Description Another one. 
I managed to all but finish the tail over the weekend. 
And then I did an experiment by folding up the wing bones to see what would happen. This is the result: HUGE wings, but they look like I imagined. The rigged model will give me brain fuzz here - I can feel it!
BTW, this is the first render out of DAZ Studio (Iray). No funky bits in the mesh, so that is looking OK too.

Other than that I have to go back and thicken up a few bones, enlarge the front paws, etc. But the basic parts are modeled, and that is a win.

Loving this guy!  The design of his skull is so unique.  Can't wait to add him to my collection!

Thank you
I used a lot of equine, feline and canine references for the skull. The reptilian approach doesn't really sit well with me when I do dragons.
Glad you like it!

Haha! Yes, I guess this beastie will be a nice way to expand my menagerie.
Although, for a moment there your comment prompted an image in my head: someone wearing that skeleton. So weird *lol*

A bit prickly. But definitely exotic

Hint taken. My problem jsut is that I don't have the foggiest idea how such an outfit would liik like

Chanteur-de-Vent In reply to Aarki [2017-02-23 16:12:30 +0000 UTC]

You know, like an armor, just with skeletal parts as the base and a dragon skull as the helmet... Do you need a DA Muro sketch?

Aarki In reply to Chanteur-de-Vent [2017-02-23 19:26:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, a sketch would be interesting.
I thought that maybe the wing bones would make a good exotic cloak.

And it was. And it will be. It's far from finished, but the modeling and uv-mapping is almost done...
