Desert Wyvern (Reaper Bones 4)

[MoonglowMinis 1474]

Hello again.  Here's another older paintjob of mine.  This is the wyvern from the Bones 4 Core set.

 

My players encountered a flock of Wyverns while traversing a desert valley.  They were mounted on Giant Lizards and were chased by the wyverns.  What ensued was an Indiana Jones-esque chase complete with daring leaps from mount to mount.  All-in-all a good time.

 

 

As such, I decided to paint this guy up to fit into an arid desert landscape.  Had a lot of fun blending the sculpted base into the rest of the base.  Also was really proud of the coloration I settled on for the Wyvern.

 

 

I painted each scale individually, which was time consuming but worth it.  I also tried some different glazing and layering techniques to add veining into the wings.  Needless to say, I'm pretty proud of this one.  Wish I had snagged up Blacksting during the Kickstarter as well though.  Will have to get my hands on that one eventually.

I love it; very natural looking.

That should be a band: "Flock of Wyverns"

A shadow appears above your head

A wing'd creature comes diving down towards you
Diving down towards you

 

The shadow's moving nearer still
A deadly Wyvern comes in view
Wyvern comes in view

 

And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away

Love this guy. Well done! You have given me inspiration on how to approach painting mine.

Looks like he'd sneak up on your party in the desert and gobble them up!  Well done!

Great job making the critter look like it belongs in its environment!
