Nameless Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 You might have seen the Stormwing in the Reaper Winter Contest thread. I wanted to post some more pics here. This is really cool sculpt (sorry Reaperfolks, but your official pic does not do this piece justice!), had a lot of fun painting it. and this dwarf here is the Thunderlord from Avatars of War range. The base is Scibor Monstrous Miniatures stuff, I only attached some vegetation to it (and painted it of course) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangaroorex Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Nice work! I really like the fade on the wings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Killer Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Great Work! I love the way the green came out on the dwarf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TaleSpinner Posted March 8, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 8, 2010 Best White dragon I've seen. The whole mini is excellent. As for the official pictures, i felt the same way about Cinder. Make sure you submit this to the Inspiration Gallery (if you haven't already) so we'll have it around to look at as time goes by.

Mercius Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Both of these are amazing...great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 thank you for kind words. @TaleSpinner - it is in the IG already and as for the colour, I didn't think about the specific colour when I was painting it. I just wanted to paint it as the ice dragon. If I was to name him after colour, I'd rather choose blue, not white But, I have to say I'm not familiar with D&D terms, perhaps this dragon should be called 'white', at least by gamers :) Anyway, I'm now thinking about the colour scheme for my next dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushmaster Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Great paintjob but an absolutely awesome pair of bases ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgtriplec Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Have to agree Talespinner this is about the best white dragon I've ever seen as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dks Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Excellent and crisp work on the dragon. I like the variety of blues and purples that you achieved, and I can practically feel the cold spray from the waterfall base. I like the color choices and the basing for the dwarf, but I'm having a hard time comprehending his face! If he is looking straight forward in the upper shot, I think I see his right eye, but his left eye is in shadow, and then I'm puzzled by the apparent absence of an upper lip and by the brown color and the bulbous form of the mouth area. (Is there a wooden mask over the mouth?) Anyway, some higher contrast and brighter colors around the face would make the forms more distinct and make it a clearer focal point.

Derek He's puffin' on a big stogie, but it look like it's not lit. He has a pipe too. I just noticed the face in the rocks. Very cool.

JimL Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Excellent minis. The dragon is awesome, the color variety and base are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Derek, you're not the only one with that problem Sculpt is pretty busy and painters much better than me failed to paint it properly with all details clearly visible. Add my poor photo skills to it and there you have it - a mystery face aka what's going on there? mouth - rgtriplec is right, there's a cigar. it adds to the confusion perhaps. I'm also not fond of the face part, I know I failed to paint it nicely. BTW, I hope this is not against board rules, but I wanted to inform that the dwarf will go to e-bay soon for a charity auction (Little Angels contest).

Lyn Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Wow that is a gorgeous white dragon! and I love the highlights on the dwarfs cape. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 thanks Lyn. @rgtriplec - my minis are not e-bay hits, so you have a big chance of winning an auction by just placing a bid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
