Gotta say it. It looked great until you added the flat light grey on the horn, wing spikes, etc. It clashes too much with the reflective vibrant red and metallics. Re nuln oil up those bad boys and the whole beautiful package will come together.
Looks great my man! Congratulations on that project from start to finish. PS- Have you ever tried Liquid Green Stuff?? May be worth a check :) -GM Atank
Yes I have many times, but I still don't have a lot of success with it... I think for whatever reason, I just don't like spending time fixing minis with green-stuff and putty...
@@GMAtank Thanks, I also stuck my word fumbling in there as a blooper in the last 10s of the video, cause you're not alone there haha... I turn on the camera then forget how to talk it seems.
rruuurrrrrrrrrrr. Came out bloody cool. It does have a subtle shiny sheen to 'im like we dragons have. Nicely done! Gold underbody is a nice touch, and yea... anything gold is better appreciated in real life. Glad your experiments worked out in the end; hopefully your campaign buddies appreciated it, if not, they just have no draconic appreciation and deserve any fire they got >>:=p
Color shift!!! The dragon is 😎🤯💯🧙 I just started getting into this stuff! Adds a new level to painting! I just finished redoing a bird bath for my Mom. It was one of the last things my Dad bought for her. ( He's moved on to the great beyond a short time ago) I filled in all the little pits, cracks and damaged areas, painted the vines with 3 greens, the roses with 2reds and some color shift, then painted the bowl with red/purple, green/ blue color shift paints, then a very thin layer of gold paint. After that I painted the rest of it in white and gold marble. High gloss clear coat after that. Love the color shifting paints!!
Thanks a lot. It's cray for me to think someone is looking forward to my video now wow, humbling. There will definitely be a video of how this goes in the future, but its going to be a few months away.
I ran across this a couple years after you posted--it's a huge help for me working on a red dragon I'm in the midst of. You gave me some great ideas. Thank you!
That's an awesome Dragon Troy, it really came out well. I used the same Vallejo and FW on my Skeletons. I never thought of mixing them though definitely worth a try. You mentioned some spikes breaking, do you think that there might be a more forgiving resin available?
Thanks, yes there are resin that are more flexible, I also over cured the mini a little making it a little more brittle as well.. however, the paint hides the few broken spikes.
Troy: It's not gonna win any awards My ancient red dragon is hand painted with cheap reaper crap and no skills Me: Its ok girl, god tier airbrusher cant hurt your feelings anymore
This man me laugh... I think it's impostor syndrome for me, the better mini painter I become then more critical on myself I become. Thanks for the compliment!
