an update :o :wink:

The prowlers look good and the bowstrings are a nice touch.

about the colourscheme, why not use all three of them?

Now there's an idea. I might just do that. Thanks for the feed back aqan.

Another small update. I repainted my Durburz over the weekend and have some more pictures. He still needs a few highlights on the skin and a wash on the cloth. It was already uploaded to my gallery but it is still part of my WiP.

Wargs and the Warg Chieften will be next: based, highlighted and washed! The chieften is near completion with highlights in the face, highlights added to the victim and the base finished.

Personally I think the skin is a bit too bright. A Devlan Mud wash (followed by some highlights) would darken the skin tone and add some much needed shading.

Thanks for the criticism. :)

Okay, I'll wash him then highlight the skin.

wargs are looking nice- i like the way the fur is painted. Love your idea for the goblin bows - really good looking. Nice idea of adding strings and arrows !

Ahhh... my lovely W.I.P Blog... an epic that will never truly die...

Well, as some of you know, my Dragon was supposed to be a regularly recurring character in this blog...

So... he's back again!

Bigger and more awesome than before. (I just had to give him a large photo size so that I could see more of the details which need to be fixed).

Still got a long way to go though... that is, until I'm even 75% satisfied with the beast.

Well, that's all from me today, Cal
:-D

Oh, I know Jon, but I feel sick every time I realise there is a bit I could easily improve. From those pictures alone I've spotted 4 easily improved bits and 2 more challenging tasks.

1.The belly scales could do with an Asurmen Blue wash followed by 1:4 Regal Blue/Ice Blue highlights.
2. Their are a few bits of bare metal showing through due to wear and tear, each easily fixable with a fine detail brush and Necron Abyss.
3. The tail needs more washes, and 'cleaner' drybrushing.
4. The talons on the Wings need to be re-painted, with three of four coats of Skull White.
5. (more difficult) Completely revamping the base of the model, including talons, rocks, blood etc.
6. (the most daunting) Painting more detailed scales on the blank sections between the wings and the main body.

Well, that pretty much saves anyone else from pointing out the flaws in the paint work so far. I think I've pointed out every aspect I could improve, as I know from experience (see my 40k painting blog), that I can do so much better.

Well, I'm obviously a very harsh critic of my own work. It's a good job I took those pics then. :rofl:

Nice dragon so far, I like the gore on the claws and the base. Good luck with finishing it, I like the colour scheme 8)

Thanks for the encouragement Jake. I have a free day today, so I'll spend it finishing off some aspects of the dragon. I'll tackle the smaller issues first.
