thanks guys. i'm hoping this model moves along as fast as the dragons did.

anyways. this model was inspired by the alien queen. (the crest was suposed to be larger, but it made the whole model look funny.) the teeth look more vicios but
it makes up for the lack of that inner mouth thing.

anyway i fixed the "human leg problem" and have many more pics here.

my original idea was to put this monster into a pyramid somwhere, butb i like your sewer idea better.

here they are. the model is around 9000 polyies

i tried to add the "bones" to the wings. first i modeld them and then when rigged they did a wired warp. so i instead tried them as a bump map, which would have worked if i did a UV map with lithunwrapper. suffice to say i didn't get around to it, instead i fixed the texure strtch on the wings.

i posted the originall dragon when i started and the new one with an added spec
texture. also i put the dragon in its roost. i need to add a floor to the grey in the bottom left corner of the dragon roost image.

thanks guys for all the critique, without it i probably woulnd't be motivated to fix many of the isues i nthe model or i might not even had known somthign was wrong. thanks agai nand please keep the comments coming.

thank youm all for the comments and helpful ideas. here is the red dragon standing in the sand.

if anyone wants a wallpaper sized render i can do.

really cool model. nice texture and pose.

my one critic is the chain around the tree it is too perfectly wrapped, other than that great job!

i'm not sure how long, but it was under three hours.

probably 1 1/2 and another one for tweaking and such.

the dragon pic includes a much higher res texture and new scale bumbmap.
i aslo deleated some of the spikes on the second dragon. i noticed that half of them are not textured with the spike texture. will do next.

the materials ofr the roost.
-floor-

-amb-.4
-diff-.8
-spec-.2 (with attributes raytraced reflections.)

the wires are a simple grey with high roughness. the "bump effect" was made by converting them to subdivisions and setting the smooth angle to 1.

the tops of the pillars are simple material with raytraced specular of .2 and a slight bumpmap.

most of the rocks were made with the rock script except for the big ones. right by the camera.

heres what i fixed.

reflections on the chains.
different chains on the second dragon.
new bump map.

the images are. edge loop, wie, and final.

i will have a better res texture next upload.

this model took about six hours to model and five minutes to render:

please ctitique. other than the mild texture stretch on the wings.

thanks guys. i'll upload them next time.

i am trying to do an animation. not quite done with the outline yet.
