Tiny Monsters: A Garden of Forking Paths

 Sandru is a retired adventurer, running wagons from Triel to Baldur's Gate, and is killing it.  He seems like a happy guy--and a little bit of a shorty.   I made him blond-ish and tan--because he parties it the sun.

Ok, this is by far my biggest "mini" so far.  Large is right.  This was really intimidating, and I had to approach the painting over several months.  I really messed it up at one point, but now I'm really happy with this guy. The Godzilla shot, from behind the sign board.  He is literally bigger than a house! He's just so big, he could pick up humans in his hands like a Popsicle.   He doesn't even need his chlorine gas breath weapon. The wings came out nicely.  I didn't even know how to strategize the painting so I just started slopping wash after wash.  I think if I had Brush "painted" it would've been ugly.  I really see the value of an airbrush for projects this size after a couple months He is originally a Bronze dragon, but I wanted a Green Dragon for my story--swampy forest is his home.  Yes, yes, green dragons have a frilly dorsal fin along their back and head.  I know. Its hard to get the scale

This is the first thing I wanted to paint from the Dunkeldorf Kickstarter last year--it takes like a year!  Yes, that's Godzilla in the background  All of the signs are individual bits, so I had to paint and "write" them separately before gluing them Only now do I think I could do a little better on the signs--I special ordered a .03mm pen for this--that's so tiny its hard to see a single line.   Of course the producers made really good ones.  Man I really want to re-do those now that I'm comparing them side by side.
