"... as they descended the irregular steps of the dank and cold cave, a feeling of dread came over our heroes.. 

"-This is not going to end well," muttered Leoric while nervously gripping his newly acquired magical wand.

"-Naah, this is nothing, it's as good as any cave I tell you", said Grisban, appearing easily at home inside this dark and drippy cave.

"-As can be expected of a dw..." Syandrael was about to say, when her speech was interrupted by a low and menacing growl that emanated from the depths, that was followed by a nauseating smell of sulfur and brimstone... 

"-May you bless us with your faith that shall bestow strength and..." As Avric began a familiar incantation the interior of the cave suddenly lit up with a hellish red light whose source seemed to be actually in the throat of a huge red beast... Then with a deafening roar the Dragon opened its jaws and a huge rolling ball of inferno was unleashed towards our heroes...."

These dragons were the largest miniatures I had painted so far. Also being my first dragons they deserved special attention and love. I applied feathering, dry-brushing, layering and all the tricks I had learnt up to this point..   


The Minion Dragon
Minion dragon, being green looked more reptile like and the top-side vs belly transition felt and looked more natural.



The Master Dragon
I guess the colors could have been chosen better and as usual painting red has been a huge challenge.

Also I wish the minis had been textured with scales or at least w,th a rough texture rather than being perfectly smooth.

Underside of the wings were also not totally satisfactory but I wanted to get them ready for our next game so I decided that they had to do...
