Description
Ok so i'm done with thisTools: zbrush, 3d coat substance painter
Process: modeled in zbrush, retopo'd in zbrush, unwrapped in 3d coat, texture in substance painter, rendered in substance painter
Refrence: ldaustinart.blogspot.mx/2011/0…
Thoughts: this was my first time completley finishing a "game rez" model. that is texturing and rendering it. took a while. I based this off the above concept, but devaited alot, I incorperated elements of the galapago tortoise and the aligator
Notes: I'm probably going to do some paint over in photoshop later, just to make it pop a bit more, will note when I do update that.

Hello! I’m here from with some constructive criticism.
First of all, I love the scale texture. It’s obvious that you put lots of time and effort into creating a realistic-looking hide for this dragon. I can also clearly see the inspiration from the alligator, especially in the scale pattern on the dragon’s throat. The Galapagos tortoise aspects aren’t as easily noticeable, but I’m sure they add their own sense of realism all the same.
I like the addition of the horns along the dragon's forehead, but I think you should change the design even more if you can, to distinguish it more from the concept art. Slightly bigger eyes and/or a thicker neck would make the anatomy look a bit more natural, too. Otherwise, I can’t imagine how the dragon would see very well, or even hold up the weight of its head, especially with that enormous horn on the end of its nose.
One last small change I would suggest is not even with the dragon itself, but the background color you’re displaying it against. Using a shade of gray so similar to the dragon’s color scheme makes it blend in, which diminishes the overall impact of the piece. It would help make the dragon stand out if you changed the background to a lighter gray or even almost black.
Overall, though, I’m highly impressed. Keep up the excellent work!

Greetings from
This is lovely! I've never used zbrush myself, but took a few classes with Maya. Is zbrush similar to Maya? It looks quite complex, but are most of the details in the 3D coat?
I do really like this, but as this is project comment, I'm going to try coming up with something constructive. I'm a geologist and love dinosaurs, so I'm going to focus on the physiology.
I do like bird-like beak, but I think the lower jaw is a bit too big? It looks like when he closes his mouth, his lower jaw would be much further out compared to the upper. The eyes look kind of small. There is technically nothing wrong with that, but may be more powerful if eyes are a bit bigger. And relative to the size of the head, the neck seems a bit thin.
That's about it. I'd love to see the end product with the whole body one day

It looks incredibly realistic! I love the way you did the scales and how the horns' texture looks so rough. Amazing job!
