Title: Reaper dragon
Post by: manatic on 09 September 2017, 11:09:42 AM: Hey everyone,

Not my usual board - I'm more the flouncy shirts type - but wanted to share this Reaper dragon I painted. You can find the associated blog post here (https://dawnofthelead.com/2017/09/09/from-the-painting-desk-56-dragon/) if interested. C&C welcome!

Anyway. Nice painting, the scales come out beautifully, colours complete each other, great facial expression and a really convincing base. Nothing wrong with this one. ;)

I will however now always think of this model as the Disco Dragon...

The base is very good - where is it from?

It's a custom! It's originally a car phone holder mount. I made the details with ProCreate putty. The treasure is just painted ballast with glitter nail polish painted on :D

Well, that's very impressive! Well done indeed.

And the glitter is of course entirely appropriate... :)

Lovely colours 8) 8) 8)

The dragon is either rearing up, landing or indeed busting out some killer disco moves :D

I'm guessing adventurers are going to have a hard job 'Staying Alive!' if they come across that dragon.

But seriously, this is good work. I love that base.

Post by: Duncan McDane on 03 October 2019, 12:52:14 PM: The Disco Dragon is now a stretch goal in the current Reaper Bones V kickstarter. Will get me at least two, one normal and one for conversion with sun glasses and a microphone :D
