Oh my goodness, this miniature by Wizkids is from their Pathfinder Deep Cuts line and was a blast to paint as well as a fantastic representation of the Pathfinder source drawing. The difference between the drawing and the miniature is the right hand in the drawing is in a fist and starting to gather in the power of a fireball while the miniature added a shield. Now let's talk about that shield - first, why would a Genie Efreeti need a shield and second (more importantly) look at the hand positioning - once you see it, it can't be unseen - the shield is useless with vertical hand positioning. I think Wizkids should have given us a clear plastic fireball in that hand instead. However, that's nitpicking and this is an amazing mini!
Painting of this miniature was streamed on Twitch and these videos will be available for about a week or so from this posting per Twitch policies:
