WIP-Dragon

[EighthDecay]

looking good, keep at it,, where is the head,, have you started it yet,, Reign of Fire Dragons were sure cool, yours is getting there.

[r0bal]

Hey! Where didthe head go? Hope to see it soon. BW it looks great!:thumbsup:

[tal flint]

no head yet.i want to finish the body and wings first

[.overflowed]

It looks good so far. Maybe to slim but maybe I'm conservative (is that word in english?)

Waiting 4 head :)

[tal flint]

a small body update

hopefully i will have the wings done by tommorow.

[RiVeN]

i don't like the tail, too straight and whatnot... but maybe u planned on changing that... i'm new to all this stuff, i dont even have a 3d program yet lol, but the stuff you guys make is amazing, and i really want to learn... anyone got suggestions on how to go about starting with 3d designing? i'm somewhat experienced with photoshop...

but yea, i like him... tails need some work i think, kinda plain, but other than that nice

[tal flint]

the tail is streight bexouse i didn't rig the body yet - i first finish the model,texture it and then start with the rig.i promise that it won't be so streight in the animation :)
i will add some more details to it in the mesh itself but a lot of details will be added with textures.

I like the model except the front legs. They look like hands, they have musculature like hands and the dragins don't have hands, they have four legs. but they use the front legs as hands sometimes.
And I'l be waiting to see the wings :thumbsup:

[tal flint]

here's the first wings update.
still working on the body conection

[Michael Chen]

Interesting, but the dragon seems a bit too stiff on the tail (probably just the pose).

Have you started on the head?

It's definitly slim and muscular

[tal flint]

no - no head yet.
and it looks stiff becouse ther is no skeleton yet.

[tal flint]

did some more work on the wings and body.

[Gregwid]

Looking pretty good,keep going.:wip: :)

[mrmark]

very nice keep it up

[tal flint]

added some more detail to the wings connection.

[BiTMAP]

you feet to me seem to heavy, I'd go for more of a tucked leg (or perhaps only forclaws with a snake back body and wings?).

[HapZungLam]

It will be great if you have the knee bone modeled out. i understand you are still in progress. i am looking forward to it :bounce:

[MaskTX]

:thumbsup: Love this one! I believe u will finish it! Will be great to see it! :wip: :beer:

[MaskTX]

Show us wire also!

[tal flint]

here you go

[tal flint]

started the neck and i need some crits on this one

[tal flint]

and another angle

[proton]

looking good....can't wait to see the head!

[Johnlittle]

Looks good.Coming along nicely. Just remember to give it as a relaxed look as possible.Looking forward to more.:thumbsup:

[Eclipse]

No doubt-it's good. But I thing the neck is bit too long...

[garyturner]

whant see more :bounce:

[tal flint]

finaly had some time to get back to it,so here's the start of the head

[tal flint]

last one for today

[tal flint]

and another one

[somlor]

This is coming along really well! And it's just screaming for textures when it's finished, I can hear it already.

:applause:

(s)

[tal flint]

head almost done

[tal flint]

mouth finished

[Cemeroon]

Very nice ! :bounce:
Maybe a second jaw inside the first, with the forked tongue ?

Keep it up, it's going a great way !

[tal flint]

what do you mean a second jaw ?

[Cemeroon]

Something like Giger's Alien: a second row of teeth behind the first.

[TIO_MATT]

LOKKING REALLY GOOD I WOULD MAKE THAT TONGE LONGER LIKE A SNAKE....

:thumbsup:

[Commander Falk]

I think the jaw, or chops, are too straight, do it like the T-Rex from jurasik park.

Great model !

[rage288]

AWESOME! it looks freakingly great my friend!
i congrat u!

very nic wing attachment...
..im modelling the balrog since a while now, i hope i resolve the wing attachment as swiftly as u did!

cheers!

[r0bal]

That's really great! :applause:
But I would prefer a rounded tongue with a hollow in the middle. Of course that's my opinion...

[tal flint]

finaly had some time for an update

[DOOMNINJA]

Comming along great!

Few suggestions if i may, and these are mild ones, so if you think I'm on crack please - by all means, and i do mean, means - disregard :p. Heheh. Obtuse humour aside, if it were me, and i was a dragon, i would maybe consider haveing my skin membrane for my wings grow out a bit further down my back, a little added support so that they don't rip at the seams. I like the construction near the shoulders though, looks all musculer and, as i like to say, cool.

It just might be me, but the main flight fingers on the wings are also (perhaps) slightly too thin for my taste in sturdy dragon digits, and i would consider strightening out all those flight fingers a tad, and maybe add joints for knuckles as well?

Oh, and the neck maybe a tad thicker at the base? Guess its just considering the wieght of the head vrs length of the neck. if you want a larger, preditory head, and still have a longer neck its gona need to be strong to support all those teeth :).

Other than that, the only other inconsistancy, was the head, um, "style" in relation to the body. It might be me again (and if it is, just throw stones or something. At ME.) but the body seems realistic in comparison to your head, which strikes me as somewhat cartoony. Maybe add some more prominent facial features to represent details in the skull, like ridges under the eyes, or cheek bones, just above the upper jaw line near the back of the mouth. Perhaps some variation in the line of the jaws as well, make them thicker near the base of the head, and stager the thickness in areas so its irregular towards the front.

It is detailed already though, thats for sure, so in the end it might not even matter right? Anyway, some nice modeling skills you have going there. Good luck with the rest of your project.

-Doom

P.S. If you get a chance model a NINJA rideing him! Yay! (preferably one of DOOM.)

[tal flint]

thanks for all those suggestions Doomninja.i'll try and see how i can change the wings to match all you said.

as for the head - i was thinking about adding some more detail,but i got stuck without any good ideas.
i didin't like anything that came out.

any suggestions as wild as you like is more than welcome :-)
