Popular Post Cicciopiu Posted July 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Hello all, soooo this is my version of Narthrax, I've painted him with nothing in mind but "try to make it realistic"... it turned out cartonish -.- well... too many hours spent on this beast, but in the end it looks pretty cool, i think. Very hard to take good pictures of him :/ EDIT - new pics: Old outside pics: It lacks the base as he will be part of a diorama (a "no so realistic one" :D ) hope you like it :) Edited July 18, 2019 by Cicciopiu 60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearman Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I really like the green and tan on the scales and the spines and claws look great, but I feel the red is fighting with the green. If you want to put in some more time, you could shift the reds to more orange and/or purples. That might take some of the cartoony parts away. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonfreeman Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 kinda agree with clearman. i think there's a little much contrast between red/greens. muting down the wings would help it out (imo, keep the red a brighter red for focus and intimidation). but yeah, tones aside that's brilliant work. ^^ nice stuff. Curious, how big is the base he's sitting on? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetmut Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I have to admit, the green and red really work for me. The tan/bone claws and spines break it up enough, and I love the blending from the green neck to the red head. I also love the strong contrast between the colours in the third photo. Great work! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustardgreens Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Looks incredible actually. I especially love the green body fading toward the brown neck and red head. Splendid details. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Very nice color choices and blending. And if you haven't already, be sure to put him in the forum Large Figure Contest. :) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcstaar Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I think you did a fantastic job. I like the contrast. The graduation from green neck to red head is cool and something I would not have thought of. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I really like how it turned out! Well done! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicciopiu Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Thank you so much for the advice and the kind words, I'm very happy you like him! 17 hours ago, Clearman said: I really like the green and tan on the scales and the spines and claws look great, but I feel the red is fighting with the green. If you want to put in some more time, you could shift the reds to more orange and/or purples. That might take some of the cartoony parts away. Yeaaah I noticed the strong contrast of red parts but i do not want to lose this scheme cause this colouration should be menacing, like if him is turning red cause of fire charging. Anyway I think that more purple tones on the shades may add something on the realistic side, thank you for your advice @Clearman 17 hours ago, jonfreeman said: Curious, how big is the base he's sitting on?

Iridil Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Really beautiful - wonderful blending. I like the natural green lizard colors of the body shifting to the fantastical red of the head and wings - I think it works 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicciopiu Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Thank you so much, I was not sure of the red/green transition, I'm happy you like it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooktalker Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 That's a fantastic and convincing green with real depth! I have a WIP Blightfang to get back to and may go for something like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
