[Dota 2] Silly Dragon courier project
polycounter lvl 9
hi guys
its a courier project for Dota 2, i call it Silly Dragon. im trying to direct the animations to a more crazy movements, like its a little fool.
the idea was to make a cartoony dragon with chicken legs to make reference to the original chicken.
these are the fist model with some pattern tests
the i started rigging, did some pose and silhouette study.
the colors are just there as placeholders, i didnt decided it yet
this is the first animation, the run cycle
im still not happy with that and i will change couple things.

any suggestion/critiques will be a lot appreciated
i was not feeling confortable posting a wip project on the dota 2 workshop thread with a lot of finalized works, i dont feel that there is the place to post wips
here people can help me out with more details

as i changed a lot i will need to rework the low poly to fit
hahaha, Pandora is also the name of my cat that i used as a reference for the yellow eyes =]
must be a sign =]
and i was with the art of how to train your dragon book open at my side when i was working at zbrush, i got a lot inspired by it
i didnt get what you said with touch down, but according to valves doc, it will be flying at a distance far from the ground, if you meant touching the ground that will be not possible for all the flying one tagged with "wings"
im using the split complementary style with green as a base color
the backpack and the eyes are not following this, hope that is not a problem
im not liking the spikes on the head and tail, im planning on change that like the one at the side of the head
im using difuse, normal and specular maps
i dont know why but maya is smoothing the mesh during the render, so de basemesh dont match exactly on the sillhouette
hey! thanks man =]
the best you can do to start is learning with others mistakes, you can learn a lot on the polycount thread about the workshop
