This is technically not my 1st time painting a printed model. I painted a hoarding bug 2 years ago, but it was just the eyes.

The printing was the easy part: some expired resin in a Creality Halot Mage Pro and after 4 hours this came out. Though when removing the supports, I snapped a bit of the wing and a horn, might need to not use side cutters next time... I then spritzed it with IPA and cured it inside a toaster oven with a UV lamp pointing into it.

Then came the painting. The rock wasn't hard, but doing the dragon was tricky after doing finer details. Hypermobility doesn't make this easy for me. I had to coat over some areas I hit with the wrong color around the eyes, and my brush wasn't exactly a very fine tip. I was drying the paint with a heat gun once done with a layer, and not a lighter as I find those hard to ignite.

As for colors: I mostly mixed in black resin ink with white paint for the rock and it was watery when I did that, unaltered blue for the dragon, 3:1 white:blue for the wing accent. ~3:5 black:blue for the chest scales and under the tail, unaltered white for the sclera and horns, and unaltered black for the iris'

here's the model I painted for reference: https://thangs.com/designer/TriDime.....Dragon-1274323 Also disregard the white border, I have a Z fold 5 and took the photo in portrait mode with it folded out, but upon uploading it, it ended up on its side. So I had to correct it in Canva.
