Description Almost done with UVs and grouping!
This baby is ready to go out for rigging and texturing, and I am relieved that I didn't mess up anything big - so far!

Looks amazing so far. I have the PC+ Dragon Skeleton, but yours is so much more detailed. He looks so cool.

Gee, i have been distracted and i missed this update.
I am sorry.

Is looking very very good, the skull in particular attracts my attention hence is absolutely looking original in its shape.
Not an ordinary dragon for sure, which i like very much

Haha, no worries

I am a bit stuck with this monster - rigging is next *cringes*
But I will get there. Eventually

And you made me really happy by saying that this skeleton looks original

Eek...the rigging.
I am no expert but that amount of joints to move accordingly with the others looks a titanic task that would challenge even the most patient person on earth.
But i am sure you'll tame this beast.

Keep smiling and keep going

It's not as bad as it sounds, I think. Just the sheer amont of BONES is intimidating.
Oh well, time to think about this when I get there. I have another project right now which keeps me busy and wants to be finished first.

Looks great, can't wait to set it Iray-textured and fully rendered... those of us who are dragon-addicted would of course pick it up immediately from the DAZ store.

Thank you
I hope to have a bit more to show in a bit. I am still not done modeling a few details. This project will be by far my largest I am afraid.

Awesome! I love this. Which is odd for me, because I'm not a skeleton-loving kind of person. But this guy is beautiful.
Hmm... you've spent a long time working on dragon bones, you would know. Do male and female dragons have different bone structure? Just idle curiosity...

Aarki In reply to kittenwylde [2017-06-18 19:50:15 +0000 UTC]

Haha, thank you!

There would probably be some differences.
With this species, the females are bigger and stronger. I took inspiration from most bird of prey species.
So I figure the skeletons of the females would be bigger and a bit more sturdy.
No idea, really, I just focused in modeling this monster so far

Thanks! I was looking at this and automatically checked the pelvis to see if it was a boy or a girl. And then I realized dragons don't usually walk upright, and therefore wouldn't need a different shaped pelvis to support babies.

Aarki In reply to kittenwylde [2017-06-18 20:29:07 +0000 UTC]

I agree!
I am sure there are a great deal of inaccuracies in this skeleton. 
It was great fun to model it, but now I am dreading the rigging
