i got stuck with my other project and so I decided to
model something I wanted to start for a long time, but nerver felt
experienced enough,
it’s Errol the little Swamp-Dragon out of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Novels.
I’m trying to model this little cute thing on a reference material done by Paul Kidby,
i hope he can exuse the work on his material without his approval.
It’s only a start, the head is missing the teeth, eye-lids the small hairs but i’ve just modelled for 2 hours right now. Tell me what you think.
Cor, I’m a fan of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld too! It’d be great to see this one rigged and animated (and flying at supersonic speeds too ). One thing though, I thought his scales were sort of silvery in the book? I think Pratchett had meant it to be somewhat chrome perhaps (which I reckon didn’t exist in DW hence the silvery description).
Edit: I tried looking it up in Guards! Guards! and the DW Companion but couldn’t find a colour description in both. Paul Kidby’s The Art of Discworld protrays him as a sort of mossy green though, so I reckon I must’ve been mistaken.
Yes i’m trying to give it the Paul Kidby style, it’s one of the cutest drawings i’ve ever seen, but i’ll do the basic modeling at first, then i’ll redefine with sculpting i think and then i hopefully have enough time to paint the textures
Heres a litle about with some teeth thrown in
I’ve applied a 1024 x 1024 to each tooth done by UV Mapping, and i have to say LOL that
was kind of breaking a butterfly on a wheel ha ?
@Amade
I think you meant the silvery dragons on the moon which were found when Rincewind and Leonardo of Quirm flew over the edge of the world to reach Cori Celesti to the the old Barbarians in “The Last Hero” or in german called “Wahre Helden”.
