At this point I had to pause, wasn’t entirely sure how I was going to highlight the green, and I wanted to sort this before doing the green on the big guy. There was an awful lot of it, and I wanted to get it right. I decided to experiment on the babies (I’m expecting a visit from the unethical treatment of fantasy creatures any day now)

I chose nurgling green as it was still green but much, much brighter..... in fact it was too bright so after drybrushing the little guy to pick out the raised areas I had to dull it down. At the back of my really useful box of GW paints I had some oldschool Thracka green wash. A quick coat of that and the skin looked great (well, I think it looks great and they are my toy dragons so thhhhhhp! to all the haters. You'll notice the horns and tongue are done on this one now as well. The tongue was just painted gw dwarf flesh (or whatever current gw name it is now!) then washed with a red wash. The bone was done by painting it umber then khaki, then bone then white on the tips

The other little guy, although I've not done the bone

The big dragon, painted green and washed with creed camo

You’ll notice I have done the eyes on the big guy. This was because it was easier to do now and if i sploshed yellow about or screwed up the black pupil it would be easier to sort if there werent highlights in and around the eyes. I painted them orange, then yellow closer to the centres then a black line for the pupil (I cheat and use a black 0.1mm fineliner pen for eyes). Finally a small white dot on the yellow to represent a reflection and then a gloss varnish coat to give the idea of a wet sheen
