Verko's Spotlight – Today's featured work from the collection is "Green Fairy," painted by Aythami Alonso as box art for Indaco Model . We hosted Aythami here at Verko's Vault recently as a workshop instructor, and this piece is a good reminder of why. The bust was sculpted by Ivan Mata , based on an original illustration by Maria Dimova

Aythami is known for his handling of subtle reflected light and rim lighting, and "Green Fairy" is a clean example of it. Look at the edge lighting along the jaw, collarbone and shoulder: a cool turquoise glow that reads like light bouncing off a forest canopy rather than a single hard source. It never fights the warm gold undertone of the skin, and instead, slides into it.

At the hairline, he carried skin-tone color up over the sculpted hair on the front, softening the sculpted edge into something closer to fine hairs with a faint see-through quality, so the hair reads as growing out of the scalp rather than sitting on top of it.

Ivan Mata's sculpt gives Aythami plenty to work with: the floral crown woven directly into the hairline, the elongated ears, and a bust silhouette that carries Maria Dimova's illustration into three dimensions without losing its illustrative feel, which is not a given when a 2D artwork gets sculpted.

"Green Fairy" is one of thousands of works visitors will be able to see in person when Verko's Vault Museum of Fantasy Miniatures opens in Las Vegas on October 8, 2026. The collection spans fantasy miniature art from around the world: busts, full figures, dioramas, vignettes, collectible statues and more.

A big thank you to Michal for sharing his knowledge and experience with us, and to everyone who joined us for the weekend! La'Vanya the Volcanic Mermaid is also available from the Verko's Vault store for anyone who would like to paint their own: store.verkosvault.com

Thank you to Michal for sharing his knowledge and experience with us, and to everyone who joined us for another great weekend of painting! During their time at the Vault, participants also had the chance to explore our work-in-progress museum exhibit and visit our physical retail store.
