I had this miniature D&D Dragon which i painted, but it's always in the habit of breaking apart. Sooo i decided to try and model it as close as possible, though a bit more realistic, and put it back together on computer! C 'n C are good, so keep them coming!http://www.csupomona.edu/~egkopin/lightwave/dragon2.jpg

Heh, I was going to comment on the legs going the wrong way but looks like you've got that under control ;)

I'm sure you already know, but the chest/abs look awfully sharp. In fact, I didn't know dragons had abs.. usually that just have some kind of plates there :) I'd like to see this rigged, as it's in a pretty awkward pose right now.

yes, I'm going to rig it into the position the miniature is in when finished. the abs are almost exactly what are on the mini, so I'm going to leave them mostly as they are except to smooth them just a bit. besides, there are so many types of dragons....youwouldn't expect a faerie dragon to have plates would you? :-p.

Just a small update on coloring and texturing. I haven't been able to think of any real good ideas so its just been stagnating :(http://www.csupomona.edu/~egkopin/lightwave/dragon10.jpg
