Oooo that Ki-Rin is looking good. Love the colors.

Thanks, I almost wish you could get a choice on the colour of the horn. A silver one would have worked nicely.

The only way I’ve found to get the scales to be flat is to start with a smaller brush to get them coated. I usually do more than one coat. Then once they are dry go back over them with a larger flat brush like this one.

It sometimes can take a few layers, but it seems to work for me.

[Jasmine]

I’ll try that, thanks. WindstoneCollector also suggested that I thin my paint down more than I do now.

[Pegasi1978]

I forgot to mention that brush is 1/4″ wide. 😆 I use it on all the scales, not just the large belly scales.

Wow, the antiquing really looks stunning! I liked her before, but she looks ever better now! And I love the colors on the new Kirin, she really looks wonderful!

[Maria]

I don’t know how I missed this thread, but I really like that kirin.

That kirin is delicious!

The wolf is looking great too! 😀

Delicious? You wanna eat it? 😆 It does look nice, Jasmine. And the wolf is breathtaking! Are you going to sell them or keep them?

Thanks guys. I don’t think these two are quite nice enough to sell. I’m still perfecting my techniques. But I’m slowly getting there. 😆

I use that size brush at all times on the belly scales. 😀 Side scales, I undercoat with a darker color than what I will be ending with and then thinly brush the paint over them in may layers until I get a flat look. I think I did pretty good on Kujacker’s Ki-Rin, but it took me a couple to figure out what worked best for me. 😉 So, my best advice is, take what you need from all the advice and eventually you will figure out what works best for you. 😀

If you do that, you’ll be painting for a long long time (Not to mention the houseful of PYO’s you’ll have! 😆 )

But that Ki-Rin is gorgeous! 😀

[Jasmine]

Okay, I at least want to get to the point when I won’t wince when I see one of my pieces in someone’s pics. 😆

And yeah, I think my niece and nephew are going to have a whole collection once I fill up my house. 😉

[WindstoneCollector]

😆
If I let my son keep the ones he likes…He’d have a room full of them too. And, I’d never get them sent to anyone! 😀

[Jasmine]

My newest dragon, unfortunately you can’t see the shimmers of green that he has, it’s a cloudy day. 🙄 He has interference colours and he has a thin layer of pearl on top.

With flash:

No flash:

Tried to take a close up to see if I can catch the green:
