Description
this is my current progress for the New Beginning Spyro model.the model only has very basic procedural textures on his skin and armored bits(horn tail, spikes belly and wing).
his wings are a double membrane. I think that will work better without relying on a modifier. I plan to have the spikes n his head to have a soft-body modifier to allow for them to have some bounce to them.
basic model is still a work in progress. any critique on the model would be extremely welcome.
I know the fins have an issue with rendering. it is a result of the mirror modifier and I need to thicken said membrane
here is the To-do list:
Modeling
1.make Spyro thicker around the waist.
2.adjust where wings meet the body.
3. ???
4. [no profit]
sculpt:
sculpt spyro
finalize mesh:
create seams
Apply mirror
texture:
bake normals
finalize materials
texture
rigging:
figure out how face needs to be rigged
create diagrams
[attempt to rig spyro]
[rage]
hand model off to be rigged.

no problem I'm just working on the poster and redesigning the beetles because the last picture was bad

cool.can't wait to see them.

yep. took a long time to position them corectly. I will probably have to move them again after rigging to make sure he can bare his teeth so that they all line up.

I like the design so far but i defiantly need to say that the snout needs more work. Also his whole head seems too bog compared to the rest of the body. Edit his snout to make it look more like the DOTD version of kid spyro.

he is also rather young.
while I want a very detailed I want to give a good nod to the Krome style which emphasized Spyro's childlike proportions through the big head and large eyes and use of a rather toony look.
he will age from movie to movie.
you are right the snout does need work. I've probably spent more time tweaking that than the rest of him.
(and will probably continue to tweak him until people complain at me to work on other characters.)(believe me I need to be complained at because I will tweak pointless details that no one will likely care about besides me for hours upon hours)
that is why I love critique. It gives me something do do other than to tweak meaningless details)
I think some of the issue may be his lips. they are a bit floppy looking.

oh main thing. His lower jaw exceeds past his upper jaw. I'd even the lower jaw to his upper. Bring thw lower jaw back a bit

I thought I fixed that? dang. I'll go and mess with his gums then.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
okay. It looks like a overbite.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh it probably is. going to fix it though. wouldn't surprise me if it still wasn't fixed.

Well how about you send me private sreenshots to be sure. If i see it, i'll tell you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sure. I'll work some more on spyro tonight. I will probably just override the screenshot file on DA. it's faster anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well good luck. Oh, i've thought about the first fight spyro has with the baboons. I'm picturing spyro fighting them awkwardly. Not awkwardly in the stupid annoying way. In the beginning, Spyro has never dealt with these guys before. So, when they are rushing and trying to slash him with their dragon bone daggers. As he dodges and blocks it's like one of those moment you don't know when to strike.

I get the Krome studio style. Keep the big eyes and head but maybe just make his neck just a tiny bit thicker to support the weight of his head. For his snout, try to make it close enough to the cancelled movie [link] like broaden the snout and give it some thickness. Ya know the stuff. Plus, bring his horns up, there too low
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah that makes more sense then.I'll thicken the neck then.
I'll try tilting the horns up a bit I can't really relocate them much but I can try to tilt them a bit.
messing with his snout is going to be tricky. last time I tried tweaking the top I ended up with some funky rides. I'll also define his brow more. I really don't want it too broad as it will hurt some of the cuteness, but I do want to create enough of one to show that spyro is a hero.

Well since i'm a guy i can't say he's cute. But, i can say he looks more of a young character who realizes what he is. I feel that with the overall movie, make so that your showing spyro and watch him transform. Throughout the movie, he finds a bravery he didn't know he had and he surprices the guardians at every turn
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
YES! that is exactly what I want to do. thank you for putting that into words.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, i've thought of that when thinking of the overall feel for the movie version of ANB. Throughout this movie. I feel that Spyro starts out timid and eventually discovers a hidden courage with in him which in the end release his inner self.
in other words,"Now, It's time to unleash the true dragon within you."

quite. that seems to be the theme of the series if you strive for something and believe you will succeed despite insurmountable odds.
kinda why I believe this project will succeed. I'm not allowing myself to believe otherwise. if I don't I will crack under the pressure and disappear.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, i feel this movie is gonna be very sucessful. Even though it's a fan movie, it doesn't seem like that so far. I also feel that CotBF is gonna go a long way
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It this point, I would consider a decent finished product as successful regardless of any other factors.

indeed. Oh, I've been developing FireDrake's first encounter with Evelon in my mind. In the beginning, FireDrake is completely cautious with Evelon and keeps his distance. Gradually, he gets more comfortable with Evelon then they begin to have a normal conversation. Evelon tells FireDrake about his past and explains what will happen in the next few months
