Description This monster belongs to the 55 dragons design marathon that began on 1st of February and will last to the 28th of February.

It's a personal challenge where I'm trying to beat my own limits by modeling unique 55 dragon designs of my own in as short amount of time as possible.

Dragon 18 out of 55! Tusk

It eats humans mostly, it's a man/horse eater and it uses it's front limbs to hold and and his horns to rip flash apart

just looked like it would have a difficult time eating the *food* head on

Naah, humans are just the right size for him, not to small, not to big to get tangled in the tusks

Haha, lucky them.
So you use templates for all the different dragons?

most of the dragons were done from scratch, I have recycled some zsphere base constructions on some of them,, I will upload videos for most of 55 dragons really soon,, step by step modeling session video clips in 12fps rate.

28 days 55 dragon concepts, about 2 hours more or less, per dragon.

This guy looks pretty tough, but I have the same questions about biting or eating. Maybe h's got to plunge his whole head into it's prey to take a bite.

HeavyMetalFaerie In reply to jay-mo-01 [2011-02-17 19:20:28 +0000 UTC]

I imagine that perhaps he has opposable thumbs, and and feed himself via his front paws/hands. That would also help with the issue of cleaning his face spikes.

This one is really cool mate! just one question... how does he bites with that huge horns both sides of the mouth?
You are doing a great work! I'm becoming your best fan!

damir-g-martin In reply to javi-ure [2011-02-10 17:45:05 +0000 UTC]

I knew this question is going to be asked xD
Well, he uses his front limbs, hands, when feeding on larger pray, humans are not a problem since he can eat them in a single bite.. When feeding on bigger prey, tusk is there to rip open and slash apart, then he uses his hands just like we do..

Wow, 18 O___O
I saw the other ones, too.
Maybe I'll comment them, the other day, I'm simply a little busy...
Well, what I wanted to ask, how many verticies do these models consist of?
I mean I'm not familiar with the programm, you're using to detail them,
do they use verticies, as well?

damir-g-martin In reply to YeriDG [2011-02-10 14:57:58 +0000 UTC]

It is modeled in zbrush, each model goes from 3-5 mil polygons.
As for the vertices, as far as I've been told, you cant have polygons without vertices or vice versa

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it very much!

YeriDG In reply to damir-g-martin [2011-02-10 19:09:16 +0000 UTC]

guess so
I modeled a 'dragon' in maya with about 5 thousand
verticies (but it's a complete model), so I was simply
curious

you're welcome, those heads are awesome
