In addition to making dragons for your favorite tabletop RPGs, I’m Also an instructor at the Watts Atelier, where I channel my love of wildlife into teaching traditional painting. Here’s a Grey Wolf in oils, done as an in-class demo for my students, to show the importance of a solid lay in.

Yep, those are sculpted from my concept art! Also, all of the metallic (except the gold, I was designing the gargantuan Red Dragon Balagos at the time). Keep an eye on my posts, I’ll share them all eventually. Great setup, by the way, they look fantastic together!

Thanks so much! Certainly was an honor being asked to figure out the anatomy and design for this iconic Queen.

Right?? I think the main issue was a problem in factory production/model stability at that size. Glad to hear you have her displayed with the chromatics; those 5 were the very first official D&D miniatures I designed
