Lord Verminard Dragon Highlord of the Red Wing

Lord Verminaard — Dragon Highlord of the Red Wing
Dragons of Ice

One of Dragonlance's earliest and most memorable villains, reimagined as part of my ongoing Dragons of Ice character series. Verminaard commands the Red Wing under Takhisis, ruling through fear and unwavering cruelty.

This piece explores the character both helmed and unmasked, letting the design read as a genuine commander built for war, ornate skull-motif helm, layered dragon scale armor, fur-trimmed cape, spiked Nightbringer mace, while the unmasked portrait carries the cold menace that makes him work as a villain beyond the armor itself.

Included in this set: final character sheet (masked and unmasked variants), pencil roughs, and a full process breakdown from pencils through flats, rendering, and final light/color pass.
