Colossal Red Dragon
I just finished up another set of trophies for the D&D Miniatures Constructed Championship going on at Gen Con Indy 2006. This is the 1st place prize. This guy pretty much tested every painting skill that I've picked up over the last 5 years. The rocks are resin casts of a homemade mold. Part of the wing was added. The wings originally were clear so they were painted with semi-translucent paints allowing light to shine through like a real wing -- cotton threads were embedded in the wing to mimic veins. The actual boney parts of the wing were first painted black, then white, and then red to make sure that light wouldn't pass through so you see the bright wing surrounded by the dark bones, etc. I improved a bit on my airbrushing techniques, the ochre scales were wet-blended from a brown to yellow ochre to bone, etc... This was finished in July 2006. It's about 14 inches tall.
