I like to paint miniatures for my friends. I choose a mini, paint it and then send to one of my friends.
What do I do for my friends who happen to be couples?
I paint two.
Tag Team Fantasy: Hansel and Gretel aka the fantasy police squad
There's a part of truth in every fairy tale... They origin from true events, but a tale gets changed, twisted and modified every time it is told. Take the Grimms' tale of Hansel and Gretel as an example.
They were brother and sister indeed, but while they were small they sure weren't children. The hag was not old and ugly, quite the opposite. But, she ate children, it was proven beyond any doubt. The wood was not as dark as Brothers Grimm say; Hansel and Gretel were not lost there, but were searching for the hag hideout, as this was their assignment. Finally, they did not use any tricks to fool the hag into the oven. Instead, Hansel put a crossbow belt straight through her chest and Gretel chopped her head off. Then, just in case, they indeed burned her body.
Tag Team SF: Hansel and Gretel 40K years later
The story of these two is very similar to the previous one. Replace the dwarfs with grymns (same names though!), forest witch with an alien ravaging some spaceship, substitute guns for medieval weapon and there you go!
Fantasy Tag Teams was made of Red Box Games miniatures sculpted by very talented Tre Manor; SF Tag Team are Hasslefree grymns sculpted by equally skilled Kev White.

Miniature Which Does Not Exist
This is a wolf. It's big and most probably bad. A big, bad wolf. Some time ago I'd been asked by MaxMini to paint it for them.
So I did.
It has never been released. You can't buy it. You can't find it on E-bay. No second hand copies. What you see is the only painted version of this model in the world.
Do you still think your limited miniature sold in 1000, 500, 100 or even 10 copies is really limited?

Stormwing
There is a kingdom in the far north. Its borders are marked with bones and skulls covered with snow, land is empty and devoid of all life, as no live being is welcome there by its ruler.
Some call him Stormwing, as he rides the wind, some call him Coldblooded, as he's never shown any sign of mercy.
Some of the northern tribes worship him, some try to fight him. All - fear him, as he is the true and only master of the land of ice and snow.
