That looks really good!

possibly at the start when choosing the dragon's specs and thus your magics colour, maybe at the same time you choose the specs for your rider sword, e.g what enchantment it has, damage vs speed, etc

I would make the thorns on the head a bit 'more behind

The dragon is looking BEAUTIFUL!
Though I think the back feet would look a bit better if they were a slightly larger reptillian three-pronged foot instead of the same as the front 'hands'; which look great by the way.

Yeah the back "talons" just looked awful, i have already begun to re-make them https://imgur.com/eCSLg

also i think the lower neck is too thin.. (you can see it better in one of those album images)

yah, the horns could also be brought back a bit.

update for back legs https://imgur.com/x0jny

That model is awesome. The only think that I don't like very much are the feet. They look too much like human hands IMO.

I suggest making them more clawish/talon-like

i'm just trying to get hold of that program, everythin i do i probs have to do again later.

Really impressive Draco! Had some time to practice in Zbrush, or are you simply some sort of savant?

I've just wathced some tutorials, imported the model and started experimenting.

what exactly is the difference between zbrush and blender?

Zbrush is a sculpting programm, you have an object and then you have to sculpt the details with the brushes .
In blender or other 3d modelling programm you work with the vertex, moving an extruding them

ok gotcha, so really the best thing to do would be to make the basic model in blender then add detail in zbrush?

If you want to make a model with blueprints, you should do the basic model in blender and then the details in zbrush, but you could do all the model in zbrush too.

little update.
i'm preparing the dragon for zbrush sculpting.
Not much changes to be seen, but the dragon is actually in 10 different objects now. this should make the sculpting process easier and allow me to go greater detail.

Beautiful! As always nice work Draco

gotta love zbrush

i know i know, we cant use that kind of scales, i'm just messing around.. it's amazing what that program can do.. those details are in actual model..

You could use that in a movie but real time rendering in game isn't possibile

i just checked out zbrush and its $699 thats about £300 over here, are you using the trial version or did you get it through..alternate means?

alternate means

Haha great smilie there

he's turning into you bruun

more scale experimenting...

Careful with the scales, they're actually quite a bit larger and more oblong than those, I'd say they almost look like a flattened shoe-horn tbh from the covers and artwork.

yah i probs need to make my own alpha for it. and fit them to follow the shapes. i was trying out how to best draw them, i think they are the last thing to make.
