Description A sort of gift art for a friend of her dragon character in a rundown old building. While setting the pose up I realized it is very hard to make a dragon look worried

I gave him a sword for protection, but he still looks nervous... It looks odd because well... It's a sword made for humans not dragons

Anyway. Render time was two hours, and about ten to fifteen minutes postwork.

Cinema 4D + Indigo

For those who are interested, and who have a 3D application such as Poser, D|S, Carrara, Cinema4D, 3DSMax, XSI, etc - you can download the hallway scene here: [link]
It's a part of a lighting and texturing challenge that anyone is welcome to partake in (Although the "Haunted Hallway" challenge is closed now, the scene can still be downloaded.) Only the model is included - no textures or lights. Also the dragon is not included - that was my addition

"Okay, don't panic...you're lost in this old abandoned house, and it's rumored the 'Lord of Vore' inhabits these halls, but you'll be fine, don't worry...was that a board creaking!?"

Thanks~

His owner has a picture of him in a more happy setting here: [link]

Sorry for the weird looking link, but the forum she posted it on is... Kinda clunky
I don't know if she has a DA account or not D:

Why would a dragon need a sword? |D

SylxeriaGuardian In reply to PaleWitchKnight [2012-09-12 00:09:29 +0000 UTC]

Good question.
Maybe there's something in the area blocking his magical abilities, he's unable to breathe any fire at the moment, and all he has is his teeth, claws, and his human friend's sword for protection. D:

The picture yes.

The scene was lit in Cinema 4D and rendered with Indigo.

The scene itself, as seen inside Cinema:

Cool do you do RQs?

SylxeriaGuardian In reply to Casirethedragon11 [2012-09-12 00:19:45 +0000 UTC]

If it's within my ability, yes.

I'm more open to traditional requests or digitally drawn ones than 3D requests, but am willing to try any.

Send me a note and I'll see what I can do

If it's something beyond my ability in 3D I'll draw it instead. I'm also up for doing literature
