Almost finished with this guy, just need to clean up a lot of my sins. Turns out resin hates me because if I even walk by my workstation this thing breaks apart.

Here's another blurry picture:

Yeah, that's where all the cleanup comes in. I tried to stiple them on one by one but I wasn't getting a satisfactory random effect. I tried tapping a paintbrush on my finger but I was getting big blobs in places, so I settled for a toothbrush.

I flicked on one layer of stars, then sprayed some more false color nebula stuff, then another layer of stars. It still looked a little off, so I painted on some lens spikes which I think worked great. I know it's objectively scientifically wrong but it just 'feels' right to me :)

Ummm excuse me, the stars on your big fuckoff dragon are scientifically inaccurate.

Yeah flicking is about the only way that works for me too. You sprayed on the nebula colors with an airbrush then?

Clearly it's just magic

Yup. Sprayed white in random patterns first, then vallejo transparent colors, all super thinned
