Sirithiliel Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 So I'm going to devote this thread to my first two big baddies, Kaladrax and Nethyrmaul. I had a quick question for anyone that's done Kaladrax already: Are his wings able to be boiled? One of his wings sticks out at a very wonky angle when I put him together [dry, no glue, just testing it out] and I was wondering if i could boil it to make it look better. Right now it doesn't look like it does in the pictures i see online and on the box, lol 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corporea Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 No idea, but good luck and I can't wait to see what you do with them!! Ask Buglips- he already painted Kally. Go, Siri, go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirithiliel Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Good idea, I'll drop him a PM. I'm wondering about the tail too [mine doesn't curve, it goes straight XD] I feel silly, I went to his Kaladrax thread and he DID boil the wings =P Edited March 11, 2014 by Sirithiliel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowRaven Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 will be following this with interest, because Siri's dragons are awesome, and I want to see how you handle the dead ones 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirithiliel Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks! I'm going to start painting Nethyrmaul tomorrow, and I'm going to try and boil Kaladrax's wing and tail tomorrow too. I've already got Nethyrmaul's color scheme in mind, because I've long thought "I would do THIS if I ever got my hands on one of those!" =P 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirithiliel Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Little update. Tried to boil Kaladrax after some serious strategy planning with our local goblin Buglips. He gave some excellent advice for the wings, but the tail of his Kaladrax wasn't warped so SIri embarked on an epic experiment in how to boil Kaladrax's long tail Two before photos, tail and wing, and one after photo of him put together just after being pulled out of the ice water If you note, the tail had warped out of its curve and into a practically straight line. Which meant, when i tried to put it on, he'd pop off his rock because it would go straight down instead of curving. I think i successfully boiled it into a curve with great care involved...the tail was actually too big for my pot lol, had to alternate ends under the hot water in order to get the whole thing flexible. HIs wing, as you'll see, had a severe warp at the shoulder joint which tilted the entire wing upwards as if he was waving Edited March 11, 2014 by Sirithiliel 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sirithiliel Posted March 11, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Update for Nethyrmaul now. I’ve long admired the various Nethyrmaul minis painted by everyone else, and thought of what I would paint it if I had one. Now that I do, I can actually put that scheme into use! I’ve seen Nethyrmaul painted up as many evil type dragons, being black or red, etc.My idea for her was based on a dragon character I designed for a little story that eventually got scrapped, but I kept her idea because I liked it. My dragon is a gold dragon, a noble female who defended the innocent and fought alongside goodly knights against the evil in the world. Her name is Kessindra. [Kess-IN-draw] She fell in battle….and her corpse was raised to serve and fight for those she had sworn to defeat. Her mind and spirit remain, chained and helpless, as her body acts out their evil will.So here’s the progress on Kessindra! This is an entire’s day work >.< but I’ve been putting my best effort into her. She’s not done yet, she’s still too brown and not gold enough, but I’m slowly layering my way up to gold. I’m very proud of her eyes especially ^^Each scale is painted individually [and I use craft paint, so hopefully her quality isn’t TOO bad for that fact] Edited March 11, 2014 by Sirithiliel 33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinh Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Her quality is excellent and knowing that you use craft paints to do this.. I am suitably humbled! The eyes are excellent and I love the way the green and yellow interact which gives them a very alive look. I will be monitoring your progess as I have not dared tackle these large dragons yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kharsin Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 She looks great! I think you've inspired me to try painting in a robe! Seriously though, that's some awesome detail you've got going on. The eyes, scales and everything are looking superb! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
