Popular Post aku-chan Posted July 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2014 Finally got my Wyrmgear finished:- The wings could use something to break up those large flat areas, but it was hard enough just getting a solid layer of colour on them! Overall I'm really happy with how he turned out. Comments and criticisms graciously received. 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3r_n3rd Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Amazing piece of technological marvel! Oh and great paint job as well :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 The use of different metal finishes is a nice effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Bedlam Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Nice use of color... makes me want to go back and fix mine. I just used different metallic finishes, like you did, but didn't use nonmetallic colors.And if you dislike the big open areas of the wings, well, you're still doing better than me. I couldn't get the brushstrokes not to show... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangaroorex Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 When it comes to areas like wings, I bless my cheap $30 airbrush and shop compressor. I can get the paint to lay without brush strokes but it may take 20 layers before I get to a saturation I am happy with. Using the air brush usually takes 2 coats and leaves an even surface. Really nice work on the dragon! Is the Scottish flavor intentional? I feel I should find him curled among a hoard of whiskey barrels deep in a highlands warehouse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aku-chan Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Thanks for the comments everybody! @Kangaroorex - He's not intentionally Scottish, that would make a great diorama though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingo Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I love the blue lights on the metal and the ruby knees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 WONDERFUL! The metals are GORGEOUS & the shield patters are an inspired idea. The LOVELY base finishes off your creation BEAUTIFULLY. VERY WELL DONE! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmeer Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Really, Aku Chan, this is an impressive dragon. The best part of the giant white wings is that a khaki wash (intentional here) left on them and laid flat should produce a nice fabric appearance. Use some yellowish leather brown along the wings and you should have a nice canvas type effect (this is my plan for my Wyrmgear's wings, I'll let you know how it turns out). The cow catcher (his upper lip) could use a little deepening of the recesses, but that could be the camera. The entire mini looks really nice. I like the differences in the metallic areas. The gem work is great, which is really hard given the size of those gems. And the shield work is really good, you've got the heraldry bit down nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangaroorex Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I agree on the gems. They are fabulous. Subtle enough to not take away from the mini and good enough to cause a start of surprise when noticed. Again, really nice job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paintergeist Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The metal finish on the wing mechanism is great! Really looks like some mysterious device you might find in your grandads attic. The gyms are a sweet detail. Just like a pocket watch, it's got a jewel-bearing mechanism. Awesome basing too! I'm not a fan of the red and blue shields though. For a clockwork creature, I always imagine a Victorian or steampunkish design. But it's easy for me to recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
