Alright, so this one I’m starting because I have a feeling about the color that I want to do a Zombie Keeper (which may not be started for a little while yet!), but I wanted the opinions of other members before I make a solid decision.
Keep in mind that this dragon will likely have scars/wounds, and a bit of “blood” so pure red is out of the question for me 🙂

This one’s definitely going to take some planning though, I’m still not exactly sure how I’m going to do the wounds – painting them on seems the safest bet, but if I could find the right medium to build up on the sculpt in certain areas in order to create gashes, it could look cool.. I dont know! ><

Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!I think olive green would provide a nice contrast to blood and gore…. grey is my second choice. I don’t think the reddish brown would work… just my opinion.
Can’t wait to see!!!
I voted for olive green also. It seems to me that if you have a green dragon, and then a deceased green dragon, and then a buried-for-a-while-but-now-walking-around deceased green dragon, the original green color would have morphed into olive green. 😀
I think a zombie Keeper would totally rock! I would opt for a cloudy white eyes – like what you would see on a decomposing critter 😈 . I know you could find them here http://dreamingtreestudio.com/SpecialtyIrises2.html – along with a ton of other cool eyes. I haven’t used her eyes on any of my PYOs yet, but I know a few forum members have 😉 .
Yeah I ordered a couple of different options from her – Zombie 2 and Hollow both caught my eye (har har!) so I got them both 🙂 I figured it would be a lot easier than painting the entire dragon and realizing that the one pair I got didn’t work as well. Also, its so hard to picture how it will look when it’s done this far in advance! ><
It looks like gray and olive green are pretty close!

I voted ‘other’, but in a way I’m with everyone else here- I just think a greyish-green would work best for me. Mix a little grey in with the olive… :puke:
Alright, I started the Zombie Keeper! I gave it a gray base coat, and then did all of the colors that you see with drybrushing over it (except the black outline on the tail). I started by drybrushing green, then thought it didn’t have enough depth, so I added brown over it and then accents in blue. I put blue, green and gold interference lightly on all of those colors, gave it a matte topcoat in order to dull the metallics, and then decideded I wasn’t happy with the blue – it reminded me too much of camoflauge! So, I drybrushed a bit of violet over the blue and I really like the color combination now!
I still have a lot to go – he got a coat earlier of clear satin topcoat (oh my gosh the layers on this one! I didn’t realize he would be so much work ><) so I can antique him later tonight, and I'm still really unsure about whether I want to do gash markings on him or not – I just don't know if I could pull it off on the scales without it looking very painted on. I don't know, we'lll see! In any case – here are his colors!
(still waiting on the zombie eyes, so you get to look at creepy blank sockets!)Without flash (and more true to the colors that I see!)
With flash (to show where the colors are placed)
