Green Dragon of Melnibone Part 5 - Painting the Rider
 |
| Dyvim Storm before the upgrade |
This set of photos follows the upgrading of the rider, Dyvim Slorm. He’s an add-on to the dragon. I can’t remember the manufacturer but he’s a horseman to which I added a “Broad Bladed” lance. The saddle and saddlecloth are made from Green Stuff.
I haven’t been overly inventive with this section of the process. I pretty much just kept to the original colours and pimped them up a bit. The main changes were changing his clothing to yellow to go with the dragon scales and to paint the detailing on helmet as red gems.

What follows is a quick review of the steps I took for upgrading the rider. Descriptions of each step are below each photo.
I've changed his tunic from blue to yellow
Here I've begun highlighting the yellow on the tunic and the purple saddlecloth. I've also highlighted the leather gloves and saddle.
In this step I finished highlighting the leather gloves and saddle, the yellow tunic as well as the purple saddlecloth. I also gave the metal bits, both gold and steel, a wash with GW Nuln Oil before highlighting them.
A view from the other side.
Dyvim's head is the final step. I fixed up his face, made his hemet black and highlighted it with grey, added some red gems and worked on the top of helmet’s wings. I gave the gold an extra zhuzh. I’ve noticed in the photo that the yellow on the tunic hem needs a little fixing up, I’ll fix that up when I do the final touch-ups at the end of the project.
