| | Very cool. This and others have convinced me to try some repaints. Just asked for a basic set of paints & brushes for my birthday! [:D] | |

| | Very nice. However, it does look like it could use a bit more red mixed in with all of the orange-red. | |

| Thanks! [:I] Will definitely add another orange and probably an outer red layer for the next one. considering making one a water elemental after talking to a friend. Might have to stock up on more air elementals now!

| | Madda...can do. base was painted a bright orange and allowed to dry. Then drybrushed with gray, then again with black. Next time might go a lighter orange. Need to redo my harbinger fire elemental base now! and cmon, what do you think all those extra wrackspawn are for if not to experiment painting on? | |

| Thokk.
Sweet!
It think it's funny that the sculpt looks more like a Water or Fire elemental than Air. | |

| It's the Generic-elemental. [:D]
As opposed to the Geriatic elemental which is made up of senior citizens. [:p] | |

| I've been thinking about cutting the air elemental off it's base and turning it over and then putting it back on its base. Then it might look more like a tornado/air elemental.
Still haven't started painting, but will begin this fall I think. | |

| | This is awsome. Reminds me of Darkfathers convertion of a medium fire elemental to a Christmas Elemental. It is on his site. Very funny, must see. | |

| | Madda...yes, it is essentially small rocks. Flock if you know what that is. Medium and large mixed. Cover in glue and dip in. Then painted over. Recently got a big bucket of an epoxy that dries rock hard at gencon, so will be experimenting with that! Any more, feel free to ask | |

| Great job. That looks great.
There was also the great ice cream elemental that I think Runelord did, can't remember. Good stuff too. | |

| Nice job on that conversion Thokk!
The only suggestion I would make is to darken the flames more at the tips. I would use either a deep red, or a dark brown (if I wanted oily smokey fire).
Here's a good example (no it's not one of mine - I only wish I was this good!)

| | Thanks runelord. While the link might be dead I have seen his stuff before. That lava dragon GLOWS!! Trying to get some more air elementals so I have enough left after another conversion or two. I had thought about doing the red at the tips...or maybe a red brown. Will post when done... | |

| Other repainting ideas for the air elemental:
Smoke Paraelemental
Ice Paraelemental
Living Spells (many)
In addition, it forms a nice 'skeleton' for you to build a roper around ... although it seems kind of a waste at this point ... | |
