WOW Dragon

How are you doing the wings where the membrane meets the support bones?
I tried to sinply extrude an edge across the width but ran into non manifold geometry. based on your 12 z brush frame image… it looks like you are doing similar. So I am curious if you have managed to render this with bump and normal maps, have run into non manifold geometry or have assembled the wing membranes in a different fashion.

Thank you very much .
.
dustinbrown:
yes that’s right . i modeled the base in maya ( i said that already in first Comment ) . i want to creat new pose for this work . but i dont reach to any top idea for his pose . i will change the pose certainly .

.

CowboyBunny: You are right . i would work like cocept as far as possible . but i think for this model if i exert some variations and change something ( like hind legs which you said ) that will have better result . im trying to creat this model to the best of my ability and do one’s best .also i really need your help about select nice pose and other issues . Thank you very much for your attend and assist .

i want to explaine my modeling method briefly :

i modeled the base completely in maya and use this concept as Image plane in Side view .i started my work with one Plane and made body , wings , legs but apart from the body and in next step connected these parts to the body .
making Dragon Tail was hardest stage for me in modeling beacuse i spend much time for make that .

i made the wings but i realized Wings are similar to Hand somedeal and have Component like to Hand .this point make me to creat wings again but with other view .

Looks awesome OM3D :slight_smile:

I just have one thing, that pops out for me. Its the big thumb on the wing. There’s a huge contrast between the limbs and fingers on the wings compared to the rest of the creature, especially on the thumb, but again, its a design your following, and i think you have done a great job so far :slight_smile:
Im just curious to see if it would work even better with that change.
Post a picture if you deside to try it :wink:

Coming along nicely. Reminds me a bit of the Hungarian dragon in Harry Potter.

i like where this is going!

I love wow dragons! And you doing good!
What i can say about last update: the wings look pretty heavy and thick. There is no feel of membrane, take a look on bat references, there should be wrinkles coming from bone to bone.

I totally agree with capamerica about the wings but the rest of the Dragon looks great.

Hi again! :slight_smile: If u are interested in my opinion? i still think that wings is a weak part of a model, good work on wing muscles, but membrane and bones not good. The double bones there look bad. Also i want to recommend you too look on Illidan Stormrage wings, look on cinematic refs and illidan action figures. Actually i recommend Ilidan demon form action figure.

CapAmerica : thank you for guidance …:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1::wink:

hi again .finally i completed my work on this model . i rendered in ZBrush and used Photo shop for this work . i created texture with polypaint too . thank you for everything .
you can see here Fianl render in some different views .

Amazing Work on this Bronze Drake. I played for 5 years so I know what these things look like ha! I love it! Keep doing work, I’m definitely watching. :slight_smile:

:+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:
Excellent job! The modeling, texturing, and pose is awesome! How long did this take you if you don’t mind me asking?

Final came out great! :+1: !

Excellent Job. Might even be top row. I’ve just picked up the 30 day Maya trail, and will most likely buy it by the end of Feb. That being said I would love to see your step by step for the wings.

Well done, my npcscan went off:D :+1:

love your dragon, very nice! (and thats even considering the fact that you mention word “WoW” :D)

thank you guys…;):+1:

I really like the sculpt! From personal taste I find the textures could use a little work but whatever fits your style! Good job on the sculpt.
