Buggeye Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Finally got around to taking pics of Big Red and some other pieces I kicked off the back burner.

Prophet Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 The dragon is just awesome. My personal faves are Bertrand and the Wizard of Faith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tiger Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Nice job on the wings, i really like the blackened edges, give him a sooty/charred quality that is pretty original I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 First off, love the brain like texture of the base.. Tis awesome! What did you usefor that? Next, Close up of the dragon face please!!! The scales! The scales! Ooohh and I like how you did your bolt there. Clever disguise but secure. After the dragon, the Wizard o Faith... tis very nice!

tabascojunkie Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Very, very sharp. You need to put a bigger overall picture of the dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG88 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Sweet job on that Dragon, she looks great. Thats my favorite Sandra Garrity Dragon, she is a master, good job bringing her sculpt to life. Its a real hassle to hold that bugger up while painting, when i did mine I think I gained 2 inches in muscle mass in my left bicep :(). - 88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyrmgear Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Like everyone has said: Nice dragon! And I mirror Stubbdog's comment on the bolt, well done. Love the monk, nice deep red on the robe. The shield on Ardanael is neat, nice idea there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesabre Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Dragon looks great, very well done on hiding stuff as well. Others look good too, Ettin looks to skinny but eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madog Barfog Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Very nice. I like Niriodel, but I have a question. She's a cleric? I find nothing cleric-like about that sculpt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggeye Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 First off, love the brain like texture of the base.. Tis awesome! What did you usefor that? That is a product called "Great Stuff" Insulating Foam Sealant from Dow. Its used to fill big gaps in walls for plumbing & HVAC. It comes in a spray can and expands to fill in an area. Its dense enough to prime and paint without having it disolve. Once I sprayed it on the base I poked a small hole in the outer skin to let air escape and kept pressing down and shaping it till it stopped expanding. It doesn't quite match the green stuffed gaming portion of the base but does give it a very organic look that I thought simulated molten lava pretty well. Next, Close up of the dragon face please!!! Very, very sharp. You need to put a bigger overall picture of the dragon. I'll see what I can do. Its a real hassle to hold that bugger up while painting, when i did mine I think I gained 2 inches in muscle mass in my left bicep :(). - 88 After the assembly the next part of doing the dragon was getting the base done - once that was sculpted I was able to attach the entire thing to a large camera tripod that had multi angle pivoting holder. Never had to touch the sculpt but then I didn't gain any muscle mass either. Very nice. I like Niriodel, but I have a question. She's a cleric? I find nothing cleric-like about that sculpt! Pretty sure she's a "He" and the cleric tag was used for completeness as it is used in its discription in the catalog. But I know where you're comming from. While an elven cleric in my opinion is fine with a bow in hand - I do kinda like my clerics with a little heavier armor and a prominent holy symbol.

Jabberwocky Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Wonderful job on all the pieces, but the blend on the dragon wings is excellent. *Makes note* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Like everyone has said: Nice dragon! And I mirror Stubbdog's comment on the bolt, well done. Love the monk, nice deep red on the robe. The shield on Ardanael is neat, nice idea there too. I agree with wyrmgear on everything. The hidden nut was an absolutely great idea. The dragon is smokin' as well (pun intended), the wings came out great. And Ardanael's shield is really cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
