More work on the purple dragon completed this weekend. I like the white claws on the wingtips and horns. Just about getting ready to give the spines on the back the orange treatment. Part of me thinks it will be too much (AKA suck) and part of me things it will be very cool so I have decided to try it with the idea that I can redo them white if I hate it.
I about ready to start working on the face, primarily the eyes, since I'm starting to settle into the details now. I want to draw attention to the face in order to increase the drama. As for basing this bad boy, I would love to perch him on the head of a statue if I can find one that works, adding in some broken weapons, gold, treasure chests, and come corpses. Of course, I am keeping my options open at this point because inspiration may strike and I want to be ready.
Are you tired of seeing the Purple dragon pictures? (BTW Purple Dragon Pictures is my Imagine Dragons cover band) No? Yes? Well, here they come. I've been working on the wings and claws, but I have been agonizing over the spikes on the back for a while. I don't think I like the orange spikes but I'm not really sure either. Going ivory like the claws would be a pretty safe choice but who gets anywhere by taking the safe choice? Okay, so lots of people... But who breaks new ground by being safe? Lots of people you say? Well, they have to work at it for a long time before they get a breakthrough... Your right I have no idea what I'm talking about. That being said enjoy the picture of Jimi. Next time expect to see him/her with orange spikes just to see what it looks like. I can always repaint.
lastly, there is the tank. I would like to see this in some sort of post-apocalypse game where it is really weather beaten and rusty but I think I underdid it on the rust. I was following along on the Miniature Monthy (subscribe now -- best 5 bucks you have ever spent) site and I like the way the rust came out -- I just wanted more of it. I wasn't aggressive enough with the mold builder. Oh well, I could always redo it but I think I will keep going with it.
Reapercon starts in 4 days and I have so far to go to finish these. Got lots done today but I'm too tired to do more. I'm at that point where I'm creating more problems than I'm fixing. Any pictures are below.
Okay so I got my Zombicide Black Plague Kickstarter and spent about two hours opening and drooling over the contents. The miniatures are pretty darn good for board game miniatures and the artwork and components are top notch. However no sooner did my box arrive than I got a commission for some Black Plague painting. COOL! Here are a few of them including one that is converted -- Can you tell which one?
Want more? Well you are in luck. I have also been working on a miniature for a friend who is running a DnD game for us. He got spell cards for everyone so I figured return the favor.... sort of. I believe he likes pirates and he loves the Reaper mascot so I found this:
Still want more pics? Here is a commission piece I am working on.
More? Well you will have to wait until later in the week.
