I know everybody make knights model and it’s a big cliche, but I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. Inspiration came from an ivory statue of st. george and the dragon i saw on an art magazine back in 2007 (i can’t find the image in the internet though…) something like this…
yea, I know it’s not the same knight but you got the idea…

just starting to add some detail the dragon… the dragon and horse are old model I made last year on my second attempt to build this scene, but I can’t detail it because of poor hardware I’m using back then.

anyway, first attempt was in 2007, a traditional sculpture but sadly I break the master model badly trying to make a master mold… hopefully I didn’t bored you with this story :smiley:

Some really good modeling here.

@safetyman: thanks… I’m trying to do my best here…
still working on dragon details at the moment… I have to hidden some portion it while sculpting, running at over 50 million of vertices @subdivision level 7… this is slowing me down a little bit…

some pic of my unfinished dragon statue the knight is badly broken, so no pics of it…
