Glaurung the dragon

http://www.mattimusonline.com/glaurung2.jpg

Tolkien’s Glaurung the dragon, dragon and field are made in blender, trees in background are PS.

Is there some sort of reference picture you used? I like it but looks like he doesn’t have much of a neck. The eyes and mouth don’t seem quite right either. Other than that it looks awesome. If that’s how it’s supposed to be then you can ignore me, but you have given me a bit of inspiration for the dragon that I wanted to build.

Nice dragon, although Glaurung could fly, couldn’t he? The field is a bit too “furry” for my taste.

cheers,

Beautiful piece. I hope that Retard Dragon won’t answer this piece.

5 stars.

really nicely done, and bobtronic, Glaurung was a wingless dragon :P.

It looks more like a giant lizard then a Dragon, or just an unconventional Dragon without wings. Nice work, I would love to be chewed up by that thing.

Beautiful piece. I hope that Retard Dragon won’t answer this piece.

You just slam me at every opportunity you get don’t you?

Ahhh, yes, another Christmas dragon. I look like a giant lizard as some dragon mentioned, but what lizard. Simple shape, nice spikes on the back, looks really angry. This dragon is is very nice, I like it very much.

The composition is also good, like the shapes and forms used in picture. The hill fits to the dragon (or the other way?). Maybe only the trees in background are slightly distracting, but it is good. The grass sometimes (mainly on the right side) crossed, and look more like fur, or hair. The colours are fine, the dragon looks really evil in this tones and stands out.

Nice work!

How did u do the trees?

dudes it’s Glaurung u know J.J.R. Tolken’s Fictional dragon from his books. here’s a image to him http://img-fan.theonering.net/rolozo/images/edelfeldt/glaurung.jpg

Excellent modeling, as always. Anyone else getting hot?

great work! Did you made some post with photoshop or gimp?

Nice one. The grass is a little furry, as mentioned before. And I would like to see what the dragon is looking at. Hm… the body texture is a little uniform.

In most mythologies dragons don’t have wings (in european they usually have). The real dragons don’t have wings (Komodo dragon etc.).

Heh, I love the character design! For some reason, that space in the upper right is bothering me, but that’s just me nitpicking. Also, the trees don’t have the same crispness that the rest of the picture does.

amazing, everything is perfect in my opinion

lol, looks like he’s hitching a ride on the back of a soft haired mammoth.
great pic, everything is good.
I love the calls for a more realistic imaginary scene, wtf is with some people.
The interpretation of this IMAGINARY creature in it’s IMAGINARY scene are outstanding.
Great job on the photoshopping too.
You know Blender can render B/W alpha or Silluette also for individual objects, great for composition in Blender or as layer masks/alpha maps in ps.
Can help when blurring in ps.

m.a.

I would love to see some stones and more debris on the ground. .not just all grass… Also the dragon skin looks… hmm… too “lowcontrast”… its not bad, but i think it could use bit more variety somehow… or then its just me…

The model itself looks excellent. Generally, there is nothing bad.
But it is missing some action, emotion… The dragon is looking at something out of the picture. Maybe it’s just in the eye. He could look at the camera - I don’t know.
And it could have also more depth. As Eradicor has already suggested, a couple of stones in the grass could help.

Awesome skin! I’d like to see a tutorial. :slight_smile:

wow! thats awesome! :slight_smile:

Particles, composition, moddeling and texturing are perfect! I like the concept of a wing-less dragon… 5 stars!
