that is actually pretty bloody cool...the ear could use more tho.. like an earhole..else he cant hear...
keep up the cool 3d man.

Great work gary! love dragons

Cheers Taintra! i'm on it... I new I missed something ear... he he

Thanks Oxxid...

Great render! Congrats!

The model is excellent stick with it
Actually right now is soo good i dont think it even needs textures!
5/5!

which programm did you use?
the head is very impressive, with its 'defending-mask'.
the eye could be more dangerous and catching
a lack of some details (may be withe texture) but at least a style I like very much.

I lub Dragons!! Great render

Can't go wrong with dragons. Love them all. +5/5

i've only done a little 3d work myself, so i've not much clue on how you've created this. i'm just in awe. sorry i don't have a helpful critique, but i just had to say: wow!

Great work! I really like its tongue. This is great!

wow cool stuff! Ancient asian look to it.. i think

Whoa...Cheers for all the positive responses guys...I'm glad you guys like it. I will continue to develope the model and work towards making an animation starring this guy sometime in the near future.

I'm considering adding webs between his face spikes to get the model to look a little more menacing in certain poses... once he is ready for his acting debut.

Thanks again guys you rock!

Wow! Awesome model man.
What i like about this one, is that it´s cool without beeing over-worked(spikes n´stuff on every inch of the head). I think you have just the right amount of detail here.
Looking forward to see it textured.

WOW! amazing datail on the model man!! Is this already rigged? Love to see it with textures dude! .. finish him!! BTW, what soft are u using, I know it's a lme question, but, I just like to know. Most of 3d artist nowadays uses z-brush in adding datails to their work, are you thinkin' about using one day too? I still have yet to try it... +5 for me!

very good work man.. but i think u need a story. i think that wild child will perfect a composition with a little story +6/7

grat work but i think the eyes should be more intimidating and it would be perfect.

Excellent

This improved viper is tha bomb! It continues to have a very dynamic and pleasent look, so I cant wait to see it textured!

Amazing. Great work Gary.

I have already voted, but I had not left any comment.... (not enough time sorry ). Very nice work, the design is excellent! Maybe the eyes could be yellow, it would have more contrast and more power
Very well done!
+5/5

This chap is a supernova in the making....mark my words...

looks good to me.... honestly I thought it was a repost of Viper by  blackdragon

so your ready to texture it?
I cant wait to see
I do hope its a full body tho

Very neat work! +10/10

Stunning work of art..... this is extreemly well done
Keith

nice design
the pose works, he looks menacing right away
some of the shapes are not very smooth, they don't flow into each other so it makes it look a bit more like a robot than an organic creature (but maybe that's what you want?)

Overall, nice work and good luck with animating/texturing!

That looks mean Gary.....im well impressed keep up the amazing work!

Love your work Blackdragon.
You have this genre down to a fine art..
I would love to see the whole beast...

Hey all, Cheers for all your incouraging comments here. Well wicked...I'm making some final mods to this model then the fun will begin with the textures.

Yes there is a full serpent style body for this version but I am also working on building a hybrid version that will have limbs and possibly some wings. So you guys can guess what i'll be up to for the next..who knows how many hours... he he.

Cheers for all your time guys..I'm glad you all like this project. Now back to it...

Gary :0)

Great render,
look forward to seeing more of your work

Hey Gary!
The 3D model looks very cool. The only thing I would consider revisiting is perhaps the eye? It looks kinda sqeezed down, but I guess this comes from the standard opinion that a dragons eye should have a vertically standing, narrow pupils ;-)

Everything else has got great design, good work!

-Henning

Hi Gary, this one is much better for me if i compare it with the Viper. This one have more details, great shadows and silky look. good work!

the model looks alrite to me

Thanks guys... Still plenty of work to do here...But i'm making progress... And cheers for the good advise Henning...

I'm here! I love dragons!
And this one is wonderful indeed! Agreed about the eye...maybe a bit more threatening....other than that is perfect!
Waiting to see the texturized version! Great job!

Good forms! Not much I can see that bugs me about the model...there's a bump in the ear that sorta bugs me a bit, and there's a tiny bit of non-smoothness to the throat area...but those are both really minor. Looks good...I look forward to the textured version

I told you. You must do sculptures with this. Or jewels in silver.
The designs are so beautiful I am sure that you will have a lot of success.
All my points and more.
ADMIRABLE WORK¡¡¡¡¡
bea
)))))))

i like how you made his head.
It looks pretty scary.
Good work!

Wow! This is wicked, cant wait to see this with textures. Think it would look more cool if cared, dirty or imperfect. 9/9

Thanks guys for all your kind words and good advice. My mouse is over heating he he... and my fingers are sore! ha ha. uuhh not that funny is it....
Cheers for the insight Linh I saved that info... Well back to it... Cheers guys.

very impressive...good expression...and modelling.

hey dude... nice art... perfect...
Congrats!!!
Tanks... .about the critcs...
i'm an amateur.... yet

see u...

Sweet as Hoogo...That is why we are here..to help and support each other.. No worries dude...Good luck with your works mate.

The anathomy is really intriguing, a beautiful piece. I love the additional "sticks" as some kind of secondary defence, a very weel thought model and aesthetically great.
The only thing i think is less strong are the eyes, maybe they are temporary, as i can suppose. I'm wondering about the colour you'll choose

Good work. I like the clean defined look to this. I have no technical expertise in this area so I can't give a more detailed technical critique.

good job,the eyes kind of fall into the grey unless this dragon is going to be yellow or orange I wouldnt use blue for the eyes.other than that the lines are sharp and the form is smooth.

Gary

First. I like the model. The dragon you created is awsome. The style, The expression, The modd is very good! The horns coming out of the head add a crazy affect, just makes the dragon be dam cool, i want to be its friend! I also love the tounge, That is a small thing, but it catches my eye and i really notice small effects like that. Over all i think you have a really good idea and a good charecter!. I have some really nit-picky comments, dont mind them

- Texturing. This is not a big deal, without or with it textures dont make the peice. I would love to see some, maybe in your future work. You have such a great dragon it would be cool to see really detailed texturing.

- The eye. The eye has a good expression. But to plain. I think rather, make something about the eye that makes the viewer really check it out, grabs thier attention.

- The ear has a really nice style to it. Never change the motion and expression of the ear. One thing, i would define it a bit more.

over all, great work. Just awsome!

10/10+

render and lights look well, if you add texture work i think can turn also realist

Cheers Mike, yes I'm working on those aspects of the model... Some new stuff is on the way fairly soon. Thanks mate.

Cheers Bellas i'm trying to get a real look soon..Thanks

WOW ! I see the difference !!!!! Thanks for showin the prosess of your work .... that way we learn a lot !!!!! Congratulations !!!! Lighting is great!

I'd like to see the rest of the model first before I crit or anything... =/

this one is very good too

Wowow... awesome

Gary, this is very cool,full of life. Very nice concept.+8

ClaraSoto... Your very Welcome and thanks!
starqueen...Me too
acida...Thank's very much!
Klimyntris...Wicked!
Rafsan...Cheers Mate!

cheers mate! cool work! Hope you're doing good over there in NZ.

Check my site, I got more Japanese cosplay girls coming up for ya
Cheers!

Cool ! glad to hear it! I'm looking forward to seeing more.

l8rzzzz

my opinion - the neck is too plain, it ruins the monster

the head is good, but not excellent. but u need to make the neck more intersting, like adding some scales or something

Excellent work looks great

excellent work
amazing

it would be nice to read your comments about my stuff!

Cheers & Consider it done...

hrhr!
great n logic details!
(maybe some flakes on his neck are missing)

8/8

very very nice!

it looks sooo great
I just would prefer a more "realistic" skin tone...
