KenH Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 Here's one I just made. He was inspired by a drawing on another site but it's not an exact replica. He's pretty much your typical baby dragon I guess. Quote
smudge Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 Koot! The only thing that strikes me odd about it is the head feels like it's sitting wrong on the neck. You might want to move the head forward a bit in relation to his neck. Right now it feels like a human head 'n neck set up, but that only works if the creature is bi-pedal (it has to do with weight distribution). A quadruped would have the neck pivot point father back on the skull. Just a thought, anyways. Quote
hypnomike Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 He's pretty much your typical baby dragon I guess. Well I haven't seen a baby dragon so I don't know how typical he/she is! Looks cute though, any chance of animating it? Maybe breathing fire, or would it be sparks and smoke at that age? Keep posting Ken. Quote
turbokitty77 Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 Good job! It could make a cool animation character. I do agree with what smudge said though. Expect to see more of your good work. Quote
KenH Posted November 4, 2004 Author Posted November 4, 2004 You're right, I was looking at the reference wrong because it was posed at a strange angle. This way looks better. I could move the neck point up 90 degrees on the head but I think this looks fine. I may animate him....if I get other projects finished. This was just a thereputic project while I wait for other stuff to come right. Quote
-TC- Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Wow, very nice Ken, looks great Any chance of posting wireframes ? Quote
Sharky Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Hi KenH! Nice work! I can see you worked smooth splinage! Will you make texture for your new characer? Cute dragon! Cheers, Sharky Quote
KenH Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 Thanks! I wasn't going to use him, but I just thought of an idea to enter him in the A:M I contest. So, I guess I'll be texturing him. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted November 5, 2004 Admin Posted November 5, 2004 Looks great Ken! Don't forget the cute little wings. Quote
KenH Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 That's right..give me more to do! I'll have to put them on him now cos now he doesn't look complete! Time to search the net for some examples. Quote
KenH Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 Here he is with wings. Unfortunately I can't use porcelain on him as some of the wing patches are 5 pointers. And we know what porcelain does to them when they're flipped. If anyone has any ideas on how best to do the eyes I'd appreciate it. Currently it's just a white patch with a lathed pupil on it. Quote
hypnomike Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 I like the eyes the way you've done them Ken, they go well with the style you have created. Unfortunately I can't use porcelain on him as some of the wing patches are 5 pointers. I know there must be a good reason for five pointers but can you disect them with a fresh spline thereby creating a four point and a three point spline? Keep up the good work. Quote
turbokitty77 Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Your dragon turned out great! Nice job. Quote
