First dragon, 2nd head

He's kind of happy looking. Is he supposed to be? And will you be adding some big old teeth?

It looks promising, but should be even better once you get it textured and locked down.

[augustus]

Yes, he looks hapy:) Altough i like that, it's not what i want and i don't know why. Eyes, or too thin lips. Maybe teeths can solve this problem.

Is this modeled in Lightwave?

The character looks cool...

You're topology is really wrong if you want to actually animate 'em.

All your loops run parallel and perpendicular to wach other instead of running in an organic flow around it's musculature.

Really might want to fix that if you are planning on animating.

Of course, to fix him, you'd have to pretty much remodel...

But, again, it looks really cool besides that.

I think it will be most problematic at the corners of the mouth. Everything else looks ok; workable.

[Dave Black]

How exactly do you see it being workable? The corners of the mouth are not the only problems. If this character is going to have any sort of facial animation, it's going to need to be redone or overhauled significantly.

I still think it looks good, but the topolgoy is just not where it needs to be.

The two biggest reasons he looks happy:
A) His mouth curves up slightly before curving down in the back, fix that and he wont be semi-smiling.
B) His eyes are facing forward and his eyelids are partially closed. This is too friendly, make his eyes face off to the sides to give him a less personal feel and either close his eyelids to slits or open them wide to achieve a more aggressive feel.

[augustus]

That will be very hard:buttrock: I will not animate, but rig for posing (i've never rigged anything before). Thanks for advice.

Is it ok if i put some tri-sided poly around mouth? I tried to keep all polys four-sided.

And no, it's not ligthwave.

[Dave Black]

Man, it's your model, if you want to put a triangle, by all means. Using all quads is a good idea, but it's really ok to break the rules once in a while when it comes to stuff like that.

Don't worry about it.

And next time, really study and plan-out your topology. It will make a huge difference. I promise.

Love the character of 'em so far. Keep at it.

What is this modeled in??

[augustus]

Planning? It's not me:p But you're absolutely right. Thanks.

White Rabbit, thank you too. I will work on lips and eyes. Eyes are face-forward because he's a hunter you know, he needs a good vision;)

I've a long way to go. Here is an update.

[augustus]

Another angle. More teeth.

[Crash]

Looks much like the dragon from dragonheart, or a trex with horns :), still nice modeling work, can;t wait to see the rest of it Greetz:beer:

[augustus]

Here is a sketch i've done for awhile ago. Maybe I should better use that as a reference image.:buttrock:

Totally agree with this :D

Mayb teeth would work :P

[augustus]

After a couple hours of re-modeling

[augustus]

Wirefame. Am I getting coloser?

[WhiteRabbitObj]

I think that its better, he doesnt look happy anymore but he doesnt look fearsome either. I think eyes that faced less forward would really help, but dont change that unless you keep a backup save =)

[augustus]

A little update. Eyes changed.

[knifejuggler]

Hmm, I would think that keeping the eyes at the front would be better, as predators have forward facing eyes, whereas prey have sidewards facing eyes (to keep an look out for predators)

That's what I was taught anyway.

[Theta-Dot]

I think you should fix the skin around where the bone horn things come out of. Right now they are just sticking out. Mold the skin around them so it looks like the bone continues under the skin.
Just keep working!

[augustus]

He has 74 teeth now.
