Hi guys, I just came across some free time and decided to use it to model something organic, which I rarely do. This humble little dragon is what I have so far. Let me know what you guys think and how to improve it.

Thanks!

Very good start indeed!

I like it, I would watch the front legs though ... Looks like it has somehow one bone only, instead of three and an elbow. Maybe look into a crocs reference, or perhaps if you´re aiming for a higher standing creature, then go for a normal dog bone structure.

Looks good, I’ve never been any good at modelling organic things (well I’ve never been very good at modelling anything particularly organic things). However I agree with adldesigner it needs an extra joint in the front legs.

Thanks guys, I'll take note of your suggestions. Croc references you say? Alright then! Off to Google I go! I'll probably just rebuild the whole thing. Maybe a slimmer dragon. I'll post it as soon as I get something done. Thanks again!
