This is my paint job on Yasashii’s “Mind Flayer / Illithid Tabletop Miniature” from Thingiverse.

This was one of the first prints off of my resin printer, and the first piece I attempted air brushing; to make both of these a little easier, I scaled him up a bit, so he isn’t quite “tabletop minature” scale, but still much smaller than what I’d been used to painting (~70mm tall).

Everything except for the red eyes and purple highlights on the armor was done with a 0.3mm airbrush.

Here are a couple different angles:

Unfortunately one of the robe dangly bits snapped off the back before I could start painting. I didn’t expect the paint job to turn out this decent so I didn’t bother reprinting, kinda wish I had.

Thanks, yeah it’s really only noticeable under direct lights like in the photos. Otherwise it blends in the with muted purples.
