Significantly shortened the neck.
Increased the arch of the neck.
Going for a shorter, thicker, more powerful and threatening look.
Just roughed it in, still need to do detailing.

















Here are before pics, that long thin neck kinda had a brachiosaurus thing going on versus dragon

In which case - I'd probably add some feet


.

[barad_dur]

Hah, working them…

[barad_dur]

Started detailing under side of neck
Reduced size of thumb claws on wings

[barad_dur]

Slimmed down legs a bit.
Need to detail the claws again as I made them longer.
Starting to detail side and back of neck .

[barad_dur]

Reworked feet/claws to try and make them more aggressive looking.
Made the claws wider apart on each foot, thinned them down to make them more boney/gnarly
Added some details to sides between wings and chest armor

You succeeded!

[barad_dur]

Beefed up back of lower jaw
Working on detailing back and side of neck

[barad_dur]

Extended the head horns
Modifications finished; Next step is to start painting

[barad_dur]

Applied light base coat
Plan to go with green color scheme

[barad_dur]

Starting to add in the green

[barad_dur]

Could not get the green color scheme to work for me
So trying out a different color scheme
Lots of detailing, dry brushing, and toning down left to do…

[OKCmike]

Like the new color pallet you're using. Looks to be coming along nicely.

[barad_dur]

Thank you.
I am still not sure about this new color scheme ….

[barad_dur]

Color tone was too orange-ish, so going back to more naturalistic brownish color scheme

[barad_dur]

Going back to green and yellow scheme.
Just put on first light coats.
Lots more washes and dry brushing to do.
I am pretty happy with how the head, neck, body, leg and claw modifications came out.

[tay666]
