Pern Dragon, 3d

Oh… My GOWD… *dies*

I don’t even know where to begin… seriously… This project nearly killed me. Several times over; and even now I can see SOOOOO much wrong with it; it makes me want to pull my hair out. I’m happy… enough… with it; but not insanely happy. I’m not sure if that’s because I’m so freaking over it, or because I know it’s riddled with mistakes.

Before anyone asks…
This was my final project OF CHOICE, for this semester of Uni
It’s my version of a Pern dragon
Yes her forelimbs are shorter and no weight baring before anyone points out that her forefeet are not able to take weight.
‘She’? yesh… the model looks more like a green despite the fact I can change its colours
No ridges; because I ran out of time… and they looked ugly
Yes I know that far part of the mainsail is royally fucked.
Yes I know the colours and textures stretch horribly on her tail.
Don’t even ASK where the holes are; I found them well after I could fix the problem and I’m very angry I missed them and disappointed.
I dislike unwrapping… greatly. I always manage to feck it up; repeatedly
the transition from wing bone to sail is too obvious on the fore sail.
The workflow is really fucked up
so fucked up…

Now for the fun part!

Feel free to comment/crit and so on. Also I might take custom requestions.

I would like to THANK the following people for all their support in this project.

*fivetinsoldiers and ~Itsomi For putting up with my constant whining and bitching in class over this thing. Also; extra thanks to *fivetinsoldiers for pointing out when her tail need lengthen.
Josh; my teacher. For putting up with my in-deceive nature; whining, bitching, struggles and everything else. Hearing you come out with ‘the wings make this piece’ really made my week.
Ary; for reminding me out to actually get mesh groups working again.
~Zirra--Nova For being there most of the way with me Also her input in regards the to the general construction of Pern dragons was AMAZING. Thanks!
~SabakuSouSou For keeping this colossal secret and my future plans for it; as well as all your insight into various depictions of Pern dragons.
~Azhdarchid For her amazing work on comparing the placement of limbs on pern dragons; found here [link]
=KaiserFlames For letting me use her reference work as guides to build this model. Your front and side views were a god sent. I don’t think I could have modelled her face without your work; thankyou. References used : [link] and [link]
~Zirra--Nova and ~Tuba-dragoness for letting me use their dragons to colour this. Risieth and Sheith are both so pretty.


A big Thankyou to all of you! This would not have happened without you
