Hey all. I decided to make a dragon in futuristic armor, it is interesting to hear your opinion about the model.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for bad English.

MoP · Jul 2009

Nice, it looks cool!
Are you going to ZBrush the creature?

PixelGoat · Jul 2009

What you have so far looks awesome!

Target_Renegade · Jul 2009

Looks great, from the quads it looks like it will get some zbrushing. Looking forward to see what the end result will be.

Bal · Jul 2009

Looks awesome, good work. The dragon definitely deserves some zbrush lovin'.

Nizza_waaarg · Jul 2009

dynomite! great work so far, really hope you go to town on the dragon zbrushing/mudboxing too

Taylor Hood · Jul 2009

Holy mother! That is insane.
Amazing topology and edge flow!!

Zack Fowler · Jul 2009

Hehe, scrolling from the first image to the second made me say "Whoah, what the!" Great work so far. The armor has a great style to it. I don't know if you're planning to make a game mesh for this beast but that is going to be difficult!

whoa!

Looking very cool mate, only thing thats bugging me right now is that the armor just kind of ends at the knees. maybe you could put some straps and lighter plates or something like a pair of spats, maybe a bit of armor on the wings as well. not really sure though, just looks kinda odd to me at the moment.

Valandar · Jul 2009

Awesome work so far! Definitely not what your 1st level Paladin wants to see when the DM pulls out the Random Encounter tables. :P

Kessler · Jul 2009

GJ fella. What are you modeling in?

you don't find the fact he's got no helmet odd?
cool model, me likes.

j4polaris · Jul 2009

Great proportions. There's a lot of character in the model, even before you slap all that armor on.

LOL, I did the exact same thing!

First image: $:\$
Second image: :poly115:

Then I stood up, dropped my balls to the floor and rocked the fuck out like a mother fucking crab. Crabcore.

crazyfingers · Jul 2009

Great stuff, you might want to pull his head out a bit with a soft select when he's wearing the armor, kinda lose his neck in all that.

Also, it's a funny thought that this dude will look LESS awesome textured, because the edge flow really is awesome, that wireframe looks sweet. Maybe you could put a bit of the wirefram in the texture? Overlay the UV map a bit in certain spots...

When most of the "grim warriors" in HUGELY heavy plate and / or powered armor don't have helmets and have squishy little heads visible, a dragon with an armored and horned head not wearing a helmer is not a big deal. :P

Alec3d · Jul 2009

holy crap thats so cool, how did you model the armor over the body?

Alec3d · Jul 2009

I can't get over the solid/wire pic of the armored model, it's so awesome, made my eye fall outa my head!

Raider · Jul 2009

hhahah that's unreal, the dragon looked awesome but then scroll down into the armour and it just boosts it even more, i agree that the armour cutting off @ the knee seems kinda odd, shin guards / straps or even a few thin pieces of metal strapped together with some leather might look cool.

What polycount u aiming at?

SharG · Jul 2009

PixelGoat , LoM Chaos, P442, Valandar, Frump, torontoanimator, dejawolf, j4polaris, adam, crazyfingers, Thank you fellas.

MoP, Target_Renegade, Bal, Nizza_waaarg, Thank you! I will definitely Zbrush him.

ZackF, Thank you! When I'll finish HiPoly model, Maybe l'll start a game model, of course if i'll have enough power to do that.

Reeke, Thank you! As for armor on arm -i will fix it.

Kessler, Thank you! This is 3ds max 2009.

Alec3d, Thank you! I just made separated parts and then just combined them.

mifflefish, Raider, Thank you! armor is not finished yet. actually I planed to put some armor parts on his legs. and much more armor on wings. Wings are not finished yet to.

P.S. Sorry for bad English.

Alec3d · Jul 2009
