Hey silvia... I'm starting my own dragon now. I also found a tutorial I like; the one that comes with maya! (Not the best, but the best I've found...)

Not much to show yet, he's just a brick so far. Working on the head first. Would you rather I start a separate thread for my wip pics, or can I post them here? It wouldn't exactly be off topic since it is a dragon (although it will be a totally diffrent style) I figure this is your thread, so I thought I'd ask. user added image

I'll at least get him modeled while you're texturing yours. When you're happy with your textures, hopefully I'll be at least done with the modeling part and we'll get these suckers rigged user added image

Just for a little update, one tutorial suggests separating the parts of the wings that should be "soft" (flexible) from the rest, and parent it. Then make it a soft body. That leaves tons of potential problems... as you can imagine. another method described suggests painting it on the wings. I think I'll go for the second...


Me and THIS army!
