Popular Post Logos Posted March 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) This was actually a broccoli to paint. There is probably more I could do but I am sick off looking at it at the moment. lol. God it's huge. I tried to get a mossy/swampy look using a different type of flock this time. Looks ok. Any ideas to make it look more mossy? Edited March 27, 2018 by Logos 37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keianna Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Nice dragon! Kudos on finishing the whole tail. There is an awful lot of it. I really like the colors you used on the non-bone parts. It is a nice contrast to the greens on the base. Your swamp looks a bit dry. If you take a bit of water effect, I like woodland scenics clear or secret weapon, you can drip it in puddles over the flock. When it dries it looks like a wet, swampy puddle. I learned this by accident trying to do a river. I would encourage you to do a bit on a test piece to see if you like how it looks. The stuff does have a tendency to get away from you. You can also take a brown wash and generously dab it over the flock in patches to get some more color variation going. To get some good looking moss and lichen on the rocks you can dab on a bit of super glue then press a piece of foam like the kind that some minis get packed with into it. Let it dry and rip the foam off. You get some nice texture that you can then paint as you like. I would try to pull some colors from your flock. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NecroMancer Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 For getting a good moss look I like to use Citadel Lustrian Undergrowth. Its a technical paint and it works great as moss. Or you can maybe get some reindeer moss from Hobby Lobby or Michaels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumalis Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Beautiful dragon, it looks very menacing! It adds new dimensions to the tail attack... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long did it take you to get that done? 1 year of procrastinating after I got it kinda of cleaned up. lol. Painting probably 10-12 hours and then maybe an hour spend flocking the base and finding some rocks for it. You can definitely do it in a weekend if that is all you do that weekend. 11 hours ago, NecroMancer said: For getting a good moss look I like to use Citadel Lustrian Undergrowth.

Yeah I have some lichen and moss from a plant store that I got my mom to pick up for me I was thinking of adding. Question is what is the best way to seal/harden it up? I was thinking of trying the 50pva/50 water technique with a spray bottle. It's been pretty good and sealing and hardening the hobby flocks and such I have been using on my other bases. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Chaoswolf Posted March 31, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 31, 2018 Very good work on him! I agree with what Keianna said about the base; some very good advice there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DankDungeonMaster Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Holy molly! That thing's huge! Better you than me, pal! Seriously, now, you should grow some moss over the stones and rocks. Maybe adding some tall swamp grass or a broken overgrown tree trunk... Anyway, amazing work! Would not like to cross with one of those in an adventure, it looks dangerous.
