Update need to finish this quickly so I’m not goign to put much more detail in the concept.

Hey Xarxys, I think your dragon just keeps getting better! THe current design reminds me of deep sea fish, for which I searched reference for my Strange Behaviour entry. There are some scary looking ones out there, I’ll tell ya! 
The fur could be faked with alpha’d planes, as you suggested, but don’t cover the entire body because of the poly budget.
Good luck and keep on improving!

Thank you I am glad you like it and yeah I wasn’t planning on doing the whole body in fur just the neck and the back. The rest of the body is going to be scaled. I was goign to do alpha planes for the “fluffier” areas and then fake it with texture and normal maps for the rest of it.

You’ve been improving! I see you still enjoy dragons. This one looks especially mean- I’ll have to agree with the deep-sea sentament. The lit tentacles remind me of bio-luminescent fish (like the Angler).
My only crit is that the artifact is not incorporated into the design as a whole very well. His helmet seems to be a seperate add-on when I feel it should be a more holistic creature-item design- they should compliment into a unified whole.
Great work so far! Keep it up.

Thank you for commenting. I was iffy about the skull idea as well do you think doing attachable claws would be a better idea?

Nice creature you’ve got here, can’t comment much as you seem to have evolved it to the point where 3D is going to be the next step, and it looks good. Keep us updated.

Thank you all for you comments I start modeling the beast today and I hope to have the mesh at least blocked out and I will post it as I progress

Some really great progression. I like the 3 eyes detail. I think the horns should be rotated round and scalled up. As it stands the horns are more defensive than offensive, look at all the horned creatures you can find, their horns point outwards not inwards. Apart from that your doing fine.

I’ll look into other creatures horns and see if there is something I like. I was building the horns as more of an aestitic thing than working thing though.

Groovy! Getting the hands dirty!
First suggestion before you get too far along, the hind quarters should actually be as large (muscular) as the front, if not more.
Well, thats based on the general anatomy of quadrupeds. If your little bugger is meant to be a “tough” beast, then maybe get some big cat reference (I’d recommend Lion, Tiger and Leopard in that order).
And if he’s meant to be more slim/lithe then maybe a cheetah or cougar.
I just did a quick scribble on this here tiger (see attachement) 
Good luck !
