I painted it using a some Army Painter Speed paints, some Vallejo Paints, Apple barrel craft paint, and Rust-Oleum primer.

It's not the best I've done but I'm still happy with how it came out.

EDIT: After some digging I was able to find the original art that was used for the stat block. Link

Apparently it's named after the deviantArt profile where the person that first made the statblock saw the art that inspired it. Which I kinda love. The artist in question is Finnish, so assuming that her name is pronounced roughly in line with Finnish standards I'd guess it's something like /'kipiˌne/, or KEE-pee-nay with a strong stress on the first syllable and a secondary stress on the third syllable. Although this comes with a hefty disclaimer that I can't speak Finnish and my knowledge of its pronunciation is basically limited to the influence of watching the WRC when I was young, listening to Finnish metal bands, and being afraid of every name in Noita

I never expected such a complete answer. Thank you.

Thank you for the pronunciation guide

I was pronouncing it Ki-Pine, the "ki" like "kick" and "pine" like the tree.

I only recently found the source thread for the stat block and I'll be adding it to the post when I get back to my PC as the OP for the stats should get proper credit for their work.

Edit: I just noticed that the stat link I shared also links back to the OG reddit thread for the creator. I'm happy to see that for sure.
