I really like historical miniatures, but during shows you can feel the disregard amd lack of excitement for them because of old stereotypical views of what is and what is not 'a historical painting'. I think it hurts the hobby and I hope that younger painters will come back and fight for more modern approach to historical minis.

Nevertheless, this is Samo from @zabaart_ with little pup from @animal_den_miniatures and I wanted to show a moment of decision.

I am quite happy with this piece. The scene to me feels coherent, the colours are quite desaturated and muted and I think/hope that the story is clear. The one thing I am not super fan of is the fur.

The whole piece was painted with oils, except for the wolf pup. And I am quite happy with the textures but the clarity and precision could be better. But it is slowly getting better.

Hope you are painting and are drinking enough water.
