After going on an on about how awesome these dragons are and how I'd like to paint them for D&D, I actually got a box in return for a unique Robb Stark miniature. I decided to paint them as close as possible to the originals, as in: white, black and green young dragons. I used this wiki as reference for how they should look.
Priming
Get fancy. Prime the green dragon Wraithbone, and the other two black and white.
Painting individual dragons
I very much enjoyed Rhaegal's paintjob, so I replicated it here: Striking Scorpion base, then feather layers of Aeldari Emerald. I basically did the same for the white dragon: Apothecary White base, Gryph Charger Grey layers.
That is where the green dragon ends.
Prepare the white dragon's base for Ice base.
Drybrush everything all at once white. I then blended the ends of the wings Magos Purple, but forgot to take a picture.
Again inspired by Drogon, I drybrushed the scales a turqoise progression. Looking at black dragons from the Forgotten Realms, I dryrbushed the belly Heavy Goldbrown, and the ends of the wings Sick Green.
Paint everything Nuln Oil.
Painting common elements
Red eyes, Monstrous mouth with black teeth and Rugged wasteland base (except the white dragon).
Basing
Stick on some greenery as per Woodland base for the green dragon.
Glue on green and blue moss for the black dragon, going for a swamp base.
Pour in the UV resin!
A bit clear though, so I did a layer of Athonian Camoshade. It only made it cloudy. A layer of Plaguebearer Flesh was better, but still too cloudy. A layer of gloss varnish over it all made it just right.
Also paint the wash halfways across the rocks and feather out, for that mossy look.
