Black Dragon



Alright then, have I ever mentioned the fact that I have this bad habit of working on several pics at once? Just sort of following my rambling Muse where ever she may lead me? :D

Well, here is a couple of shots of my latest, in the very early stages. THese are basicly just test pics to see how the texture I made looks. Other then needing to change the eye color, I think this will do just fine.

Here's a look at the entire dragon texture:

And here is a closeup of the head. This one shows the roughness of the body texture itself as well:

As always let me know what you think!

Ok, so I've got a bit more done on this one. Dragon itself is done, and now I've got him in the setting itself. Still need to do alot of work on the lighting, but I thought I would give you a peek at the progress thus far.

As always, comments and critiques are welcomed. Oh, and the working title for this one is "Chaos Unleashed".

Hey Blair, this is Marie. :D

I just thought I'd say that your Black Dragon here is looking really cool. I especially like the way it looks right now, the pose and the background is really cool. :D

Hey there hun! Welcome to the mad house! :P

And thanks for the comments hun. Still got work to do on the lighting and such, and I want to make the wings not so transparent, but the pose is pretty much where I want it to be.

awesome. :D Yeah, the lighting does need a little more work, maybe so his face or somesuch isn't so dark. :3

Yeah, you're right about the wings, I didn't notice it at first but they are pretty transparent, almost hard to see. But other than that it is looking good. :D

Thanks! Of course, I'm one of those artists that is rarely happy with an image, and am often messing with it, changing it, etc. And this one is no exception. :D I decided he really didn't look chaotic enough, and so, I've added a few things. I've also adjusted the pose a bit. My thanks to Mitz for the suggestion to move the one wing down to match the way his front leg is moved forward. Definately a better effect I think.

At this point, all I have left to do is mess with the lighting, then do any monor changes said lighting brings out.
