Work on the eyes.....maybe a little less humanoid....if i'm not mistaken chinese dragons(3 toes) have solid colored eyes....yellow, or white I believe....everything else looks superb...great job...:thumbsup:

[vizion]

I think it looks great just the way it is. Good job.

[Gremlin]

I like the modeling, but I think the color scheme and bump map need some work!

good overall job tho! :D

[mactabilis]

give him a cigar! okay.. Im probably the only one to get that joke.. Looks very cool and chinese, not often you see 3d models of chinese dragons as opposed to the other.

[alex_scopio]

thanks all reply and critiques.
i will work on to improve it.

that's a kicking dragon man. it capture what a chinese dragon is, meaning more of an god than a beast.
i find that the best chinese dragons comes from their cimics, rather than the triditional arts.

I'm not sure about the three toes, I have seen paintings, where they have 5 toes.

I'm making a chinese dragon too, and I gave it 5 toes.

[alex_scopio]

nice work on the hair. i like it... :D howd u do it

[reaperman]

there are two types of chinese dragons. the five toe dragons are suppose to be the ancestors of royalty. they use to think that a special blood runs through the royal line. and that when kings die they reture to their dragon form, the five toe dragon.
and the three to dragon are of a lower pedegree. that's why the five toe dragon can only be use by royalty. just like the colour yellow that only kings a allow to ware.:)

[gnarlycranium]

5 toes also give those particular dragons the very important ability of being able to hold a pen to write letters to their friends... :D

That thing is looking great, man! Love the expression and the hair, and his eyes too-- only problem is the skin. Definitely need some good textures for that thing. Are you going to leave the hair a solid color?

[Gabe]

Here is the one I'm working on. As you can see, I still have a ton of work to do. But it's coming along.

Box modeled in 3Ds.Max 4.3

I used a Chinese painting as reference. It wasn't one of the real old ones though, it's a modern one.

I'm having a tough time making the hair though. I don't have a hair plugin, so I'm experimenting with poly hair. Any help on this would be great. I haven't been able to find any good pictures of long hair to use. Anybody know of a good site for this?
