BIG helleva thx all, I’m going do my damn best to model this beast, I just gotta, and I have the time me thinks :smiley:

weeeeeeee what a kicka$$ challenge thus far!!!

:buttrock:

#26

hehe tito . . . less talk more modeling

get your arse in gear buddy, this challenge is roaring . . .

#27

go,go,go Tito! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

#28

Okie, I think it was about time I got SOMETHING done if I intend on finishing this challenge heheh

I decided not to use use simply because I won’t have the time necessary to challenge and work on my reel. But I did start him out in wings tho as seen below. But right now speed is important :wink:

Here’s his humble beginnings, 2 hrs with wings, bobbling with the new tools and such, fun app no time right now to re-learn my methods :slight_smile:

And this is officially my first model in Maya, the poly tools aren’t the greatest but they get the job done! Furthermore I’m in love with the rigging tools, my word :surprised I did my first rig in like a day, eaaaaasy :smiley:

Anyhoo comments/crits appreciated of course

back to it weeeee

He Lil,

Cool head, I didn’t know you used maya:hmm:

Maybe you can make the width of the eyes smaller, so there will be space in his head for 2 eyeballs, or maybe you have already an option for that. Just let you know what I think:)

Yeah good point! I erased my concept sketch here by accident, gotta repost that, but anyhoo yeah the eyes will be smaller in the end, this is the first blast, I’ll probably spend alot of time tweaking here and there tonight :thumbsup:

Now to block out the bod heh

P.S. yup I recently made the switch from Max :slight_smile:

It’s nice to see your creature come to life in the 3D World. Nice beefed up head,looks quite tough. With a body to match that girth and overall size and thickness it will be quite formidible. Start blocking it out Lil’dragon,it looks like it will be real fun to view.:thumbsup: :beer:

#33

Go Tito,

Looking fantastic like all your other models dude.

Hope to see more in the morning.

#34

Bully bully bully bully! nice one lil! more please more… :slight_smile:

#40

a little too smooth for my liking…I feel like I should be seeing the bone and underlying tructure of his head…stron chin bone, cheeklines, etc…bottom lip needs refining…it doesnt look fatty and pliable enough…

nice overall form though… :thumbsup:

:beer:

cannot wait to see his body roughed out! :slight_smile:
