10012, Kaladrax the Dire Drake (heavy pictures)

[Metalchaos]

Here are some "large" pictures of my entry for the Facebook Paint Your Dragon Reaper Group Painting Contest.

I slightly modified the pose of this first edition 10012, Kaladrax so that it looks like he's pointing its left arm finger at an enemy or direction.

I also converted the bones of the right hand and added a Wand of Orcus in his closed fist.

The Wand of Orcus comes from Reaper's 10005, The Court of Abyst boxed set.

On the base, I used natural rocks, Army Painter Wasteland Tuft and natural dry lichen as tumbleweed.

I also used Milliput putty to build the dunes before covering them with sand and crackle paste to create dry soil.

 

Kaladrax the Dire Drake was sculpted by Jim Johnson.

Comments and critiques are always very welcome.

That's awesome!

Love the conversion and the base is very fitting.

 

I wished I could find one of these at a reasonable price..

Can always use another Undead Dragon.

Well done piece!

So I went to see if the main site had any pics of the sculpt as-is, and nothing comes back searching for Kaladrax...

Is the Bones one discontinued as well?

If we rely on what's written under the picture, I would say the Bones version of Kaladrax is no longer available as well.

http://www.reapermini.com/FigureFinder#detail/77192 Historical inclusion. No longer available from us at all.

However, I remember there is a new Skeletal Dragon in the Bones 4 Kickstarter.

I sit corrected and now I have to wait for the New Year to see what the 87192 looks like...  Sigh!

I weep, yet rejoice in the one I have.

The bleached bone and old leather look is great! The base is also SO good! The crackle effect making the ground looked so parched is very realistic. Well done!

[Metalchaos]

Thanks for your comment Pochi, I appreciate. It was my first take at crackle paste and I like it alot. I will definitely use that product again.

[ub3r_n3rd]

VERy very cool!!

[KruleBear]

The addition of the staff is inspired. Nice work. 

[Tjrez]

That looks really cool, your wings look very realistic and it goes well with the whole color scheme

[NecroMancer]

This is sooo cool!  I love it!

 

I will offer one critique, although it is very small.  The material you used to create the tumble weed is great and they look like tumble weed but I think they are maybe a little too white.  Just a thought.
