I happened across this miniature while I was scrolling through Instagram hashtags one day. Unfortunately, there is no lore for the miniature. I usually put that here in my posts. Since there's no lore, I'll just explain some of the thinking that went into the model. First off, the main thing that got me was the pose. The knight pulling back to strike like this looks awesome, and it makes the painting a little easier to do as well. There isn't a lot that's hidden or hard to reach with a paintbrush, so it made the painting nice and quick.
The paint scheme itself was pretty much just a random idea I had a while ago. I'd been wanting to do something with a background, and I'd been wanting to paint something that moved away from realistic depictions of soldiers. Between those two wants, I decided to make it look like this guy was some kind of cosmic, space knight. I was quite pleased with the results. In fact, this was so fun to paint that I got another miniature from the same line in a different pose. Maybe one day I'll collect all of them.
