I think you should add one of those beefy arms on there for good measure.

Anyway, Murc, as I said before, I love the wings. The body looks kind of like a dog, though. I always assumed dragons were more lizard-like. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

the pose is NOT final, not even close to final, i was just seeing how it looked when it wasnt so straight and stiff...


EDIT: does it still look so much like a dog?

Schweet! You must send me those wings!

Or, failing that, move them forward a little more, so they are aligned with the shoulders.

his hind legs are kinda gimpy...how does he stand up? remember on any animal, the hind legs are always going to be bigger than the forelegs.

i'll beef up the back legs

as for the software ufortunately you have to buy it. it's $300, but if you're a student you can get it for $200. it sounds like a lot, but it's a GREAT price when compared to 3DS Max or Maya

I love Strong Bad....anyway, that looks like a dragon, the hind legs need to be a little bit bigger, and the wings need to be moved up on the shoulders. Oh, and he needs a head.

Well, the actual modeling is a million times better then Thrawn or Mine (Both of us Gun Modelers btw), but the dragon itself lacks realism, as the head is much too large for the puny legs to hold up, let alone the entire body. The hind legs lack the thickness and strength seen on other dragons, and it needs a thicker, and longer foreleg. The fins (Could you call them that) Are much too far apart in my opinion, and you should make them badass, real large. The head is amazing, I love it, although I think the ears would look sweet holowed out. I wish I were able to get the shoulderblades so well, and you are doing yours polly be polly, which is why it's got much better modeling capacity then I or Thrawn could have imagined. Oh, and if Cazor's asking you to use this, I'd fold the wings.

P.S. I don't have to do a dragon any longer! Whoopie!

My only suggestion is to add bends to the wings, 'cause right now they look unnaturally flat. The thickness is fine, but looks flat.

kirby...dragons dont have to have "fins" as you call them. the only reason ANY dragons have them at all is because someone mixed up stegosaurus bones with that of a dragon. they just make it look good. oh and my drawing of smaug > *. sadly...my 7th grade english teacher threw it out because i was sick the day we were supposed to get them back...

/me shakes off the dust from a place called exile

Ok, im back... and i need to whip you into shape, boy.


Ok, first of all, yes, the wings are gonna need to be folded... like the pictures i showed you.

Secondly, try and get him in a lying down position and in a kinda curled stance.

Thridly... ah crap there is nothing else.
