Like all Good Ideas you Have to Hatch them first.....
Hence the flying egg to start my model

And besides... we all know Dragons come from eggs don't they:)

Tidied up Body a bit.

I'm making up my model as I go along, no reference drawings being used....

(I havn't seen a --- National Geographic Dragon Pic--- anywhere for reference) :)

Oh well my imagination will have to do.

Added a few teeth, claws, etc.
Minor push and pull here and there.

schmick 26-10-2002 04:08 AM

that's coming along very nicely

Wings and teeth are my favourite parts of this one. Are you going to add some eyelids?

The Dragon isn't finished yet.
I'm still working on the Head and Wings.

So here is progress image, plus a screencapture wireframe as requested.

Hey, That looks great!

Might want to try to make the hands a bit more dynamics though, as I feel the look like quite flat, as if the dragon uses them to flip his toasty victims in the BBQ. :D

Regards ...

I agree, the hands are in need of work........
I will address them ........hopefully....... before end of month.

This is it.........no more additions.

I was going to have the dragon hold a toasted marshmellow on a stick, to represent fire, but it looked rather odd without a texture ;) So Iv'e left it as is.

((( I HOPE THIS TIME))) Last one was garbled

ChiTao 29-10-2002 06:42 PM

It has more of a flying dinosaur feel to it then a dragon... but non the less, still impressive. The body seems to thick for a flying animal, or maybe the legs are to thick.

If I remember correctly the wing size is proportional to the body size. In that the larger(fatter) the body the smaller the wings or wing span should be. Basic evolutionary rules bieng applied. Don't mind me.
