Black Dragon WIP

Like the land raider, the black dragon does not fit in the photochamber which is why these pics aren't that great. But, bad pics or not, the black dragon deserves an update.

For the skin, I began with a dark turquoise and brought it up with a final of camo green. It still needs a black wash, but I hope it gives it a 'lizardy' feel.

The pointy scales were done in the same purple as the throne and dreadlord, to tie them together. His gums and tongue were done in a much lighter, fleshy, purple.

The one catch, so far, is the horns. I have a couple of ideas, though I would run them past the blogosphere:
-Dark brown, lighter at the tips.
-Bone, like the skulls on the riders.
-Midnight blue, to bridge the existing colors.
Comments appreciated! Be well, and keep painting!

A Chair for Really Mean Elves

Thought I would post an update on the black dragon that has been terrorizing the project table of late. The throne is finished and ready for sitting.

You might notice the pin sticking up from the seat, looks uncomfortable don't it? Luckily, minis aren't real people and therefore don' have real feelings! The pin also proceeds out the bottom (currently into the Cork of Holding). Due to this mighty pin; the throne can accommodate either rider, or not be used at all.

The throne also got a crossbow so that whomever is riding can still take a couple shots at the peasants below.

So far, so good....
Until next round, be well (unless I tap my Time Elemental).

Black Dragon - Dreadlord WIP

The newest commission project has begun, and this time it is a black dragon of those not-nice elves. It has been built so that the riders (a Dreadlord and Sorceress) may be swapped, or be used unmounted. It was simply putting a pint in the chair poking out both sides and drilling corresponding holes.

This is the progress so far, the Dreadlord and a start on the throne. Purple was chosen as the primary color, with a lean towards the standard colors. So I stared at the box for a bit, and noticed how the metal was two-toned, which I like. I painted the metal like normal (boltgun/chainmail/mithril) then washed it with asyumen and a "spot" wash of ogryn flesh.

As the third color I chose a turquoise, and attempted to make it flow into the purple. So far, so good (I think...)
Until next round...
