Stormwing (White Dragon Concept)

After about 3 weeks it’s finally done! I’ve had a concept for a white dragon bouncing around in my head for a while, and I shy away from painting overly in white for the same technical reasons as everyone else, but this completes a loop in painting for me....

 

My first dragon ever ever was a white (Reaper’s Deathsleet), and I was doing great just to get somewhat clean lines. After about a year and a half, I wanted to give it another try to compare how much I’ve learned. It’s been difficult since I’m not artistic, but learning to paint minis has been a great experience. I just took a picture of my first white dragon and this current white dragon.

 

Sorry for the crappy photos, but I hope you enjoy the frost dragon/albino-ish concept.

 

Please let me know what you would have done differently. Criticism and advice are always welcome! Goodnight :)

You have made quite a bit of progress in the last year and a half!  I really like the wings on the new dragon, they are almost impressionistic.

Yeah I was messing around with an iridescent type look. First time. Meh. It didn’t really turn out how I wanted, but that’s nothing new. I’ll call him Vincent Van Dragon ;)

They're actually both really nice ! I like the first one as well and dig the concept of them being White but with colored wings!

Thanks :) the way you say that makes me want to go look at the MM now. I always thought if I was going to see a white dragon, it would be like an albino with pink eyes and pale pink wings. If it had matching body & wings, they should at least be like opal iridescent or something. Went too dark on these wings, but I liked it and didn’t want to paint over. Maybe a year from now I’ll do it again ;)

Love the wings. They do look iridescent to me.

 

Also:  Dragons never “go to plan.”  They have their own opinion on the matter of being painted.

Deep glacial clefts, stormy arctic seas, blizzard-heavy stormclouds, week-old bruises--perfect winter color scheme on the wings!

      Reaper Stormwing White Dragon (Update #3))
      By Redd Knekk
      I started this project yesterday with Reaper Bones Stormwing after painting a blue one. I intended to paint another in blue to replace the one I gave away, but instead I thought it was time to do another white dragon!
       
      My first dragon was white, and I had no concept of painting techniques other than a fledgling understanding of brush control. This was a little over a year ago, so I’m painting this one to do a side by side comparison of how far I’ve come.
       
      I reprimed it white over the black, then went Lothern Blue (Citadel) base. I’ve done some gradual damp/dry brushing to work up gray/blue, gray, now hard transitioning into medium beige.
       
      Next step is going more into the whites now that the undertones are there. Breast scales are not undertoned, just straight gray. Going for pink/purple/ice blue highlights...almost like pearlescent finish on horns. I’ll figure it out on the wings and breastplates.
       
      Advice welcome!!

      Stormwing (Blue) - DM’s Gift
      By Redd Knekk
      I painted this as a gift for a friend of mine who got me into DND. He ran Rise of Tiamat for over two years, and that was my introduction to DND and I’ve been hooked ever since. It just seemed like an appropriate gift for all the work he put in!

      Stormwing the Blue (pic-heavy)
      By GodOfCheese
      Learning from my previous forays into blending with wings, I decided to try for something more challenging.  In doing this, I learned that sometimes the parts of bigger minis don't fit together as well as one hopes, which in this case resulted in some  improvisation, especially around the foot/base socket and the wings.  But I am enjoying how he came out.  He was wondrously bumpy.  :-)
