Ian , wow - that “one thread” graphic is awesome - thank you!! That’s a keeper !
Is there anyway you could send me the graphic of just the dragon ? I think I can use that in many ways - maybe even put it on a t-shirt !
No problem Joe - I'll PM you to clarify details to make sure you get exactly what you need.

Just gimme a few days to get on top of the other BS I now have queued-up due to me taking it easy over the last week (I needed some chill time), and I promise we'll get it sorted :thumb2:

Thanks Ian!

Glad I switched out the head as I had lost all these fantastic details in the black heart reign of fire head.

Image

Toned down the back paint. Pretty happy with this look. Trick is to just leave it alone now.

Image

Image

Image

Still have to tone down the underside. Added some details to the feet which will have some red highlights.

Image

Image

Image

Here is what the back looked like before I toned it down (it looked “cool”, but didn’t look “realistic”)

Yeah - "toned down" is good :thumb2: (for this anyways - just don't tell any of my rock buddies :shock: :oops: )

Toned down the under wings and abs.
Next will tone down the under neck and tail, detail the mouth and eyes, and then finally will be done.

I don't know why - but that green pupil REALLY works! =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Great job Joe - now take a beauty shot from whatever angle works best for you, then PM me the link and I'll adapt it for that request you had a week ago.

Ian/Spike.

(* EDIT *) And DAMN - that area with the couch looks as amazing as the rest of your house! :shock: 8) :thumb2:

I love the detail you put into the in progress posts and the models themselves. Super cool.

Enjoyed the thread and the end product came out spectacular! I especially like the wing coloring.

Ian (heavy metal spike) was kind enough to send me a cut out image of this dragon bash.

So I used that image to make some beer coasters.

I am also thinking about using this image on a T-shirt for wonderfest this year….

Thanks again Ian!

Heck - I was almost up to date on this thread (NOW I am :) )

Well wouldya look at that! :D . . . glad you could make use of the image - that's weeks of patient perseverance & craftsmanship from you and only a teeny-tiny bit of photo-tweaking by me pic.

Still love the end result on this.

Absolutely - anything I can do to help - no worries.

Photos with a clean/regular background (like with a sheet or towel or piece of card behind them) are done in a couple of minutes, but I can remove any unwanted noise as needed - just takes a bit longer.
