This is the High Elf Dragonlord which I started converting in 2010. Working on it went on and off until I finally decided to finish it in 2013. This has been the piece that has roamed my workbench the longest so finishing it brought me a lot of peace. He will be one of the most important pieces in my High Elf Army.

The Dragonlord went to Golden Demon Germany 2013 and won Gold in the Fantasy Monster category, the one where competition was probably the hardest. There are many people who I should thank for helping me greatly during the process of making it happen. I want to thank you all: the initial ideas and poses by Azotitos(Lord_azoth), the inestimable advice and help with the base by Jorge Valdés (lord_jasegev), the motivation, endurance and support from both my roomates Mike Young and Luis Alonso, the neverending and valuable council and help from master Elias Alonso (Morsi) and the essential emotional support of Mary Williams. And of course, each and everyone of you who followed the WIP article all those months, readers and commenters of the Internet. You guys made it possible. Thank you.
And now some pics of details which should not be missed (the following photos are not clickable for super high resolution, remember to click on the pics above for that):

How cool is this. Amazing, I really enjoy the atmosphere and the way you played with colors. Would be great to see it in real :-).
Thank you CMDante! I don't know what will be the next big thing... I have to think about it! :P
Quentin, thanks my friend! You will most probably see it live. ;)
Great work on it, and a much deserved gold at the GD! Congrats once more!
Looks great, man! Thanks for taking the time to document and explain how you build this masterpiece.
Btw: I was really surprised when I saw (rather hear) you speaking excellent english on the PaintingBuddha DVDs. For a Spaniard (and no offense to Spaniards is meant) you speak very good English.
Incredible! Having followed your progress on this, I have to say that Gold was fully deserved. 10/10
