A photo of a 25 mm Dungeons and Dragons miniature, from Reaper Miniatures. It's a demon warlock, dressed in bright red robes and leather armor. His left arm is a golden prosthetic, and holds his skeletal staff. His other arm reaches into the sky, and lines up with the sun in the background, creating the illusion of flaming magic dancing in his hand. The rest of the background and environment is filled by blurry pine trees.

I finished up my third DnD miniature! The image is slightly edited to change the hues of the sun and the shadows at the bottom, but nothing about the character's paint job was changed.

The miniature is from Reaper Miniatures, named "Vatanis, the Maggotcrown Warlock," and was sculpted by Bobby Jackson.

Notes about the paint job and photography process are under the cut! Critique is always welcome!

Notes:

I don't know if there is any official color palette for this character, I just decided to use one inspired by the character Lucio's, from the game The Arcana, mainly his red jacket/cape, and golden details and arm.

The lighting, aside from the slight change of hue under the main light source and along the sun rays, is entirely natural. I finished this model in less than a day to make sure I could take advantage of the setting sun. The unedited version of this is up on my Instagram.

Once I'm sure I won't take any more pictures of him, I'll paint his base black. Originally it was kept grey to blend into the rocks I thought I was going to use as an environment before I got this shot.

This was taken on my iPhone, and edited with Clip Studio Paint. When it comes to mini paints, I have no form of brand loyalty, and used a mix of Army Painter paints and washes, then a couple Citadel technical shades.
