Nethyrmaul, Final Version

[angrygerbil]

Hello everybody!

For those of you that followed my WIP threads, here are the final pics and video of my version of Nethrymaul. In all, it took about 6-7 weeks to do everything so I am a bit worn out. Thank you for the encouragement and feedback while I took on this piece of work. The custom electronics were developed by myself using Arduino boards, the final version flash to a nano version of the board. The LED effects are each custom coded using a library I wrote to handle the effects. I did a bit of studying on the heartbeat pulse. Yes, I most shamelessly took the idea from the last scene in DragonHeart where the dragon lifted his scale to show the glowing yellow heart. I figure even Nethyrmaul once had a heart!

 

I hope you enjoy my work, and to the sculptor, thank you for such a beautiful piece of work. I hope I was able to live up to your expectations on how it could be painted!

 

Please note, I did not use photoshop to clean anything up. The only thing I adjusted was the brightness and sharpness of the entire image. If you watch the video, which is unedited and unmodified, you will see I have not make any adjustments to the model. I did play with different lighting though in a few pics just for fun!

FUN LIGHTING WITH SMOKE!

I tried to make it all cemetary and evil like. Almost like you can smell the stench of death and decay in the air.

Brilliantly done, sir.

Amazing. The paint job alone is great, but you took it to a whole 'nother level. Bar has been set, ladies and gents.

[GeraintElberion]

Amazing. Loving the heartbeat and the paint job especially.

I was quite anxious to see this in it's final form. You didn't disappoint, it's amazing. :)

[Metalchaos]

Fantastic result! I like the way it's surrounded by fog on your last picture. The scales are great.

Holy....

[Citrine]

Wow, that is awesome!

Stunning piece of work! You should enter it into contests. I just got a beagle bone board so now I have something to shoot for... Trying to catch up to you!

I love the finished product! The lights worked out amazingly well.

 

Your spooky-smoke shot makes me wonder if the Bonesium is tough enough to hollow out and install a little dry ice reservoir. My guess is that it's not, but it'd be pretty intimidating.
