Hey, Im need help with getting a nice colour scheme for my drake and dragon

me and my friend were thinking of a blue type scheme for the drake w/ ice blue highlights (similar to this: http://www.coolminiornot.com/224664 ), and the cave drakes colour scheme for the dragon.
before the painting starts i want to see other painting schemes that people have done. could you guys link me to some pics of some that you have done? or give suggestions for other colour schemes

cheers

I think you can say it if you remove the 'k' in it :P
pics is the correct word if not mistaking, otherwise I'm using it wrong for a long time :P
anyway, here is a picture of my dragon I made for the diorama for my girlfriend's birthday, I also have a stripped dragon wich I'll be painting black with some grey and silver colours wich will match with the board of Moria that I'm building (if it'll ever finish). :P

hope you like him and that it'll bring you some ideas ;)

cheers, I think ill still go with the drake colour scheme for the dragon (some some better highlights) andn the drake is still going to be blue, but darker in general w/ teh ice blue highlights.
although i havnt changed my mind much your pics are still a great help, so if you want to share your pics feel free still :-D

I think it is best start the dragon with a basecoat of ice blue and then darken it with much washes because the darker blues like enchanted blue don't compare with ice blue because ice blue also had other paints mixed in.

Look at colours on real lizards and snakes. Plenty of inspiration to be found in creation. :)

I think this one is pretty cool:
