He was very difficult to photograph but I tried different lighting and angles to try to capture the variety of colors he possesses.

Decided to try a black griffon using dry metallic pigments.

Sweet. He'd be perfect for a half-demon griffin from the Pathfinder Classic Monsters updated.

Thanks Joe! But I'm sorry, I don't understand - Pathfinder Classic Monsters Updated? I did notice that his tail is in a different position than the griffons now available. I bought him a few years ago but the store in my area has some really old stock. lol! Does anyone know when the griffon was changed?
Thank you joshua!!! I appreciate it!

now that's a very interesting effect you achieved with those metallic paints... I'm not sure if I like it on that particular model, but it sure got me thinking about possible uses. thanks for inspiration!

Thank you Nameless! But just to be clear, I didn't use metallic paint. These are dry metallic pigments - Jacquard to be specific. I applied them dry with a Colour Shaper - if you use a brush, they just go POOF and you have a mess. But the Colour Shapers work great for application. I applied the pigments in layers, sealing each one as I went.

That would be a great effect for dragons... (hint, hint)
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

lol! Thanks Silas and Baphomet!
Dragons eh???
Well in the WIP thread I have going on him, I did mention he was actually a test piece for something else. Exactly what you ask? Well, you'll have to come to ReaperCon to find out.

Kath you have to show me how you did this at ReaperCon. I'm really tempted to try this technique on my Dragon.
