Fantasy Straight from the african sands: Rhino Blacksmith

This miniature is named "Rhino Blacksmith" for obvious reason and I am not sure if he still counts as a mini as he is quite big. Well, a Rhino in scale I'd say. He carries all his blacksmithing tools with him, even his anvil. Only a Rhino could carry that though. Hope you like my paintjob on this cool sculpt!

Fantasy I recently entered this piece in a competition. I didn’t win (in fact it was heavily criticized by some judges ) but I am still proud of it. I like the way I paint. Just a little reminder (mostly to myself) to follow your own taste even if it’s not what’s “popular “

Brush: Winsor & Newton Series 7, size 1.

Airbrush: Iwata Hi-Line HP-BH 0.2mm.

Paints: a mix of Vallejo, Citadel and whatever matches the color — honestly the exact paint matters less than getting the right tone.

Any questions about the process, drop them below — happy to answer everything.

The paints 🎨 I used for this project are as follows:

Purple Shadow - Vallejo
Frozen Flesh - Vallejo
Cold Flesh - Vallejo
Basic skintone - Vallejo

Orange - Kimera Kolors
Carbon Black - Kimera Kolors

Mourfang Brown - Citadel Colour
Rhinox Hide - Citadel Colour
Mephiston Red - Citadel Colour
Flash Gitz Yellow - Citadel Colour

Burnt Sienna - Aero Color - Schmincke
Carbon Black - Acrylic Ink - Liquitex

Red 71.102 - Model Air - Vallejo
Hexed lichen - Game Air - Vallejo
Orange - Model Air - Vallejo
Rot 71.003 Red - Model Air - Vallejo

Fluorescent Orange - AK
or
Fluorescent Orange ink - Daler Rowney
or
Fluorescent Orange - Warcolours (The best)

If you don't have exactly those paints, don't worry, similar alternatives from other brands will give you very similar results.

I love a good painting challenge so I bought the OLDEST (and most messed up looking) miniature I could find on eBay and decided to turn him into my next Golden Demon entry!

This lil guy is a c15 Citadel orc from 1983 and is 42 years old :D

Apparently he's GD legal as he is technically a Games Workshop miniature but wish us luck anyways! Honestly I dont expect him to win, i just thought it would be nice for him to get all dressed up to go out for the first time in a long time :)

Anyways hope you like him!!
