William Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Day 6 of my goal to paint all of the miniatures I currently own brings you Nolzur's Adult White Dragon. At 10 inches tall, ten inches long and 8 inches wide this is one of the biggest 'miniatures' I've ever painted. For size comparison I've included a Dwarf and Planetar that I previously painted as well as a D20. I intentionally left the base unpainted due to the way Nolzur's handles these larger miniatures - it comes on a 4-inch base (for stability) indicating it is a gargantuan creature, but the ring at the 3-inch mark denotes its actual size category of huge. Part of me wants to leave it as is, while another part wants to paint it. What do you guys think? 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotF Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 For the base, you could, actually, do both things, paint the inner ring part and leave the outer clear. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulture Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Dang, even a gargantuan base seems small for this beast; they have really up-sized the dragons like crazy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...I was thinking the same thing. This dragon looks great. White's never fun to paint, especially at this scale. You did a good job with it. Little touches like the black claws, etc. create nice contrast. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've painted white dragons in the past and always went with blues for an icier look but this time I went with grays to white and used a dark wash. I honestly think using grays instead of blues makes it look 10x better. As for the base, I actually considered painting just the part up to the ring but didn't think it would look right with the clear outer circle. If I end up painting it, I'll do the entire thing.

I haven't done a fully white dragon as of yet, but I did do a white dragonborn. Started with a darker blue-grey and went to white for the scales via drybrushes, then finished it with a very light drybrush of a pearlescent white craft paint to add an extra sheen to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Chaoswolf Posted April 18, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 18, 2022 Great job. If it was me, I'd do the base as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
