OMG! SO COOL!!

Umm... why didn't you put the pretty feathers (copy-paste) all over? ;_;

He has to be one of the prettiest feathered scary dragons EVER!! XD

RevRuby In reply to colormist [2005-06-13 15:17:11 +0000 UTC]

each patch of feathers is individually meshed. i could c& all over, but i, being slightly obsessive about perfect randomness, would feel obligated to alter each mesh to be different. crazy huh?

damn, i can't critique at all. because this is basically exactly what i was thinking when i asked for the dragon. and yea. very very aweswome. i love this.. XD

i love the wings tho. best part. and followed by the head. both are uber cool. and....this must've been like hell to do, especially all done by hand. (mouse)

RevRuby In reply to Winged-Design [2005-06-11 23:05:29 +0000 UTC]

i like the head best, but i think that's because it is modeled off the AD&D 3rd edition black and silver dragons. (forgot to add that reference to this description, altho it is a part of the WIP description.

yeh it wasn't easy but using illustrator was a lot easier to do than if i had used photoshop or some other rastor program. i find that even if you can get them to let you play with the "points" they're not nearly as flexable as illustrators.

glad you like it! wouldn't be much of a prize if you didn't.

Are you outta your MIND!? How tha... can you do stuff like this with cardial?! (well however its spelt. You know what I mean )

>_>


<_<

You're crazy. Go see a doctor right now...

I love the detail in this... its amazing. I love those feather-scales on the wings too... wow. How'd ya do that?
Argh. Those frills look so painful to do. Eeeek. I love the head too.

Critique? I dunno. There really isn't much to critique here... maybe shade the claws but thats all I can think of.

RevRuby In reply to ayladragon [2005-06-11 12:53:09 +0000 UTC]

you can shorten carpal to CTS and i will know what it is

feathers- i drew a single feather and copied and pasted it. just the outline. then i took a fill and traced over the bunches and used a transparent mesh (mesh like i did on the dragon-pony's scales, except more than two colors and transparent) for the longer feathers i just did one outline and seperate transparent fills, getting lighter as i went down, but only dragging out the last color from the first.

frills...yeh, my wrists weren't that bad when i did those. the straight lines weren't bad because i just used the straight line tool.

and yeh the claws.....umm...i always forget something stupid.
