Anyone else think that the base was more poggers than the actual mini.
Well me, but I also focused a lot on the bases when I did my painted my chromatic dragons! ;) Have you checked the other ones?
@@DevsDice currently going through the rest.
Awesome work on the red dragon....
Thank you Stephen! 👍😃
For my favourite...I can't decide between the black and red!! Both the dragons AND the bases are frikkin' amazing! :-)
Thank you so much Kevin! I sort of gravitate towards the blue and black! Thanks I was focusing on the bases a lot in these five videos! 👍😃
This was really helpful when I painted my adult Red Dragon. Love these
That makes me happy to hear! Thanks Hannah! 👍😊
The bases are what really made the dragons in this series. Thanks for sharing.
I am so happy you like them! Thank you for watching! :D
Majestic. for me 1. green, 2. red
Cheers! Yeap green seems to be a favorite among many! :)
I love how genuine all of these videos feel. Keep up the great work :)
Thank you so much Chase! Glad you like them! 👍😊
Hello! I realize I'm late to this party, but these dragon projects were amazing! I wish I had your skill. 🙂I have always had a thing for the green dragons, and I think the green and black ones you did are my favorite, but it was hard to choose. 🙂 Thank you for the videos.
My pleasure John Edgar! Glad to hear that you like them! 👍😃
Like always helping with the tips Im looking for! painting my Adult dragon and these tips helped so much!
My pleasure Stone Slate! Have fun! 👍😊
Great video and paintjob again Leif. It was a wonderful series to follow. Can't wait to see what's next.
Thank you my friend! Yeah I wonder what comes next.... ;)
This series was terrific! I especially liked the blue and black dragons, those came out incredibly well.
Thank you kindly! Yeah I think I really loved the Black one especially, the environment was the most interesting. The blue was cool too but man that Blue dragon was a pain to paint! :D
5th and final and it looks the part. Great paint job as usual.
Thank you so much! Yeah feel great to have these five videos done now! :)
First to like and comment, hello from Belgium, keep on doing such great videos.
Hello back from Sweden Daniel! :) Merci beaucoup! I will try! :D
Love it well done
Thank you! Yeah kind of happy with all of my chromatic dragons! :D
Awesome series. Loved your take on painting the chromatic dragons. Now to do the metallic ones! LOL
Thank you so much Chester! Yeah hahaha! I am going to take a break from Dragons for a while now! But I will at some point paint the metallic dragons for sure! :D Thanks for the nice comment!🤘
Awesome job
Cheers Frank! 👍😁
In Poland we have a similiar one, "Gdzie kucharek sześć, tam nie ma co jeść", which translates to - "Where there are six cooks, there is nothing to eat".
Haha yeah seems like a lot of languages have their own versions! Love it! :D
First! Every new "Boxes of Shame" video breaths Leif into me just like you breathed Leif into that fierce red dragon! Soon he shall become an ancient dragon and all Leif in the area will know the power of "Friherre Slagg de
Brinnande
Död" ! I hope I got that right xD
Hahahaha! What the hell!? Freelord of the burning death? :D
@@DevsDice Damn you google translate. It was supposed to say Lord Cinder the Burning Death xD
Hahaha! One does not simply google translate epic titles :D
@@DevsDice I took a gamble and alas I lost at Leif hahaha
You know I think Rocky said something like that..."nobody hits as hard as Leif"...right? :P
I honestly love all of them! You build on your previous experiences each time and the improvement shows!
Thank you so much Robert! Thank you for the nice comment! :D
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much! :) Thanks also for commenting! :)
Checking out this video for reference as I'm actually using the young black dragon mini to paint a red dragon supervillain, I enjoy watching miniature painting minis to help me into painting them, I mostly suck at doing this because I have shake hands but it's a really fun productive hobby, keep up the good work
That's good to hear that these videos inspire at least a bit! 👍😊
In one word, incredible! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Haegeth! My pleasure! :D
This is the one I've been waiting for.
Haha! The ruler of dragons! It was a good mini! Favorite for me was the black though! :)
Great series mate a lot of hard work has gone into them to pump them out. I have no idea what one I like the most as they all seem to have their own story.
Thanks Nate! Yeah you have seen it almost first hand! Thank you so much buddy! 💙💛💙
All of the dragons are great, but the base on the green knocks it out of the park. Just seriously head and shoulders above great. Purely amazing.
Hahaha! Thanks Andrew! I personally like the black and blue but it's more that I did something more new to me I think :) Thanks for the nice comment!
Um, I meant the black dragon. That swamp. Utterly dazzling.
@@andrewfarrington6927 Haha! Alrighty then! Then we agree! :D
Awesome and far better detailed, as always. In my paint of the Young Red Dragon, I actually went with black and dark blue highlights, to give it that "burned metal" look that the guide says it has.
The base I made to look like a lava field, mostly obsidian black with red, orange, and yellow fluorescent pain in the cracks and crevices that really glow like lava under blacklight. To top it off, I actually glued a light dusting of ashes to the base.
I also used the fluorescent paint for the fireball from it's mouth so that it'll glow too.
That sounds awesome! :)
Nice painting. Like the dragon series
Thank you so much for saying so! :)
Great video this has given me some inspiration to paint my red dragon. Love your work!
That's awesome to hear! Always glad to help! Thank you so much for the comment! :)
My favourite? My heart will always belong to the black dragon!
Good choice! I am willing to agree on that one! :D
My old party actually had a black dragon wymling as a pet
This is my favorite, thank you for your videos, always a pleasure to see your videos
Thank you I am glad you like it! :D
I just found your channel, and I just started painting miniatures. You really have a great eye for it all. The ultimate crown jewel would be to paint a miniature of Tiamat!
Well hello and welcome to my humble CZcams channel! Thank you so much for the nice words! :D I actually do have the Reaper version of Tiamat which I am saving up to paint some day! :D
This is fantastic! I just wish you'd shared how you did the fireball.
I used some transparent inks, in this case yellow and red! 👍😊
great video! painting along and its looking good! One thing though, you didn't show how to paint the fireball (hint, I've never done one..lol). Moving on to the blue dragon next!...Thanks so much for your hard work!
Right! I think I used some inks or such through an airbrush. Similar to how I painted the Gelatinous Cube! 👍🙂
Its kindof cool how the dragon is missing a piece of armor scale in the center of the chest. I know its because of the stand, but could it be, hmmm, Smaug?
Hahahaha! It very much could be! 😉👍
Really enjoyed this video now to watch the other 4, lol, I am always doing things a little different, I guess
Haha! Yes please have a look at them as well! They should be in a separate playlist for your convenience! Thank you so much for the nice comment! :D
Looks amazing! I'm going to paint a red dragon too, it's for a friend, hope it looks this good in the end.
Thank you kindly! That's nice of you! Just take it step by step and I am sure the result will be great! :)
Lief, will you be working through the metallic dragons at any time? You have done the best takes I've seen on the chromatics and I'd love to see what you would do with them.
I will at some point but when I do not know! Sorry! 👍😊
Wow that looks awesome!! I love how all the dragons turned out. I also painted the red dragon as well. Tho... I painted it white because I already had a red one. But amazing work man, keep it up.
Thank you so much James! Yeah I will keep up the videos but I am going to take a break from Dragons now and venture into something...different! :) Thanks for the nice comment! Btw, a white "red" dragon sounds evil man! :D
Leif you proverb spiting viking, what will you do now? I got a feeling just swedish peoverbs wont put food on the table. Awsome work as allways.
The black dragon is my favorite might be because of the transparent flightsimulator thingy wasnt as obious as the rest of them and the sculpt was awsome... and you almost made chantarells. If you got any Paul Bonner inspierd sculpts in that pile of shame id love to see that. But you do you and who lives,will see(a fitting swedish proverb in these times of the Rona.)
Haha none of this really puts food on my table man! I am doing this because I love painting minis, crafting terrain, making videos and sharing to people! Oh I have some plans. It will be a while though until I paint another dragon I think! :D
@@DevsDice dude i totaly understand I paint one or two of a unit type and then im borred and want to paint some thing new. Ive only been back at painting for 3 or 4 months and ive got a pile of shame thats growing might have to start my own channel to force myself to paint them
Yeah it's kind of worked for me. Sure I spend a couple of days editing but at least I paint somewhat regularly! :D Do it!
@@DevsDice nahh no one wants to see me cursing and calling my paints elaborate often x-rated names, the youtube algoritm would have a stroke i wouldnt get demoniticed id have to pay to put content on youtube. But it might be a good way to keep track of my paint recipes since i tend to mix my own and if i ever get back to painting those other units it would help knowing how many drops of demonic yellow whent in to those 5 dropps of greenskin green with 3 drops of leatherbrown when i mixed it the first time.
Haha! I would watch that! :D
I give it a perfect 10 and 2👍👍 from top to bottom! Your best yet Leif!! The Metallics are next right?
Hahahaha! Thanks John! Yeah at some point I will do the metallic dragons but for now I am going to take a break from Dragons! I have two new kinds of videos in the planning, then back on and off to minipainting! :)
@@DevsDice Alright Leif, ill hold you to it brother. So looking forward to the Awesome future for devs &Dice 🎲 Until the next, you and your family stay safe 👍
Of course man! I always keep my promises! :D
@@DevsDice 🙂🤘
DAS still exists? I haven’t seen that stuff since I was a kid in the 70’s. I remember using it to create a Martian landscape diorama for a school project. Regarding your mini, it’s exquisite as always. I love the black at the edges of the beautifully highlighted red. I’m working on the Shimmergloom Shadow Dragon mini from a friend’s Legend of Drizzt game, so I may use the painting techniques for this one, but with purples and dark greys. Do you layer multiple colours for the transparent breath weapon piece? Lastly, I don’t know which of the chromatic dragons is my favourite: green, probably then red. The bases with the added waterfronts are epic, so the blue and black are also great. I hope that doesn’t sound like I dislike your white dragon.
Apparently it does! I picked it up like a year ago or such? Thanks for the nice comment! Regarding the transparent bit I just shot some transparent yellow in at it and then some red! Haha! Everyone dislikes the White Dragon ;)
Devs & Dice - It’s like picking a favourite child. Apologies for being dragon racist. Stay safe and well. 🖖
Hahahaha! I agree completely! :D
Beautiful. How did you paint the fire?
Thanks Scott! I used some inks since I wanted to retain the transparency! 👍😊
I absolutely love this series and your dragon is beautiful. The coloration on the breast plates is phenomenal, but the jarring red-to-black on the wings really detracts from the piece. I think a smooth fade would make it look a lot less awkward. Otherwise your work is great and your bases are super cool!
Yeah that might look better actually! Thanks for the nice comment and feedback! :D
I have a suggestion, will you paint the father dagon from reaper mini's?
Haha! Yeap I will at some time. Not sure when though! Thanks for commenting! :)
Nice job. I bought the young red dragon today at my local shop and thought "I wonder if Leif has painted this one?". I liked the green one best, but probably because I painted that one!
I have a question, did you use neon paints for the fire breath?
Thank you kindly Dan! No I seems to remember that I just used normal acrylic paint. I might have used some inks to punch in the saturation! :)
@@DevsDice Thanks! I am going to try neon plus ink plus gloss varnish
I can always tone it down afterward :)
That sounds awesome Dan! Go for it!!! :)
We have same in English bro. To many cooks spoil the broth. LOL So when will you do Father Dagon for me? lol
Hahaha! Never heard that one to be honest! I will do Father Dagon when I feel like to be honest but I have my mind set on a couple of things before I handle him. Are you going to ask me every video I release? :P
For me, I have to feel for the miniature, otherwise it won't do the model justice. Hope you understand. I will paint it, but I don't know exactly when. :) Thanks for commenting!
@@DevsDice The version I was taught was "Too many cooks in the kitchen spoils the pot." But the message is the same.
will you be doing the metallic dragons any time soon?
It WAS my plan but honestly I am not sure, I would not expect it! Sorry! 👍🤔
Great video. Attempted this but some of my paints werent matching what u did in video. They are the dnd sets but they are the same. Whats the 100% color match mean on ur bottles
Thank you kindly! The 100% Match just means that The Army Painter has these colors as aerosol primers and that the two colors are guaranteed to match each other! :)
Hey Leif!! Currently making my first base. What video or can you tell me how you made the black brown wash?
That's awesome man! Yeah I did the wash in the Green dragon video! Good luck! And if you don't have any flow improver then you can use a drop of dish detergent! :D
Is there a final list of all of the paints you used for this dragon?
I do not think so sorry. 👍🤔
I think its called scales
Haha! Right! Thanks! :D
How do you prepare your paints for the airbrush?
Good question Jsaints_Custom_Art! I thin them using airbrush thinner and the exact amount is something that is relative to the paint, your pressure, your airbrush and how close/far you're painting from the model. So it's one of those things that you need to try and learn eventually! 👍😊
I will have to experiment with some airbrush thinner in the near future. Thank you!
What's that 75mm scale or larger looks expensive and huge
Well this is a D&D miniature and hence one looks at the base size which is a "large" one i.e. 3x3 inches I think! 👍😅
@@DevsDice Yes, i just got the 32mm scale Death Dragon with rider, that's nit as big as this (on FB Scale Model Anything) and about 4 inches tall and 6 or so inches wide, D&D and really good detail
Hi There Wow so I watched so of your videos and this one. I got one of these Dragons Young Black Dragons. I'm a first timers. I got a Army Painter starter Set. I would like make a Red Fleshy Dragon I have Pure Red and Barbarian Flesh and Strong Tone. I was thinking to use the Barbarian Flesh for the base cote first then the Pure Red and do a dry brush then use the Strong Tone. Would that work? Please Help me if you can. Thanks
Hey Vincent! So I would say that works fine except one thing. Doing a drybrush with pure red will essentially means that the high points in the dragon will be red while the shadow areas would remain barbarian flesh colored. If that is what you want then go for it! :D Strong Tone is a brown wash which will in some ways desaturate the colors (as washes tend to do). I have to say that to answer this with confidence I need to understand what you are going for in detail :D
@@DevsDice Hay thanks. So like it is my first time doing this So I do not really know exactly what I'm doing. I'm thinking and trying to Have a some what dark red Dragon with a Fleshy sort of look. something like this i.redd.it/k3ovubc9s1y31.jpg Okay thanks for your help.
But how did you get in where the wings are super close together 😭 no one has given me that pro tip lol
I used some boiling hot water to soften the wings, bend them outwards and then hold them in place while you pour cool water on them! Was a long time ago but memory is this at least! 👍😂
@@DevsDice thank you so much!!! Been trying to find an answer lol. Whole dragon done but the darn wings lol
Man, could you please give me an advice? I wanted to start painting this dragon, but my chaotic red looks really really brown, not red at all! Looks more like burnt umber than red. Is that normal? Could my paint be defective? I wouldn't want to end up with a young brown dragon :p
Make sure that you shake the bottle but yes the Chaotic Red is a brown red color and it will be essentially the shadows. So I think it's fairly normal just make sure that you have good coverage and I believe you will be fine! 👍
Alright, I'll give it a try! Thank you very much! I very much appreciate it!
No problem! :)
an nail polish shaker with 2 mixing balls in bottle for 3 min shake works great it what I use
Looks like a *burnt* dragon, even perhaps an old dragon, not a red dragon or young red dragon.
Thanks for commenting Google User! 👍😆
"Viele Köche verderben den Brei" in German ;)
Ahh ehh das is gudt! :) My German is unfortunately rusty but I think I would still pick it up relatively quickly. It's close to Swedish and I don't mind making a fool of myself = recipe for learning fast :D
@@DevsDice I once started to learn Swedish - it's often similar. Easy to learn for Germans. :)
That's cool! In school or? Swedish seems a bit niche for education ? 😂 We're barely 9 million people here I think!
@@DevsDice na, just personal with an App because of a guy I knew via Instagram, hahaha :D
Haha! Well as good a reason as any! ;)
Aaaaaagh there should not be snow!!!!
Why not? According to my sources they like to sit on high mountains and survey their domain. :)
@@DevsDice yes mountainous terrain but such as badlands which are dry. But you still did an AMAZING job on the red dragon and all of the others. My personal favorite would have to be the green dragon though the little lizard seemed out of place🤣
Aha I see. Weird, I have seen plenty of art with Red Dragons in snow-covered mountain tops. :) Ah well I think it turned out well! :D
more or less
Thank you I think? 👍🤣
