Draco ‘Dragonheart’

I had watched Dragonheart on TV when i was a kid. He’s still one of my favorite dragons in terms of design and character. Recently I watched some behind the scenes clips of how ILM and Phil Tippet brought this character to life using technology available in the 90s and it was very inspiring.

There are many photos on the internet of the stunning Maquette made by Peter Konig for the film which I used as my main reference and a lot of screen grabs from the movie. I wish i could see this legendary sculpt in person someday.

Sculpted in ZBrush, Topology,Rig and UV in Maya, Surfacing using ZBrush polypaint and Mari, Rendering using Arnold.
