The mini itself if an Athena bust from @blackcrowminiatures When I originally saw the mini painted by Arnau Lazaro I instantly fell in love. I knew I have to paint it some day.

Here I tried many new things. Namely a facial expression changed by painting, based on a great workshop conducted by Natalia Oracz at Kontrast painting festival and many usefull tips on a discord (thank you!), freehanded full NMM shield, under some directions of @connorseanery (thank you!), general lights/shadows/ambience constantly feedback loop from a group of friends (THANK YOU ALL!).
