Darkmeer Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hi all, Despite going back to school, I've had time to paint this. What do you think? Any thoughts? I'm working on getting more pictures that really work, but the light source isn't behaving... as always. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowRaven Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Looks good. You should consider entering him in the "here be dragons" contest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmeer Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 I have to get better photos, but I'd be glad to enter it if my photos get up to snuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowRaven Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 snap a picture of him against a grey background outside. I always maintain that the best light for a photo is the sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlady Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Nice job! I like what you did with the underside of his wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thes Hunter Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I just picked up his face. I had gotten him back in the day, but he was either missing the face piece, or I had lost that piece over the years. So there were several occasions I had wanted to build him, but I hadn't been able to, until I remembered they have a bone yard here. And Huzzah, now I have a complete mini. Maybe I'll paint mine up soon. Yours is looking good. Nice clean paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmeer Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yay! New photos and much better photos. I'm leaving the original above, but ShadowRaven's idea really worked. I used some taupe charcoal paper and ran charcoals over it, and wow does he pop now! Going to be cross posting over to the "here there be dragons" contest now, but I figured, since not everyone goes to those forums, I'd post here too! Although I'm completed with him, any critique is welcome, so I know for the next time I set out. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowRaven Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 very nice. I am glad I could help with the photos. It was a lesson I learned here, and was glad to pass on. Should certainly be a contender in the "here be Dragons' contest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegel Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I love the eyes and the scale (the font of the throat) good one :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Cleanbrush Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Awesome job! His eyes and tongue are especially well done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmeer Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Wow... Like bombed today! Apparently there are (edit) 11 (/edit) people who liked my Abyzarran today, in addition to Kuro's and Vegel's comments. Thank you all! It's especially nice to see painters who are certainly higher than my level of skill either smiling (thus liking) or seeing some measure of improvement for me. /d Edited November 20, 2013 by Darkmeer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
