Fire Breathing Dragon Head

Hey everybody, I’ve been working on this since yesterday.

Here’s a link to my yahoo photos, look in the blender folder :stuck_out_tongue:

Originally, I was going for something sinister looking, but it turned out kind of cartoonish.

I used a mesh cone for the fire. I resized random vertices then fiddled with the halo effect.

Please let me know what you think!

cool. u should try to go for a scaly texture for the head.

have u read the fire tutorial in the blender manual? that or other tutorials easily searched for might give you a better fire. it looks a little fake now, but keep workin’ at it.

the head structure really looks good i think.

imanewbielikewhoa: Thanks for your response! I’ll keep working on getting a nicer fire effect and a scaly texture for the skin. For now though I changed the fire to a poison gas. (After all, poison gas is a green dragon’s main breath weapon in ad&d!) 3 new pics are posted in my blender folder of the new version.

Thanks to the people taking time to view this, hopefully I’ll improve! :slight_smile:

looks hot :slight_smile: the corners of the mouth look a little sharp though

The head and eyelids kind of look scaly now. I used a fractal subdivide and set it on 15. There’s some minor pitting on the skin now though, hopefully I’ll be able to tweak it out. 2 new pics of my now scalyish dragon head posted at http://photos.yahoo.com/caynan1

fez. : I’ll see what I can do about those sharp edges, and thanks!
