Warcraft Dragon bust

ahtiandr · Oct 2012

Hi all. Started new project. This is a dragon bust wip inspired by Samwise Didier.

Awesome! The tips of the horns are a bit flat and it's still a bit soft in some places, but looking good so far!

This looks really good and clean id recommend a little smoothing on the Horn on the front

Mischievous · Oct 2012

Impressive! The only thing that bothers me is the tip of the horns, its shape doesn't fit the one of the horn base and is too smooth and bulgy

ahtiandr · Oct 2012

thanks all for comments

Yeah it is still WIP and the horn part is under construction atm but the end result will be the same as the neck , sharp and clean

. I ll post some more updates soon

hey, me and alberto rdrgz were taking a lok at this, and we adjusted the scale of the eye - right now it is really small and not the focal point as you have so much detail everywhere else.

Take a look:

It coulc use some tweaking (we tried it even bigger, too, but even as is the horn's root needs to be readjusted to support the eye size change) but it reads much better, I think.

To be honest, I like the original concept better and the eye is quite small there. The eye could be actually bigger but then the whole anatomy around the eye must be readjusted. Now it looks somehow wrong to me. To make the eye popping out I added green colour to it which is the complimentary to the red. Anyway thanks for trying to help

I ll probably use this in my next piece:)

Torch · Feb 2013

Yeah agreed, the smaller eye looked better - making the eye bigger just makes it look more cutesy. Still a great result though!

Joost · Feb 2013

Really turned out great, nice one!

ahtiandr · Feb 2013

as promised, here some breakdowns

Not all but major passes:

I strongly recommend this tutorial By Daniel Bystedt. I used his method for colour adjusting the raw passes from zbrush.
