Iris the Luminary Bust by The Witchguild

She has watched kingdoms rise and crumble from behind that calm, unreadable gaze — and she has never once felt the need to explain herself to anyone.

• ✔ Large-scale display bust — significantly bigger than standard 32mm
• ✔ Resin printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted — ideal as a centrepiece painting project
• ✔ Designed for display shelves and painting competitions

Iris the Luminary is a collector's bust of commanding presence. Her hooded cowl, edged in ornate scrollwork and pinned with a crescent moon sigil at the brow, frames a face of quiet authority — pointed ears half-visible beneath the fabric, long braided hair cascading over layered robes. A richly detailed pauldron rises at her shoulder, its feathered or scaled surface catching every nuance of paint. The decorative plinth she rests upon is carved with interlocking Celtic knotwork, giving the whole piece the gravitas of something excavated from an ancient treasury rather than placed on a shelf.

Designed as a display bust rather than a combat miniature, Iris rewards patient painters and careful collectors in equal measure. Every fold of cloth, every engraved border, every strand of braided hair is a canvas waiting for the right brush. She reads equally well as a high elf luminary, a half-elf oracle, a patron of arcane knowledge, or the face of a sorcerer whose calm conceals something far older and stranger than anyone at the table has yet realised.

Well-suited to adventurers who:

• Enjoy display busts as centrepiece painting projects
• Want a striking figure for a shelf, cabinet, or gaming den
• Are building a fantasy bust collection with genuine character
• Need a face for a campaign NPC — a mysterious patron, a council elder, or a figure whose loyalties are never quite clear
• Play or DM campaigns featuring elven courts, arcane institutions, or morally ambiguous luminaries

Encounter Hook:
The party has been summoned — not asked, summoned — to the private chambers of Iris the Luminary. No reason was given. When they arrive, she is already watching the door, as though she knew exactly how long it would take them to find her. She speaks first: "I know what you did at the Ashfeld Crossing. I also know what you didn't do. Sit down." The session just got a great deal more interesting.

Iris the Luminary is a display bust, scaled and sculpted for painting and collection rather than tabletop play. The piece sits on a decorative knotwork plinth as shown. Printed to a high level of detail; support marks are removed as standard, though minor surface variation is inherent to the process and can be smoothed prior to painting.
