do you want to take this pic again? Your camera focused on the background rather than the dragon :/
An Adult Golden Dragon watches over its nest in its lair. Small dragons move cautiously as the eggs rest safely under its vigilant gaze. https://imgur.com/a/IZ25Pc8 Hello everyone, this is our first participation. The models are printed in resin with a resolution of 12k and hand-painted! Enjoy!

My first competition entry, the body is printed on a filament printer Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo, head printed on a resin printer Anycubic photonmono 4K. The model was a lot of fun to paint and made my half term holiday more fun. Thanks! https://imgur.com/gallery/iOmAXT2

My dm requested EVERY dragon from the books to start a dragon themed campaign. I thought this one turned out the coolest from the metallics
I based the paint scheme off of a certain Steel Dragon from a certain monster taming game that commands Time - specifically it's Primal form ;) https://imgur.com/a/Pma1mrH

Do you think you’ll do some of the new monsters from the 2025 Monster Manual?
Yes that's what won the recent poll. They won't be complete by the end of this contest though.
