Rhianna is based on Reaper Miniatures Avatar of Resilience I changed quite a bit about the miniature to fit the urban fantasy theme: New weapons, including a scratch-build pump gun, pants, leather straps across the chest and more.

I had lots of fun converting this mini and painting her was also a good, if challenging experience. Pink is not usually a colour I choose, but here it really works. I used Kimera Colours Magenta with a bit of The White as a base colour. That was crazy vibrant, so I desaturated it with some grey. For the shadows I mixed some Purple into the Magenta which really helped to make it pop. Finally, highlights were applied using a baby pink.

I had trouble getting the right look for the Juicy logo, but ended up using metallics for it. Micro dots failed and had to be painted over again.

The small labels and garbage were also a first. The labels are all freehands and distressed afterwards. The cigarettes are small styrene strips and the Pepsi can made from some aluminium foil.

So a few questions to spark discussion:

How do you go about sequin, glitter or fake 'crystals' on miniatures?

What is your favourite recipe for pink?

i like it

Thank you, glad you like it! I have a few more Avatars in my pile of inspiration and will make them in some urban mutants.

Great work, the details are just amazing! The stickers on the bat, the cigs and crumpled can, just brilliant!

I'm a little confused by the face though: it looks like there's some pink OSL? Is the bubblegum supposed to be glowing?

Btw: that looks like a break-barrel rather than a pump-gun...
