Denniz - Dragons Lair

denniz · 08-11-2009, 03:30 AM

Hello all. First challange here at 3dtotal for me. Sounds like a great theme.
I am thinking more of a modern twist ala Reign of Fire scene, but not sure at this point. I'll start some design sketches tomorrow.

Wrong thread maybe?

Ahhh One of those,....

OK, My first version of the 'modern theme lair'.. Thinking I may go the fantasy route. Ill do a few more concepts before I decide.

nice start denniz... nice portfolio too!

denniz · 10-11-2009, 03:41 PM

Thx eyecon!

After a hundred thumbnails, I am liking the fantasy theme more..

'Dragons Kaldara'

"Smoldering volcano valley littered with treasure and long-dead heroes seeking their fortune."

i like ur first concept better... but we never know till the last post. good luck.

denniz · 10-11-2009, 07:46 PM

Hmmm,..The trouble with the first one is that I am trying to find a way to have a greater variety of colors. Even the second one would have that issue, but I figure the 'treasure' would add a lot color.

Maybe a "Forest dragon lair,...thing..."?

Hi denniz !

I prefer the first one too, because the idea is very different and can be very nice !

Good luck !

Suirebit-3DT · 11-11-2009, 10:19 AM

yes, the first one's idea is more original, but I like the composition of second one

denniz · 13-11-2009, 02:55 AM

Thx guys.

I like the modern design also, but I just cant seem to nail a good perspective and interesting angle. Every thumbnail I do of a destroyed city with a dragons lair just looks like a 'destroyed city'. They could be anything but a 'dragons lair'.
Still pushing it tho.. I have 2 new possibles out of the thumbnail stage..

Forest Dragons lair (with guardians).. and a Shot from the dragons perspective looking out to see adventurers approaching.

I am still trying for something away from the norm.. Ill give myself 2 more days before I have to pick one and get things going.

What about the world of Thundarr the Barbarian? Furturistic, but fantasy-ish?

Thats very cool. like the work.

Suirebit-3DT · 15-11-2009, 06:47 PM

i think the second works better, first one, while interesting, doesn't say anything about a dragon

denniz · 23-11-2009, 12:51 PM

Thanks guys,

Havent posted anything new due to some client changes on another project(always fun).. I think I still have time to get something together tho.

Ill make a final decision today.

By the way, has anyone run across a tutorial that would help me paint large piles of gold coins? I am experimenting with some custom brushes, but still falling short.
