I really enjoy painting dragon type figures, I think this one is supposed to be a Basilisk but it had a dragon like look about it especially with the wings. I'm fairly happy with this one though not sure if I like the way the scale pattern came out. The bottom picture has a little too much light, especially on the neck, so it looks a little washed out. The top picture's colors are truer (wanted to show both sides though). Let me know what you think!

I really like what you did with this one. Very cool looking mini. And, no, it has nothing to do with the fact that I am your husband.

Thank you for the comments! I agree in the picture that the wings look rather flat. I tried painting green striations onto the wings but they don't come across very well in the photo and are kind of faint even on the actual mini. The lower wings came out a little better (more green) and I might modify the upper wings to match.
