Blade Zero is done!

This was such a fun ride! I got to explore and practice so many materials and light interactions while setting this character into one of my favorite fictional settings.

It's a real joy painting such a lovely sculpt!

Photography of the miniature bust 'Blade ZERO', which I have been painting as a commission inbetween Dec 4th 2025 and July 1st 2026. The productive painting time should roughly clock in around 110-120 hours. (21 update posts, 42 sessions, 4 hour long streams per session, subtract twitch-related activities from those hours to get the rough active painting time) For the paintjob I went with a synthwave colorscheme as a baseline, with deep blue, purple and warm orange. The neutral tones for skin, hair and banners are a cold off-white, to draw the eye to the center and frame the face. The powerful green OSL lighting her up from behind and her right camme in later and serves as a sort of challenge and counterbalance to the warm saturated tones around her backpack headband and sleeve. I embraced the cyberpunk style sculpt and painted her eyes with reticule lenses, a cyberwear detail on the nose and thematic freehand for the Mox - all details referencing the game Cyberpunk 2077. The figure depicted is a sci-fi style assassin, posed in an attack-motion with two daggers in hand and flowing banners framing the torso and head. It is sold by Neko Galaxy under the name 'Blade ZERO'. Photography of the miniature bust 'Blade ZERO', which I have been painting as a commission inbetween Dec 4th 2025 and July 1st 2026.

Here are a few more images with a close-up of the face, top-down views and the angles that follow the light sourcs.

Close-up photo showing the finished paintjob I did on the 'Lilith' bust from PedroFernandez. It's painted mostly following imagined light sources around it, positioned at different angles and distances. The main one being a bright pink light coming in from above and her left, the second being a subtle blue, from the other side and from somewhat below and the third, a cold green from almost directly below her and close enought to wrap around to the backside. The pupil is a light teal, the teeth have yellow stains and there's a few nmm details on her right shoulder and a ring near her neck. There's also subtle leather teture on a few details, the biggest being the hip wrapping, which also has a pearl chain with little trinkets. It's photoghraphed on black background and there is a CryoCheese icon in the bottom left corner of the image.

Stippling does progress slowly.
Even more so when you're spinning wheels, doing silly little forfeits and rewards for charity.

So this final step of the Blade ZERO commission painting will just take a little longer :)

A collage of three work in progress photos of the miniature bust I'm currently painting for a commission. She's wearing a blue undershirt, a purple bolero, white hair, pale skin with black makeup as well as gree reticule shaped pupils on black eyeballs. There's also a small detail of Cyberpunk2077-inspired cyberware on the back of the nose and the metal details are painted in a very warm, orange-reading, non metal metallic, except for the knife, which is painted to look like sharp shiny steel. The holsters strapped on by plack belts, as well as the elbow pads are painted to resemble very worn out red leather, some of areas of them also being hit by the bright neon green object source light. The Pistols are painted in a bright steel with black leather details. The two fabric pieces attached to her backpack are stippled in grey and green with similarly stippled freehand in purple, magenta and blue tones. The figure depicted is a kind of futuristic assassin, posed in an attack-motion withtwo daggers. It is sold by Neko Galaxy with the name 'Blade ZERO'.

I got a lot done this week!

Among little things and glueing on the main arm I added some warm temperature "counterweight" bouncelights, to balance out the visual weight of the metal backpack and headdress.

Worked on the orange NMM this week and also finally drilled the hole, so I can now stick it on the plinth!

Quite happy with the hexagonal and slanted shape for it.

I spent all my painting time this week just refining the hair on Blade Zero.

Now it should properly read as white hair all around. Even in the shadows and under osl. 😅

"What do we do in the face of the inevitable?"

That is the question I wanted this piece to pose, after researching 'Entropy', which was the theme for the monthly challenge in January, run by the GitGud community. (go check them out!)

#miniature #miniaturebust #minipainting #violin #entropy
Photography of my paintjob on the 'Winter' bust, produced and sold by Ember MIniatures. It is heavily altered to better fit the monthly GitGud miniature painting challenge for january, which I entered this piece in. To visualize the challenges topic of 'Entropy' I sawed the assembled bust into many pieces and reassembled them with pins and superglue in a way that shows it breaking apart. The paintjob is done with caucasian skin, red hair, white fur and purple-blue dress, the violin has some red veins in the wood structure and there's four details that are entirely painted in gold TMM paint. The backdrop is different polygonal shapes made out of plasticard and painted in different colors and textures. Photography of my paintjob on the 'Winter' bust, produced and sold by Ember MIniatures.

Painted the same type of red leather holster under the two very different lighting scenarios and also improved some of the clothing osl highlights, especially on the hands.

She's got a face!
And cyberpunk style eyes and makeup.

It needs some adjustments tho. The lighting is inconsistent, idk about the colors yet and am still debating the lip color.
