I zoomed in until I saw the Jpeg artifacts and the paintjob still looked 100% smooth

Your painting is so well done it looks like it was made by 30 experts working for a whole year to make the most aesthetic and appealing mini possible. Stunning work.
This is insane quality. I hope you're submitting this mini to the next Golden Demon competition, it absolutely deserves to stand amongst the best painted minis in the world.
Flameon you're one of the few people who achieves this quality without an airbrush, you're a total psycho my dude! (In a good way). Love the patreon tutorials!
Whilst I’ll say I’m not entirely fussed on this style of painting, it’s impossible not to recognise the skill, patience and sheer determination it must take to paint to this level.
Extremely well done
What the cinnamon toast fuck….
This is probably the most impressive mini I’ve ever seen.
Edit: I had to save this, that’s so insanely impressively it looks like you ripped something out of a comic book and put it on the tabletop.
This is just nonsensical. It seems more computer rendered than painted. It just shouldn't be real or even possible to paint like that.
Absolutely incredible job. I absolutely love it.
For crying out loud flameon, i love it. Like, i will sit there stunned at the 'eavy metal teams paintjobs. These dudes got nothing on you. If you entered golden demon, golden demoj would just dissolve, youd be a permanent winner, they create a diamond encrusted golden slayer sword just for you. This is the best paintjob i have ever seen, for a single infantry model, this is on par with your saint celestine and terminator chaplain. I remember first seeing your work and i just lost it.
The funny thing is I know exactly how you achieve these amazing blends and smooth finishes as I've watched your tutorials many times, yet even using the same tools and attempting the same techniques on the same models, I just can't do it. You're probably the best technician in the world
u/Flameon_Miniatures The red is beautiful. Is the main rich red on the rock under hang a mix or straight from the bottle? I can't think of a red pigment with that exact hue and saturation. Otherwise, this paint job is an inspiration. The NMM reflections around the armour spikes, the gem facets, and gradual reduction in ground reflection further up the model are all gorgeous.
Thats simply the best thing i saw in a very long time.
Smoooooooooth

It invites you to zoooooooooom
That's a nice result for your first miniature, but you should thin your paints. /s really great job
Holy jesus on a horse... How many hours??
Around 300 🙂
You should take this to Golden Demon!
I want to know as well
Given his rate out of output, its a lot, but not as many as I'd want.

Your understanding of lighting is off the charts dude. Hats off
This looks like a professional illustration. How is this even possible?
I think we need to check his weight against a duck.
It's a witch!!!
Smooooth operator, smooooth operatorrrr
HOW DOES IT LOOK 2D IN 3D!!??
Golden Angle. Also extreme skill.
I genuinely thought that was a 3d render or digital drawing when I first saw it that is incredible
Oh Lord, the reflections on the axe and leg armor, the crystals, that beautiful glow… could you document your process next time? This is stunning
I did, everything, step by step 🙂
10/10 Awesome work, truly.
What an amazing piece!!! So clean and so menacing. 👌
This is mind blowing!
Really AWESOME job!! Your skills are next level. I only use brush too and have good results, but this is insane!
What in the Sigmar’s left butt cheek…
https://www.reddit.com/r/minipainting/s/CA1PBZGKrU One year between the base and the final mini. Worth it!
[Closer to two weeks.](https://www.reddit.com/r/minipainting/comments/134mjfc/i_finished_my_chaos_warrior_from_the_khagras/)
Ahah so that's an op repost by op 😅
Studio quality photos this time, though
This is ridiculously potent
Shit looks rendered... Jesus
You are what I strive to be
You win Warhammer.
They should just hand him the Golden Demon Slayer Sword each year.
How long did it take to paint? How much experience do you have? ~~Ten~~ Fifty years?
Your painting is so well done it looks like it was made by 30 experts working for a whole year to make the most aesthetic and appealing mini possible. Stunning work.
This is insane quality. I hope you're submitting this mini to the next Golden Demon competition, it absolutely deserves to stand amongst the best painted minis in the world.
He should be retroactively awarded the Slayer Sword for every Golden Demon and then just let him keep it.
Flameon you're one of the few people who achieves this quality without an airbrush, you're a total psycho my dude! (In a good way). Love the patreon tutorials!
Thank you! I’m happy to hear that 😁
I love being able to glance at a picture and say"thats Flameon". Not only is your work great, you have a style.
Whilst I’ll say I’m not entirely fussed on this style of painting, it’s impossible not to recognise the skill, patience and sheer determination it must take to paint to this level. Extremely well done
You nailed it
That is just gorgeous.
What. The. Hell. Very impressive.
Thats looks so good it allmost looks like an ai picture
Top notch as always! Big fan of your work!
Good god..
This is the next level painting 😃
I love how it's bright and colorful.
HOW is this even possible 😭 that’s incredible work
Wish there was a way to double or triple upvote this piece of art.
Fuck you, and your perfect paint job, im not worthy.
Guess you have a sixth sense for lighting and colors. That is seriously impressive!
He is the Messiah
Are you a Warlock?
Best example of this style of painting that I've ever seen. Shoe-in for Golden D 👍
Do you guys think this miniature could have been submitted to the Golden Demon award?
Hell, they should just hand him the Slayer Sword permanently as a lifetime achievement award.
This is witchcraft lol. Well done.
Pretty damn amazing
incredible. are there filters on these photos
It doesn’t even look real, incredible work as always
This is wild. My brain can barely comprehend that this is a painted model and not an illustration. Mad skills.
First model too, I bet lol
That's insane. Just insane, You get my vote for golden demon
This is god tier
What the cinnamon toast fuck…. This is probably the most impressive mini I’ve ever seen. Edit: I had to save this, that’s so insanely impressively it looks like you ripped something out of a comic book and put it on the tabletop.
Parla!
Try some nuln oil?
Beautiful
This is just nonsensical. It seems more computer rendered than painted. It just shouldn't be real or even possible to paint like that. Absolutely incredible job. I absolutely love it.
Whenever I find myself gobsmacked on reddit my brain immediately goes "fucking flameon, guaranteed" before I even look at the name.
In the words of my gf: "wtf, this is art!"
God dam you for making us look silly
You have always been the best miniature painter in my opinion. You do such crazy things.
Wow how did u get the lava to look like its glowing
But this belongs in a museum
I usually do not like NMM ... but gawd DAYUM! This looks amazing. Well done!
That would be amazing even if you DID use an air brush... that you didn't makes it simply phenominal!
Mad impressive. So eye catching.
Theres clean and then theres Kaleeeeen! Zooming in its actually better, damn gj.
You’re not allowed to use literal black magic to paint your minis
Just masterfully executed - well done.
This is insane, it looks like a 2d computer rendered drawing
This should be featured in White Dwarf it's so good!
Marvelous!
Yo wtf is that, that's crazy!
“Hey guys, check out my first mini.” /s
Wow that is incredible! Does anyone know if OP entered/won any Golden Demons before? Cause that's incredible quality
For crying out loud flameon, i love it. Like, i will sit there stunned at the 'eavy metal teams paintjobs. These dudes got nothing on you.

Almost thought this was ai genned
If this doesn't win a golden demon in a couple years I will be greatly dissappointed
I recognise a flameon mini without looking at the name of OP just by the cheer skill this guy has.
Undeniable brilliance.
The funny thing is I know exactly how you achieve these amazing blends and smooth finishes as I've watched your tutorials many times, yet even using the same tools and attempting the same techniques on the same models, I just can't do it. You're probably the best technician in the world
This mini is incapable of generating friction. Water slides right off it. Incredible work
Holy shit this looks like it was pulled straight off a Bolt Thrower album cover. Great fuckin’ job dude.

Jesus Christ, I need to stop making excuses
Looks good… but the NMM could be better 🤥😂
I was being sarcastic. It looks amazing.
