I've never been bought by dragon presentations in movies or stills, but THIS ONE... Oh boy! It looks soooo real. Even third eye-lid. Great, detailed work. Congratulations!

Another great example of `its not the tool you use, its how you use it`

[Ryuu]

That's a great piece of work. I always loved dragons.

Did you model the skin/scales after some existing animal, or is it just your idea of how a dragon should look like?

[denisgo22]

Incredible!!!
only one question,---- how much time took up work on this project:)
/It's only head of Dragon ?--
This of course without PTEX texturing/
A good example of how we need support of PTEX in Corona///
I have many old PTEX project's in Vray, which I can not render with Corona:))

Nawras,

[zuliban]

thanks alot guys for the comments, work took me like 6months and some extra time while learning mari.

most of my references where tortoises and monitor lizards  for the texture i started with basic colors and picked a palette i liked before detail then looked for animals i liked to match the way their scales or plates look all the texturing is hand made no use of any kind of texture only mask to create dirt, baked outside mari cavity ao curvature maps ect

thanks again!

Excellent work!! Handpainted textures. That's really cool. As someone who handpaints textures too. It does take longer since you have to paint them by hand but you have better control of how everything should look and you spend less time looking for the proper textures that suit your taste(which most of the time is hard to find) and the correct resolution as well.

Really great work. Also love the fine details. Did the dragons from Game of Thrones play any role in the inspiration for this piece?

[zuliban]

HI Melviso yes handpainted let me play better with reflections glossiness and so on.
my inspiration was mostly desert tortoises i like how they look dirty and their shell scratched monitor lizards and goats for the horns.

[melviso]

That's cool. Thanks for the info, :- )
