Pretty pearl dragon and your griff looks great. Nice colors. Did you antique that one? Antiquing looks really well on the griffins.

Yes, I did a very messy antiquing job. Parts of it didn’t get antiqued, parts got way too much…it was a large scale experiment, but I still love him. 🙂

You have a bald eagle look on that griffin! And yes, it takes a while to get a hand at antiquing. I went with dry-brushing at first.

You did a grand job!

I love you dragon, his wings look really neat 🙂 I like how you did the little spots on the wings of your muse too! That was a cute idea 🙂

Well, my husband finally got tired of me asking him when he was going to paint his dragon, and he said I could paint it as long as I got him a replacement. So I spent all day yesterday – about 10 hours – working on this little guy. I put down a black base coat, and because I’m terrible at antiquing, I tried to paint every scale individually.

For the wings I used a piece of wire that I dipped in paint and dotted. I also used the wire for many of the other fine details, like the smaller swirls.

I chose colors that I loved, and ones that stood out to me against a black background. I went through after and drew in lines between scales so there would be that black contrast, but painting on the sealer made the black streak. I like the effect, but next time I think I’ll use a spray sealer. 😀

The sun washed out his colors a little bit – the white you see is actually metallic silver, and the dots on his arms and hands are a light blue.

So here he is! I’m not quite sure what to call him, so any suggestions would be welcome!

I may be wrong, but I think this is the first time I see a dragon with asymetrical colors on the belly and chest scales!

He’s very original. The first word that came to mind when I saw him: Bigarré!

I really like the horns 😀

Thank you! 😀 What does Bigarré mean?

I really like his face paint, horn and spotty wings! 😀

[Stephanie]

WOW! That is different! Looks pretty darn good! 😉

Very neat! 😀

Thank you everyone! He was so fun to paint.

I really like the color scheme! He reminds me of some Native American artwork I’ve seen!

Thanks! 😀 That’s what my husband said, actually.

I decided to call him Medicine Dragon, for that reason.

[purpledragonclaw]

Perfect name! I love it!

Oh he’s really cool! I LOVE those spots on the wing and the swirl on his hip-very creative!
