Dragon wip

[gidgit]

oooh, I likes, I likes... those ribs would look better on my plate though

Seriously this gonna be one mean dragon there bud [thumbs up]

and yea, I dunno bout them claws or forearms yet either, maybe some more muscle on the arms and a smaller digit for one of the digits on the claws.. whatchs think? but the feet really look ok to me Stu, honest, mean like and well ballanced for sure

Cheers Gidge


Ya the feet have quite a bit more tweaking added.


The claws hmmm,I am gonna have one last try there and then start again.


Ya I have all the detail so I dont have to worry about a bump dissapearing if the cmaera gets to close,plus you dont have to worry about using degrees of grey for different degrees of bump extrusion.I am going to spend a week or more texturing it and hopefully be able to do a HDRI render,its gonna look real or as close as I can damn well get it to thats for sure,I am determined on that.

of that I have little doubt Stu, you are one persistant dragon slayer, er builder...

oh, and don't forget the scars and blood eh

Looking really great Stu, I can't believe how much you've progressed on this.

A few crits, all of them minor and constructive:
The head looks heavy, which means the neck must be suitably thick in muscle to support it. Just that jawbone must weigh quite a bit. I think the neck needs a bit more "girth" to support that weight. On to the feet: can the balls-of-the-feet really support the massive weight of this creature? (I'm really asking, I don't know ) He seems as if he might tip over in his present stance, although you've done an awesome job on the muscles in the legs!

Those are just minor crits bud, hopefully to help you towards perfection, do with them what you will.

Yeah, gidgit is right, remember to pock-mark him up when you texture, remember that he is ancient and has been through alot in his existence.

Hi Stu,

I really admire your patience and skill. This will be one kicka$$ dragon when you finish it.

Soquili

[gidgit]

yup

[s.winders]

Soquili thanks for your kind compliments


Gidge - ditto


When I get the dragon the way I want before starting the wings I will do some screen shots of the mesh for yas.


Ok fixed the head,tweaked the jaw,fixed the feet,fixed the neck,worked on the claws {more to do there} added some new neck muscle as I reduced the amount on polys in there today ,so much fun that was
