Anyway, it's here now, no harm no foul.  For the past two weeks we've been looking at one of the starter Mystlings for the new game Dragon Eclipse. This week we're looking at the other one: Young Iceling! I mentioned before, that my wife would be taming Young Emberling for her starter Mystling, so this one is mine! From an Electric Blue base coat, I painted his skin with Nighthaunt Gloom. I then gave more definition to the crystalline bits (nose, head frill, wings, belly) with Contr...
