Dragon of Melnibone - Leathery Brown Legs

Part 4 After the bone white highlight

Step 6. The final highlight uses Derivan Desert stone which is basically a bone white on the claw wrinkles

Step 7. To finish off these leathery brown parts of the dragon, I washed over all of the areas using a 1 in 8 solution of Ecoline 245 ink.

Step 8. As a bit of an afterthought, I decided to redo a highlight of Derivan Desert stone on the claw wrinkles.

Part 3

Step 4. For this layer I used Derivan Skin Tone Mid + Vallejo Tan Yellow. As ever, I cover less area with each highlight.

Step 5. Nearly there! This time a highlight with pure Vallejo Tan Yellow

Part 2

Golfrag Brown base layer

Step 2. I’ve given everything a light coat of GW Golfrag Brown, leaving the deeper recesses as is. This is one of their dry-brush formulations but I didn’t let that stop me!

With a glaze of Derivan Mid Skin Tone

Step 3. I used Derivan Skin Tone Mid to glaze the pure GW Golfrag Brown. As usual, I left some of the previous layer showing so that the highlights will build up.

The legs before the upgrade

With the green and golden scales are now complete, it’s onto the dragon’s legs and the fingers of the wings. They look okay in the photos but in real life show some wear and tear. I um-ed and ah-ed about changing colour completely but in the end I think that the light brown tone go well with the colours of the scales.

Part 1

After the ink wash

Step 1. I applied a wash of 25% solution of Ecoline 245 ink, the same one I used on the golden scales. The aim being to give a consistent base colour.
