (at Wellington Point, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl5YwSryDv_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wow, I'm super stoked at how well this little project is going! Each element is slowly coming together, I just need to do the finishing touches on the mini then I can finish the base and plinth!

Finished the next entry for the 'Mini of the Month' at #warhammermtgravatt These little plague rats are from the Age of Sigmar Boardgame 'Cursed city' I wanted to make them a bit unappealing so there is some toxic green goo that they are running through, I also made the wounds and pustules look a bit more gross! It has been a fun little distraction emphasis on the little! I am very interested to see what everyone thinks?

The last piece from a commission set for the team over at @dm.stash! Here is Steampunk Barbarian Artificer Eyrik from the "Fire & Fey" Bundle, now this guy is cool! Even without paint! I don't think I have ever thought of a Barbarian Artificer before, the biggest thing with this guy is trying to incorporate Steampunk, Engineer, Barbarian, and Artificer! He had to be leather clad with lots of copper and brass but also grimy like he doesn't mind getting his hands ( and claw…) dirty! The finished product certainly looks like someone you wouldn't want to cross but also have on your side in a fight! I kind of see a bit of myself in this one! Let me know what you think in the comments below. I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have!

The next piece from a commission set for the team over at @dm.stash! Here is Kelathar The Immortal from the "Denizens of Duskweave" Bundle, The reference art for this was pretty self-explanatory ig dead rotting purple robes and evil green magic… I think I ticked all the boxes??

The next piece from a commission set for the team over at @dm.stash! Here is Duke Strauss from the "Blood from Stone" Bundle, This guy was the most fun but also hard, all the tiny little detail everywhere on this one! And the face! You may not be able to tell, but the head on this model is roughly half the size of a space marine head. It's crazy how much detail these models have for their size! What do you think?
