Painting Dragon Skin, Eyes and Horns | Dragon Secret Compartment Box Part 4

This dragon hidden storage box design posed some interesting challenges. After struggling for a while I tried first establishing lights and darks with just black and white paint before adding color, and I also switched to airbrushing. The lever which opens the secret compartment was blended into the rest of the scales, and the eyes got a coat of epoxy resin to make them super glossy.
