Popular Post Dark side painter Posted June 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2015 I just finished painting the Red Dragon from the Pathfinder line. It's part of a larger project I'm working on. I hope you guys like it. C&c's are always welcome. 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slendertroll Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Woah! I LOVE the glowing-with-internal fire effect! That's spectacular! If I was to offer any criticism, it would be that the rest of the mini looks flat and drab by comparison. I know you want to emphasize the brightness of the fire, but I think an extra pass or highlight and/or shadow on the rest of the scales (especially the red ones) would truly put this over the top. That said, this is pretty amazing as-is, and I'm excited to see it in the context of the larger piece. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glitterwolf Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I agree with the above. Great idea with the internal fire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontfear Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Really great idea and execution on the internal fire. I may need to steal that for a later project. I think you may want to add some contrast and interest to some of the large flat colored surfaces you have. The scales don't have much of range and neither do the horns and claws. This is awesome though. Keep it up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark side painter Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Thanks guys...the red scales actually do have a better contrast in person, I used purples for the shadows which you see when you look at it real life, it just didn't get picked up by the camera on my phone. When I get the barbarian painted, I'll be taking pics with a professional camera and better lighting. But thanks a bunch guys...I'm glad everyone likes it :-D and to be absolutely honest, this is only the third mini I've painted to completion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark side painter Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Here is the display base, with both figures and completed... The display base is a fully custom made piece using foamular, watered down spackle, and a hobby knife to carve it all with. Most of the larger stones are just repurposed foam that had been cut off as chunks in the catching process. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegascat Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 That display base is *sweet*! I'm loving the glow effect in the dragon's mouth and the rest of the dragon looks great too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricksay Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Love the colours you chose, really nice work. Can't wait to see better photos when you complete it all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
