77328: Cinder (White)

[Sirithiliel]

Starting a WIP for my dragon Cinder

 

He's going to be a white dragon =P 

 

I'm basing him on a Secret Weapon base i got, that looks like it'd be a nice snowy scape. Plus, it is much more stable than the base Cynder came with (which I cut up and made into rocks on my Blightfang's base)

White Dragon... Success! Move him over to show off! Lol, Sorry, couldn't resist Siri.

 

Good luck. Are you thinking blue-y white, or gray-y white?

 

What are the brick-like things in the base? Is it going to be a smashed igloo?

the brick things are broken rune stones =)

 

Ha! good one =P but he'll be a blue-white

I'm definitely going to follow this, only to spur on my jealousy that some people already have their bones 2...

 

I think Cinder was one of the models that somehow managed to help me convince my wife to back Bones 2 before i found employment after college.

 

Cinder and Khanjira those two...

Started base work

I'm both excited about and dreading this thread. I have cinder enroute to me...so I will have a very high standard to compare mine too.

XD I'm glad you're confident, 'cause I'm not...I've never tried painting a white dragon before

 

normally i can't stand things to remain one solid color, so I'm probably going to be tempted to put in some variation into his scales, and it could go so badly....

Yay! More Siri dragons!

[hosercanadian]

Try finding a picture of a polar bear, arctic fox and arctic hare for inspiration. They seem a uniform white...but they aren't. Between guard hairs, subtle colour shifts and dirt they have 3-4 shades of differing intensity. For example, most hares are brown mixed with the white, foxes grey and brown with the white and all of them get a yellow cast from dirt (and maybe other stuff too) on their bellies and legs.

Definitely good to use images for basis...though the effect i'm going for is more along the lines of mother of pearl where it gets that pearly, iridescent sheen to it >.O we'll see if i can do it haha

I was just thinking that would be a fun white dragon to paint! For this purpose I love Vallejo's metal medium, but Reaper's Pearl White is pretty good too. I'm looking forward to seeing this progress.

i do have Pearl White and i plan to use it quite a bit

 

I'm going to be working in a small area at first, to figure out what i want to do before tackling the entire dragon XD

That looks... hard. 

[Sirithiliel]

[LittleBluberry]

I'm totally confident you can do it!
