For the paint scheme, I went with an undead red dragon as per the suggestions of many friends. I painted this miniature in about 13 hours give or take. It still isn't done. I have to base it yet, and do one last round of touchups and highlights. I like to look at a miniature for a few days after I have "finished" one. This gives me time to decide what needs touched up.
I always do patterns and extra detailing if I can get away with it. I wanted to come up with a skin pattern to use on Nethyrmaul, and future red dragon projects. I often ask Google what I should do when tasked with creating nature's patterns. A simple image search yielded me the Eastern Hog-Nosed Snake as a model.
Isn't it adorable. I even liked the black tongue for this paint scheme. In hindsight, there really wasn't much room to translate this pattern to the model, and it be recognized. Which I understand from some point of view is a plus. With this image, I went to work...
I didn't actually expect you to watch 99% of that. Don't feel bad. These videos serve as a reference. If you wanna know how I did something, go find it and watch that part. At some point, I may go back and edit these videos down into some kind of montage. We'll wait and see...
I will produce one or two more parts to this MINI-series, hehe, in which I do some touch ups and base him.
Here are some current pics as well!
