The Story & Process
This Showcase commission began with a simple request: Kairos Fateweaver without his traditional pink wings. With the client's approval, we explored Tzeentch's themes of mutation and magic through extensive conversion work.
We added a third arm from the Lord of Change kit, sculpting additional musculature to blend it naturally. Floating spellbooks, twisted brass-wire lightning and a magical fireball incorporating Brimstone Horrors brought movement and energy to the miniature.
For the painting, we chose vibrant red wings, using airbrushed colour transitions before Sunny painstakingly painted individual feather textures by hand. This technique was extended across the body to unify the miniature, complemented by true metallic metals, gemstones, handwritten spellbooks and object source lighting.
The result was one of our most ambitious Showcase commissions, combining extensive conversion work with intricate freehand painting.
