every dragon has been a banger after banger!

You paint the models so well, but goddamn are your bases on a whole 'nother level of impressive

Lovely work. Thank you.

I really do like the way the base turned out. Especially the addition of the frothy wave tops.

Guy gets halfway done with the dragon and I am like "Wow, that looks amazin.... oh, there's more?" Same for the base too. Lol. Blew me away.

I just got this one myself. I plan to use your video as a guide!

Greeting lovely people! Please continue helping me as I try my best to paint the five chromatic Dragons for D&D! What sort of color do you want on your wings for the Blue Dragon? Please tell me in the comments below! If you want to see the other Young Dragons then have a look at this playlist: kzfaq.info/sun/PLIPnVHPmyThqgjYHJpTnk-hbZpVWUsx9Q Lots of love! Stay safe! 💙💛💙

This mis my favorite chromatic Dragon! Now I'm ready to paint it, thanks to you! Thanks a lot man!

Heya Leif, thanks for the video. Bought this model last week and was looking for an example, as a beginner I'm in awe 🤘😁

It came out so good but I prefer fire coming out. But I sure love your dragons.

Loved it. Thanks for doing these videos.

@Devs & Dice Thank you for making these turtorials. I am using them to paint the Gargantuan Tiamat "mini". As of writing this comment I have done the Green and Blue heads.

It turned out really great. I love the water effect.

Just came across this video. Awesome work :)

absolutely love the way this turned out Leif, the beach for the base was a great way to make this model pop.

Another amazing video bro, I love watching you make bases!

Not a fan of blue dragons myself (lore or head design), but your work on the miniature is fantastic as always. The basing is incredible, sir! Keep up the great work.

That beachfront base!!! Part of me wants to just quit mini painting after watching this video. I thought the green dragon one was fantastic, but this... I can see how working on one of the bigger dragons would be an awesome gift for someone; so much creative energy in painting a fantastic mini, plus the outstanding renovations to the base. I’m blown away.

You knocked (flew?) this one out of the park! Great wing coloring decision, would have done it the same way and the base was just perfection. Can’t wait forcthe next one...having seen a teaser of it! oO

Awesome dragon and I love the water and the waves!

WOW, That looks amazing!! Great job dude.

Great video Leif. My favorite dragon so far. Fantastic work on the base too, looks amazing!

I just started painting a blue dragon mini I found on Etsy. I’ve been pouring over all the old images from the forgotten realms wiki and elsewhere trying to find the color I want. I think your video is just about exactly what I’m looking for. The color scheme you’ve used strikes me as the classic blue dragon. I also like the lighter under wings and the blue outer wings. And the base is epic!

This for me was the best one so far,Keep up the good work..

With the lighting of the ferocious Blue Dragon you have brought my heart back to Leif! My God this is the best one yet. I want him so damn bad D: Wonderful job Leif!

Thats the best base I’ve seen yet!

Well done. I like the transitions in the blues.

The basing is so good! What agreat work and nice mini!

Very well executed but I feel you could have added a little more detail and texture to the dragon to really make come alive also very well done on the base!! Those waves turned really well

This base is sick good.

Great end result friend. From your intro I thought the catastrophe was going to be much more dramatic! Good job painting the dragon to life =)

Awesome work

Epic base!

Looks really good... However I am from the other side wings.. The color change was meant as a counter camouflage sand side up ( looking down blends with ground ) blue side down, looking up blends with the sky airplanes in WWII used to paint their planes in this fashion and some countries still do.

If you are going to do more series. I would recommend the nolzur giants. Is not many giant tutorials out there Great video and mini Edit: i really liked the dessert yellow where you painted it

I do like the colour scheme of the dragon and especially your base idea! The blue tones are pleasing. Your video inspires me to try water effects on my own models. Never did that before! Your dragon looks magnificent, but you could spice it up a bit with a lil bit of seasoning; I would recommend to get some Vallejo Black Ink (or an equivalent) and work it into the eye sockets and then give the eyes a highlight of an off-white and lastly an extreme highlight of pure white. This should make the eyes really pop out and draw more focus onto his beautiful scaly face. And if you would color the teeth like his horn he would be striking! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany!

Really like this series, looks awesome!

I love the paint job, but I will let you know the reason the underside of a blue dragon's wings are blue is so it is harder to spot when flying overhead. I am a huge fan of artists changing color schemes to fit the artists ideal look, however, and I think the brown underneath looks incredible.

I like the overall color scheme. I feel like the blue top membrane with the brown underside looks good but I think I will paint mine blue on both sides.

I don't know Leif, you paint a damn good figure! But the freaking bases you do are ingenious! I took my white dragon and redid the base similar to the one you did. After you finish up on the dragons, can you do a baseing video?

Im a bit disapointed, you forgeting to start the camera was a perfect setup for the "vasken" proverb. Hehehe. Awsome work as allways Leif. Keep it up bro.

What an incredible result! I'm loving the series! You have a new subscriber from my channel!

This is really helpful. I recently got a Blue Dragon Wyrmling and was curious what I paint the fleshy bits like the wings and belly.

I agree, you should've saved the beach-themed base for a Young Bronze Dragon. Blue Dragons are desert dwellers.

Wow this is awesome holy inspiration! Hey do you paint any warhammer? I know you did the squig challenge but anything else?

Thank you for sticking mostly with one brand of paint. It makes it easier to make a shopping list. Can you put a complete list of the paints used in the description?

Could you do some with smaller miniatures, player characters and whatnot?

Hi Leif! The blue dragon is my favourite D&d monster ever and you definitely did an awesome job! I recently added this model to my collection too. Do you think a two part epoxy glue could be a decent substitute for the water effects? Also, do you think it’s possible to dilute a strong tone to make a mid tone wash?

Once again a incredible job, base is awesome....what would you recommend if I don't have a air gun for the lighting? (and really wishing I did) Thanks!

I like the water effects. How did you get the crests?

I love the dragon and the base. But I wish you didn't put a blue dragon on the sea coast. Blue dragons live in the desert for the most part and the beaches are more of bronze dragon territory. But I guess the desert could be connected to the ocean. But I'm not extremely happy about it. I still love the way it looks though

Leif, Have you seen that Wizkids is releasing another Young Blue Dragon with a different base this sumner? Do you know why they are changing it? I got really confused when I saw the preview.

Know where I can get the base for this mini? I bought mine and noticed when I got home after opening it that it didn't come with the actual rising base for the dragon.

Why are the bases huge when young dragons are large?

Amazing job. But I'm just getting pissed off watching it. It's such great work. I hate my skills.

You guys always lose me at airbrush

Great job (again!). Can you give some info on the UV resin and light? From looking on Amazon I see a TaoTronics light that resembles yours. Thanks!
