I really am waiting for the dragons to get released with green and amber eyes, so I found myself limited to painting this little guy in blues, purples, and greens to match the eye, since going with my original autumn color scheme just would clash too much with that eye. I did adore Nam’s “Seafoam” dragon and I honestly didn’t plan on getting it to look similar, but I think we were using the same color spectrum of paints here or something because once I set on the sea green it just instantly reminded me of Nam’s.
I plan to get better photos of this tomorrow. I never know how these look until I post them on the computer; but in person it’s just awesoneness…and then on the computer it’s a camera fart of Pfffft.

The horns and all claw and bacl acents are silver, not gold…though it looks weird in the photos and shows the colors a bit darker than they ought to be…but you all have heard my camera rants before. Sometime this year I plan to paint about a dozen or so PYOs and buy myself a $400 or so camera so I can get decent shots again. (The best part is, it’s a business expense!) Anyway, I do love this dragon, but then I love most everything I paint and have a hard time parting with it.
These photos you’ve been showing us seem to do just fine. The horns look silver if you look at them right. He’s a pretty little dragonling either way.
When I lived at home with my grandfather before I got married I had a fairly high-end camera. Unfortunately due to my getting married and some of the bad blood that insued, I couldn’t take my camera with me so have to settle for my hubby’s $100 thing. I had gotten used to capturing true color and true quality on my other camera and can’t handle this one at all, though I’m glad you can at least grasp the essense of the colors, lol. Ok, maybe I’m too harsh but I take my art very seriously, and showing it for it’s true quality is what I’m all about. Otherwise, if you don’t show your art and full 100% quality or close-to, what’s the point of doing it?
That’s a point. But, you can hate your camera and we’ll still see good pictures of your work come from it.
Lovely! I love the blending of the colors on thins guy. The only color that is similar to Nams is the color on the wings and chest. The actuall finished product is totally different. I like it alot. Well done, as usual.
I re-photographed after applying the sheen. I don’t usually like to take photos after doing that because of light issues but this particular sculpt looks better photographed now than before: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/45676903/
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/45676777/That is a nice dragon. I think it totaly looks different from Nam’s seafoam one.
The first pic in here makes the dragon evil just because of the shadow on the eyes. lol
