This mini was sort of a challenge because he doesn't have a lot of detail - unlike a character figure, he doesn't have armor, equipment, weapons, or any clothing that you could put patterns on. It would be really easy to make him a uniform red color, which would look bad. Instead, I darkened the deeper parts (such as the lines that define the muscles), drybrushed a lighter color on surfaces that stick out (like the outside of muscles), and did some faded stripes along the tail. The wings were all black, and then I painted the space between the bone-fingers a dark brown (really red + black), which were then drybrushed with true red. The base is painted shades of gray and brown, and then flocked with brown flocking.

This miniature is for my friend Jason.
