| I started working on these a few weeks before WOTC posted that they were actually making a Dragon Wroght Kobold. It has been an ongoing project for weeks now. I got pictures done, but I still may add some finishing touches yet. Ideas anyone?
Edited May 18th - scroll down, I added more pictures at the bottom of this page. Cheers! | |

| The paint on the green one looks a little off compared to the Green Dragon but it still looks cool. The Red is just spectacular.

Yes they are. They were a perfect colour match for the Kobold Champion. When I started this project I couldn't decide which kobold to use, so I went with both. I made a red one because he was sort of red already. The green one was kinda green already too, so I just went with it.

| | Very nice, I like the red champion the best. I think his naturaly hunched over sculpt works perfectly with the wings. He looks like a tiny lil draconian.[:I] | |

| Great work, awesome conversions. The champ is the best of the bunch.
I will say though I'm not ocmpletely sold on the green one. The wings look nice but something about the green painting on the Kobold just doesn't look right. | |

| Not having posted to the crafter's corner, I feel like I have the credibility of a politician convicted of fraud, but here goes. . .
the sculpts are awesome, however, the colours (especially the green) seem a little bright and glossy. Matte sealer? sepia wash? A slightly more olive/khaki tone for the green? Or maybe (as someone who's seen them in person indicated) the camera brightened them up an in person they aren't so bright.

One of my players is playing a kobold sorcerer with a bunch of draconic feats, including wings, these would be near perfect for that. | | | |

| I finally got to get some more paint on these guys, so here is an update. I am still thinking they need more work, but it may take a while before I get back to them.

| Their right the green does look much better now but I still prefer the red. It just looks so cool and the colour seem to go really well (I was always rubbish at art so I don't know if those colours are complimentry or any of that stuff)
Good work keep it up. | |

| | Wow the green one is really sweet. I really like how it looks. Also good job on having him standing next to the green dragon, thats definetely a nice pic. Now how many half-dragon kobolds can there be running around? Maybe even some of different colors.. like a white, black, or blue. | |
