THE Sculpting Challenge 016: Creatures of Legend - Dragons

[vshen]

ryvick: Thanks for your comment. Yeah I'm pretty much going for a dinosaur feel and kinda basing to a lot of different dinosaur reference. The wings are kinda blocked out still and don't know how I will be doing it yet. Roght now I'm kinda going for bat wings but we'll see.

I think I might give it a rest for today and finish off other work, but if there's time tonight I might give another 30 minutes or an hour.

Hello!

Due to work I worked on this dragon only at the end of the week, here are some more videos. Thanks to all the comments, sorry for bad English.

[aby arty]

ryvick : great stuff

vshen: wow ! tho its still like a raptor got wings,but i thnk that wud dissapear when u do the head.

maxtx: i wonder if u r a dragon urself, u know the anatomy to well eh? or do dragons pose for ya :P


umm i wanted to know the best way to bring out an alpha on a sculpt.

[vshen]

Thanks for your comments aby arty. I'm kinda getting different dinosaur reference on my sculpt and the velociraptor is one of them.

Here is another one and this one roughly took 1 hour and 20 minutes. will try to get another hour done tomorrow after work.

[gumby666]

Here's my new dragon.
Gave up on the eastern style dragon 'cos I was having trouble altering the base mesh to suit (removing wings etc) without ending up with nasty effects. Might get back to that one later if I have time.

Decided to aim a bit more realistically for my skill level and do a good ol' traditional dragon.

Only low division at this stage but will get into more detail soon.

[RHedendahl]

maxtx: Really nice start mate!

Here is my dragon after 3 hours of work, will smooth the wings later on:

[ibrahim_gabr]

Wow awesome sculpts everyone!!

Here is my dragon 2h 10 mins:hurt:

[Slashmore]

Great entries so far!

3 Hours Work now... Spent a lot of time making the fingers... What a nightmare!!! now I've got to do the same with the legas and finally, some alphas. Is there any suggestion on how to make those wing stripes I've drawn on the picture? Thanks in advice!

P.S.: The pedestal is the fire, and I've downloaded that matcap from pixologic's page. Sorry for my english!

[Freespace-3DT]

Slashmore: In Mudbox, there is a Curve system, by which you can draw 2d curves, and then sculpt along those ( this means it's very easy to do stuff like straight lines ). There should be something similar in Zbrush. Nice creative use of the pedestal. :)

[Slashmore]

Thanks! I am going to look it up.

[vshen]

Here is another update

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c108/vshen/3d%20total%20Dragon/wip_6.jpg

[Freespace-3DT]

Hey vshen, that reminds me of Godzilla a bit. Keep it up, I like the details on his face very much. Good sense of muscles throughout the mesh.

[liquidbear]

ok finally got time to start :) this is 20 min in :)
btw slash more can u put the link up for the fire on the mat cap

[vshen]

Thanks Freespace-3DT for your comment really much appreciated. Godzilla is awesome and although not a lot of people loved the recent film I really liked the creature design in that movie. I'm gonna try give him a bit more bulk on my next update but for now I was able to squeeze in roughly 45 minutes before starting work.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c108/vshen/3d%20total%20Dragon/wip_7.jpg

[Threefingered]

Everyone's dragons are looking great...For me, the Holiday weekend was spent on a lake in an alcoholic haze, but I will be back in the mix shortly as long as work stays off my back...

Slash, great job on getting it back together! The fire idea is great. Keep on rocking!

[Lynette-3dt]

wow, this challenge has really taken off (taken off - get it? Freespace will appreciate this lame joke, teehee ;P). i have a few favourites already, but welcome more and more sculpts to make me re-think! i'd love to see some more really unique and original stuff, too, that pushes the boundaries, you know ... i love boundary-pushing stuff that makes you go, Wow! Never would've thought of that! great work everyone, keep it up :)

[Freespace-3DT]

wow, this challenge has really taken off (taken off - get it? Freespace will appreciate this lame joke, teehee ;P).

:haha: Oh Lynette, you're on fire today. - get it? :smug:

[Lynette-3dt]

Oh Lynette, you're on fire today. - get it?
Yup, smoking, you might say ;P

[aby arty]

@kirgan: sir great pose and neat form.
@ibrahim_gabr:wow u got a lotdone in 2 hrs man, kudos.
@liquidbear: hehe nice build it up iam waitin
@vshen : yummm , aaw but me veggie , aah i know lyn mam please bake me a cake version :p

hmmm 2 mods here , good time for pitching, :D , how abt tute series wth maxtx , preferably human anatomy or furry animals.

[liquidbear]

ok at the 50 min mark now :) i was just defining more of the finer details like legs and wings

[Slashmore]

4 hours and 15 min work now.... Spend lot of time getting the pose!

Remaining:
-Repair all muscles and other issues that appeared when getting the final pose
-Wings
-Alphas

Threefingered: Thanks for your support! haha
liquidbear: Nice sculp out there in such few time. http://www.pixologic.com/zbrush/downloadcenter/library/ -> Matcap effects -> Fire Demon

Nice Sculps Everyone!

(Sorry for my English, my last sentence as ever, haha)

[Apollofox]

just out of curiosity, how do our mudbox users deal with mesh posing and such? i feel like im missing something silly here but its pretty simple to pose in Zbrush though it looks like it cant be done in Muddy.

[jubba]

I will try this challenge here 30 minute so far going for little dragon.
http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/miyamotomusachii/dragon.jpg

[Freespace-3DT]

Slashmore: Keep it up! It's looking flamin'. ;P

Apollofox: Mudbox users at a small disadvantage here. You need to manually grab and move parts of the mesh to sort of pose it. Or at least, I haven't figured out another way.

jubba: Welcome to the challenge!

[darkmonk]

Hi guys,

Fantastic models from everyone so far, good to see so many people getting involved.

I Finally got the time to get started on a model :D
This is 4Hours 20min of sculpting so far,

[Freespace-3DT]

Hey Darkmonk, glad to see you managed to rustle up some time and join. I really love how you got the dragon to interact with the pedestal, and those wings are great, too!

[vshen]

started a bit on the detailing but still need to do the arms and torso and define their form.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c108/vshen/3d%20total%20Dragon/wip_8.jpg

[DELTATHUND3R]

darkmonk=thats one sick sculpt buddy really nice style too it..
Vshen=love the head looks great..Keep it coming :).
Great sculpts guys.

[adr]

C&C are very welcome.
ian

[Jabberwock]

Hi,
This is the first time I participate to a challenge (and also my first post on this forum :D). Some sculpts are very stunning!

Here is my entry, 2h so far :

[liquidbear]

welcome jabberwock i love the lower jaw :) to me he looks like he needs a monocle and a glass of brandy

[liquidbear]

ok at the 2 hour mark now phew :)

[XADA]

Fine works at last!!
jabberwock, nice to meet you here, i've sawn your dragon's sketch on your blog. great funny dragon.

Vshen, the way you're going, i may not have other choice than to vote for you...really beautifull!!

[liquidbear]

3 hours :) forgot bout pedestal time whoops so the real total is 4 hours

[ibrahim_gabr]

3 hours 50 mins

[Shuggie]

Hey guys, been working on defining the secondary detail and muscles a bit more, this is 6 and a half hours in, cheers.

http://www.3daspect.com/DragonUpdate.jpg

[vshen]

darkmonk: Awesome dragon dude!

Only had a chance to work on the pedestal.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c108/vshen/3d%20total%20Dragon/wip_9.jpg

[jubba]

here what i have so far 1hour and half.
http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/miyamotomusachii/dii.jpg

[Slashmore]

5 Hours now....
Only wings and fingers remaining.
I've got a lot of problems with the fingers... any suggestions? I just use the snakehook, but trully, I don't like the result and is not very easy to give a good position to the fingers... I didn't spend much time on that haha..

Anny comments would be great!!!

vshen, shuggie and darkmonk.... GREAT JOBS!

Cheers

[aby arty]

@slashmore :cry: me wanna do such a seksy skin too, please tell me how please.
for the finger i use ,inflate ,pinch , and anything that suits from the deformation tab under geometry.

[dPunisher]

Hi... finaly got some free time to do this... ( ~7.5h - too much time... :P )

I'm not that in to 'types' of dragons.. this just came out when i was 'doodling'.. :P.. but inspired from all the great sculpts here! (thanx for all the great stuff!)

didn't put much time in to sculpting the 'pedestal'... (it's supposed to be a hand.. less details to this so dragon the standsout... :P and i'm too lazy :D )

about 6h to sculpt the dragon.. 35min to do the 'pedestal'.. and 1 hour 'posing' + fixing...

hope u like it.. :)

[XADA]

weeell! great job dpunisher!!
perhaps the wings a little bit systematic (is this an english word??? it's french at last, sorry!). and some details on the hand?

[Slashmore]

Wow dPunisher, one of my favorites so far!!!

Cheers

[dPunisher]

XADA, Slashmore - thanx for the comments... :)

XADA, if u mean it's less organic.. cos of the texture… hmm.. i guess this little guys is more of a jumper-glider rather than a total flying one... hunts small animals (pests!)

(the real reason: i found a simple alpha.. (2-3 mins work right there! :P ) and was too lazy to do more detailing.. cos modeling the head took some time.. and i wanted to do part of a castle for the pedestal.. to make the dragon look HUGE! but by the time the dragon was done i had only about 2 hours for that and posing.. so had to do a simpler pedestal..

from Huge to tiny... i then wanted the dragon to go around just one finger of a hand... but that way the pedestal would have been bigger than the dragon.. (and just modeling one finger raised up .... not a good idea ;) ) .. so i did a hand.. maybe a gloved hand.. ? )

[opentarget]

great work so far people!
i have decided to start a new dragon for the chalenge as i started to run into issues on my last one for not using referance to work from and also as it was my first ever atempt to use zbrush. so im gona start a new sculpt over the weekend.

[XADA]

LAST RUN GUYS !!
i've loved this chalenge, as i've ever loved dragons....and can't resist trying an other one...

[maxtx]

Hello, everyone!

More ups, now complicating ta, rssss! Congratulations to all for participation, I do not understand that law can shape up and coming months is for hours of modeling? Well still there, thanks to all!

[vshen]

This is the last update for this dragon. I probably won't submit it for final submission yet until close to the due date because if I can get enough time, I might try another dragon completely different from this design and decide which one will be my final entry. Otherwise If I don't get the time this will be final submission.

Didn't get enough time to work on the pedestal and used the remaining time to do a quick pose and last minute touches mainly on the wings and hand.

XADA: Thanks for your comment. It's going to be tough call. Mr Peculiar's horntail is a very strong entry. Also Darkmonk's is also very solid. Overall though good effort to everyone! Dragons Rule!!!!

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c108/vshen/3d%20total%20Dragon/wip_10.jpg

[mdale13]

alright, i figure i may as well play. we'll see if i finish, but i havent sculpted anything in weeks and feel lazy :(

[dustinbrown]

Great work everyone. I'm working on a dragon for the second DWIV mini challenge, and I briefly considered submitting it here as well, but the rules for the two contests are a bit different and I didn't start with the basemesh that was supplied for this one. Ah well :)

db

[aby arty]

@dpunisher sir eeps thts is damn good stuuff
@ maxtx wow
@ vshen amazing , really impressive

can any body tell me how maxtx etches his outlines for the plates and scales please.

[Spiderclaw]

Thinking of having a stab at this later in the week - are we allowed to extrude faces? I was thinking of making an adjustment for horns in Maya by pulling faces out. As long as I'm not tacking them on is that allowed?

dPunisher - that is a mighty fine sculpt. I really like the hand as a scaling device.

[Freespace-3DT]

Spiderclaw: Sorry, but you shouldn't modify the base mesh in any way prior to sculpting. You can do whatever you want with it inside Zbrush/Mudbox, though. Hope to see an entry from you too! :wave:

[zonk]

Hi everybody, really cool dragons here ;-) I finally found some time and finished my dragon ;-)

[dPunisher]

vshen - like the way u've done the dragons texture :)
zonk - looks nice.. how about a close-up pic of the head?

.. thanx for the comments ... i did a 'gloved' hand.. not sure that it looks like a 'glove' :P .. my times up, so.. i'll just post the images on the 'final submissions'

[paulius-st]

hi. i'll try to make something too. something like this picture.

[el.tintop]

worked a little on my dragon.
maybe she's a little lika a kangaroo dragon with her baby in the bag.we will see what happens next.don't know if i got time to finish.

[paulius-st]

first hour. allmost all the time i was posing the mesh with inflate, simple , move brushes. its hard for me to make big corrections to the mesh in zbrush. hardest part was the hand and the wing positioning.:hmm:

[adr]

One more update for my entry. I have 5 hrs of work with my dragon. I worked on adjusting the feet and sculpting the horns in his head. 3 more hrs to go.

C&C are welcome. :dance:

[dPunisher]

paulius-st - nice concept... now for the details.. :)
Did u use 'zbrush transpose' to pose the model?

adr - try using the ClayTubes (the brush type) with LazyMouse (Under Stroke menu)... if the edges are too defined... smooth it out ... only a suggestion :)

[adr]

dPunisher: Thank you for your comments. I´ll work on that issue later.
adr

[paulius-st]

dPunisher - thanks. yes, i used transpose for posing.

[paulius-st]

here's my update. 2 hours and 35 minutes spent on the mesh and the head is finished. i skiped bunny ears because i dont know how to make them to look properly. i used simple, clay tubes, inflate and snake hook brushes and one alpha. after the contest i think i'll add some hair-doo and some fur, texture. maybe some flames :).

[Jabberwock]

Here is an update of my dragon.
About 4h30. Still a lot of work to do!

[califfguzman]

Finally have the time to get back to this awesome contest!
Great stuff everyone iv never seen so many cool Different dragons.
Im at 2.5 hrs

[Slashmore]

Callif... it seems that's gonna be a GREAT dragon... Good Luck!

[aby arty]

well i couldn handle legles dragon well so dropped that idea.

started fresh
just a warm up

somewhr arn 4.5-5 hrs.calling it done

please feel free to crit as it would hlp me in my next try.

[paulius-st]

4hours spent allready. a few ajustments all over the model, i finaly aded bunny ears. i think 1 - 2 hours to go and then i'll go to making pjedestal. hands and legs are left. and if i'll have time i'll put some hair on the head and the back of the dragon. i never liked making bodys :lame: . i tooke some time to look at images of the others . all i can say is awsome. especialy that eagle-like dragon.

[califfguzman]

Slashmore:thank you
Aby: cool dragon i dig the style.
Just started roughing out the design elements. Im at 3hrs and 300,000 points
Hopefully my computer will be able to handle more detail later.

[Jabberwock]

Nice pose :)

[paulius-st]

5 hours and the bunny dragon is ready. now its pjedestal' time. just dont have a clue what to make from it.maybe a flover or a rock.:hmm:

[Freespace-3DT]

califfguzman: Looking good, the proportions and pose are shining with greatness.

paulius: That's a hilarious bunny-dragon. :haha: I just find it a bit strange that the front of his jaw doesn't have any detail, while the rest of him is so crispy and complex. Same goes for the inside of his mouth.

[dPunisher]

paulius-st - here's a silly idea.. :) y not try to make it look as if the 'bunny dragon' is trying to take-off (in d big jaws or hind-paws) with some thing too heavy for it to carry.. like a big carrot .. :P

[leodan3d]

Hi everybody this my dragon I spend 6 hours modelling, tonight I`ll finish it.

http://www.3dmoreira.com/forum/dragonn.jpg

[Shuggie]

Hey guys my time is up, no time to create a base for it sadly, unfortunately I cant seem to get anti-aliasing to work in mudbox so the image is quite rough, cheers.

http://www.3daspect.com/DragonFinish.jpg

[XADA]

'thought the chalenge would finish 5 june...so, some time to make others speedy experiments...
This one, trying to explore some Scifi inspiration...

[pipboy1984]

i m starting my first challenge :).
I will post something for about 30 min :)

[pipboy1984]

30 min sculpting

[rainhunter]

gave up on my first sculpt after a couple of computer/zbrush crashes and seeing how good everyones' dragons are
heres my finished second attempt 8 hours with a couple of crashes
like it alot better than the first one

[pipboy1984]

4.5 h

[Chrisp-3DT]

wow what a great collection of dragons, so wish I had version ZBrush so that could give this a go. But so far my fav is paulius-st, amazing stylization and i hope to see this in the finals thread so a can give it my vote ;)

[pipboy1984]

I finish my dragon :)
time /6.5 h

[pipboy1984]

Other views

[Maxter1]

Very cool works...:cool:

Here's the mine (3 hours of sculpting)

[paulius-st]

wow . i have a first fan i think :D . i'm happy that somebody found my creatin interesting.
freespace-3DT - i wanted to mak it a little bit more like a real thing and found that chin dont have much of the detail. but maybee i should give it a bit of noise or texture of skin.
dpunisheer - good idea. i think i'll try to make some vegetable and to put it in the mouth of dragon. or to compose something interesting . i have 3 hours left.

[paulius-st]

well. i'm finished. here's some pics of what i've done. big thaqnks for dpusniher for the idea of a carrot and a dragon atempting to take of with it. a carrot at the begining was a pjedestal. i posed a dragon again to mach a hard atempt to carry a big weight :) . fixed his jaw. total 7 hours of modeling and 10 days of laughing :D . and ofcourse 2 minutes of scetching.

[CHAO5]

muhahahah funny stuff paulius-st. i love it

[Jabberwock]

[darkmonk]

hi guys, wow there are some great entries for this comp, not going to be an easy choice when it comes to voting.

I Finally got some time to finish my dragon, not 100% happy with it but i had fun and learned loads working on it, this is 7hours and 35min of sculpting.

[CHAO5]

wow nice dragon darkmonk good muscles and wings!

[JGavin]

i figured i should ask this before I get too carried away.

Is it legal to break the object into separate subtools? I am still using the same mesh. And this was all done inside of zbrush no outside app needed. As you can see the wings and head are separate from the body. Let me know what you think.

[XADA]

darkmonk, you've done a really clean and worked job! really beautifull!

[ryvick]

darkmonk : looks like a water dragon with the webfeet and the fin on his spine. great look.
maxter1 : the curves are very smooth. i wanna touch it. good job.

[Starsewn]

hello everyone....finally getting around to posting this....nearly done at about 6 hours

Great job of all and nice work for all of you people =P

Wow all entries are looking fantastic!!
Matx - one of my favourites!!!

Not looking like I'll get a sculpt done in time :(
Works been flat out and in my spare time I've been flat out laying over 5 tonnes of bricks in my backyard. If the next sculpt was a bricklaying one I reckon I'd kick arse now!!

Great work everyone!!!!!
