Two copies of the same tabletop miniature, one facing the camera and one facing away.  On a red and yellow feathered dinosaur sits a rider in a gray axolotl onesie and a non-binary pride flag cape. They wear glasses, a messenger bag and sneaker shoes. In their left hand is an open sketchbook and in their right a green pencil. On top of their head sits a pigeon and there is a blÄhaj in front of the saddle.

A friend of mine loves dinosaurs, pigeons and their axolotl onesie so I made them a custom miniature as a gift (plus a second copy to keep for myself)

  • Model: based on a Heroforge mini but added the axolotl gills, pigeon, blahaj and messenger bag strap in blender
  • Printer: Elegoo Mars 4 Ultra
  • Resin: Ameralabs TGM-7
  • Paints: mostly Army Painter Fanatics plus a few Vallejo
  • Brushes: Da Vinci Colineo
  • Painting time: 8 hours or so for both combined? I lost track

Looking at the photo, I can see a bunch of spots that could be improved, especially around the arms and legs but in person they look fine.

I might decorate the bases in the future but right now I don't have the right materials.

Thanks! The blahaj was a last minute addition. I had been looking for something else, found this cool model and just knew I had to include it.
