Mortimer LIVES

At last we come to the end of a long project, and I am tickled pink!  I started the paint job with bright pink, then worked a darker pink purple up towards the heads.  I am always conscious of the eyes first, and to give this guy a really wild look, I used two different sized eyes in each head..  I also like to make em a bit goggle eyed, or wall-eyed.  The upper head is the one that talks and thinks for the beast so he has that sage like expression.  The lower head is the more savage, with the glaring eyes and vicious expression.

Couple of Dragon tips.   Break the tips off a few of the teeth....after all they are always crunching up the peasants property and livestock and fighting other dragons and monsters too!   Painting  a Dragon with 2 different colored eyes (see upper head) gives them a magical look too.
