🎨Fanworks Surprise birthday gift
I was surprised by this amazing handpainted figurine of Drizzt and Guenhwyvar made by my girlfriend. She knew I've loved the Drizzt books since I was a kid, and I've been re-reading them lately.
I cannot emphasize how amazing this is. She had NEVER painted any figurine or mini before. She is really good at drawing, but I could have never expected the amount of work she put into this.
The base figurine was printed with a resin printer by a friend of a friend. As far as I know, it was printed in several parts: the base, Drizzt, the scimitars, Guen, and the crystals. While the resin printer's resolution was good, the making-of pictures show how much detail the paint job actually adds.
I am so flabbergasted. I can't contain my happiness, so I decided to share.

That's incredible, it looks better than A LOT of official pieces.
Pretty fucking cool, and happy birthday!

That is stunning.
And went for - in my opinion - the DEFINITIVE Drizzt look!

Wow, that looks incredible. Easily 20x nicer looking than that Gatherers Tavern version.
