Very cool

Nice work, I am also following Kurt's tutorial as a guide.
An excellent tutor!

Could you post a wireframe of your dragon sometime?

Keep up the good work MamoruK user added image

mmmm not very long it hink this is actually my first completed model. I'm more into the aniamtion i think i have like 1 other thing that i modeled myself. So seriously modeling myself i guess oh... maybe month and a half? i tend to pick things up rather quickly and the better my instruction on how to do something is the faster i learn it. So Kurt thanks fro the great instructions i actually learned more from u in about 6 hours than i did from my maya instructor. i need a to DL a tutorial on human modeling 'cause im gonna make a short aniamtion using this dragon. So if anyone possibly has one that they wouldn't mind sharing i'd greatly appreciate it ^_^

yea im making this for a short aniamtion for my demo reel. hopefully it'll come out right ><

also i want to add a cloth effect to the webbing in the wings but im not quite sure how to make it work right. Ive got the basic dynamics on how cloth works but im not quite sure it's as easy as turning them into cloth 'cause i want them to be able to expand and retract and have the webbing lossen and tighten as such any suggestions? tuts u can point me to?
