Mini Dreadful is taking the random rainbow dragon challenge!

[Mini Dreadful]

With a new year, and a resolution to paint more I thought what better way to kick things off than with a challenge.  As I searched through my lab looking for the prefect mini to inspire me I thought, since I'm resurrecting a older challenge why not use a resurrected dragon. For this challenge I will paint the Zombie Dragon (77466 ).

 

 

And the colors I rolled are:

 

 

Resulting in Lava Orange (3), Marine Teal (17), and Earth Brown (13). I don't have any of the colors so I will be substituting with Reaper HD paints. 29805 HD Burning Orange (Lava Orange),   29813 HD Bright Turquoise, and 29829 HD Golden Brown (Earth Brown).  I'm going for the 3 Star challenge so I'll only be using my rolled colors plus black and white for value adjustments. So while a dominantly orange zombie dragon could be tricky to make interesting, I am excited to see where I can push the limited color palette.

 

In my substitutions I chose Bright Turquoise over the HD Solid Blue because, to me at least, the Marine Teal looks like an almost even mix between green and blue, and if there is any color basis it would be towards the green side which is where I see the Bright Turquoise leaning as well; the Solid Blue had a much more Blue basis I thought. 

 

Now to get it assembled and primed.

Orange and teal are great contrasting colors, and you can blend brown with both of them.  Have fun!

Whoooo, another rainbow dragon thread, and a zombie dragon at that!

This will be a treat!

Got the creature assembled and primed; dragon in Brown Liner, and base in Blue Liner. Next I'll start blocking in colors to ensure I'm hitting my requirements for primary, secondary and 3rd wheel color coverage .

I'm excited to see how it will turn out!

 

You got lucky on your die roll. That looks like a very good colour palette.

Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Keep up the good work!
