I did this for a friend, who I know likes black and red-orange. It came out a little bit like my lava pattern, just because of the way I did the scales, though it’s actually a totally different technique than the more time-consuming version that I use for the lava crackle effect.
Anyhow, I think he came out fairly well.
I think you did a great job on him. I could imagine his cave being located close to a lava pit inside some large mountain.
Yes, I would have to agree with the others. I love the green eyes and the black scales look very nice.
Splendid coloration! I love it more so than the griffin. You have got to do another like this and throw it up on ebay! It’s so wonderfully done.
O.o
That’s funny, because I think this guy is a sloppy mess! My lava griffin was carefully painted in every detail, took like a week of work. I did this guy in one day with a half-baked wet drybrushing thing that left messy edges everywhere!
Sometimes messy edged enchanse the realisim of a piece. I prefer to have some messy edged to speak to the hand-painted quality of who did it, rather than machine-perfection…though I do say I love good smooth blends. I don’t see issues with this dragon and although it may be faster and “sloppier” than your usual crackle lava styling, I still love it, better than the griffin version even which did take more time.
Interesting. Now I’m just going to HAVE to do the same lava technique on a dragon, to see if the reason it’s better is just because the scales suit it better, or because this way actually looks better. *grins* Excuse to buy another dragon!
You can’t go wrong with a Windstone! Especially since you’re so good at painting them anyway…if you didn’t like something 100% you could sell it and buy mre PYOs to try again.
