77190: Nethyrmaul the Undying Silver Dragon

[Disciple of Sakura]

I picked up Nethyrmaul to be a cohort for a major undead villain in my Pathfinder campaign, and decided that I really liked the idea of her slaying a Silver dragon and reanimating it as an evil zombie minion, so, I tried my hand at a bit of a NMM(ish) silver scale pattern with a little bit of actual metallic silver thrown in to a few places. He was a long time in completing, the process, but I'm really happy with him. I'm especially fond of the "dragon graveyard" base that he's standing on. The skulls are from a "Prehistoric Mammal Skulls" Toob pack I picked up at the local arts and crafts store. The ribs rising out of the ground are actually the teeth of a plastic alligator clip I grabbed from a grocery store, and the extra rocks are actual rocks and debris from the broken pavement outside my house. He's mounted on a 7" diameter wooden base.

 

I appreciate your looks and comments. I'm still figuring out some of the things I'm working on with this sort of thing.

Really fine work! Gruesome and scary!

[KruleBear]

Awesome! This is a very striking scheme and you executed it perfectly

This looks super cool, the contrast of the silver scales to the gore looks great. Definitely inspiring me for mine that I need to paint up for my Wrath of the Righteous campaign.

Amazing colours!

Very nice and I am so going to borrow your dragon graveyard idea. The hair clip ribs are awesome!

Wow! Superb paintjob, and the base is a perfect match.

Great work!

That's ingenious!  Every other picture I've seen of nethyrmaul has him as a green dragon, so it's great to see him in another variety - with a bit of backstory to go with it! Great job! 

[NecroMancer]

So cool!  Amazing creativity!

Spectacular!

Wow!  Very nice!  Great idea with the hair clip!  I would not have guessed had you not mentioned it.

I really wanted more than just skulls, but I was having trouble finding appropriately sized bones without buying a scientific dinosaur skeleton model, and then it just came to me right before I finished the dragon and started on his base.

Excellent work!!
