missing the instant dragon button

[johnl3d]

Needed a break today from what I was working on so I tried to model the standard Dragon. Since I usually don't model anything that complex I thought I would ask for some help. I did what I posted using what I remember from the "devil dog" modeling on the Hash tapes. meaning I started with an extrusion then cut it in half and added the legs,arms wings to the half and copy flipped and attached. There are no claws , feet or real head but I posted a wireframe and a little qt any comments suggestions welcome.

I think it's a good start so far. I the head should be modeled like it's a human head though(extruded from the eye's, ear and mouth). I'd also move the wings down one spline and connect them to each vertical spline on the body that lines up(you'll have to add one more on the body). I'd also reduce the number of splines for the tail using hooks but it's not really that important. For the legs I'd add 2 more vertical splines one on each side towards the front of the leg. I have included a picture(I just got a tablet so I had to find a excuse to play with it!!) that shows what I'd do with it but I'm sure there are other ways.

 

A make drangon button would make things easier though.

thanks the real head will be added later this was a quick extrsion as was the tail

will look into moving wings down and yes the legs need more detail

This is the wire of my latest creature with a few modifications. Check out the way I did the wings and the legs.

Well since everyone is showing off their dragon creatures. I thought I'd help with a few wires of my old one. I removed the tail and wings since they're pretty big.

 

Excuse the materials on the dragon. I imported it into 10.5 from 8.5, so they're a little wacky.

 

Hope this helps a little.

I thought the dragons from "Spirited Away" were cool looking. Also, easier to model and texture due to fact that they don't require wings to fly.
