Miltowner Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Very nice. I almost hate to mention that nearly all quadrupeds (horses, dogs, cats, lizards, etc.) forelimbs are jointed just like a humans is (elbow bends forwards, not back); the joint you are mistaking for a knee is actually a wrist analogue. Thus really all you had to modify was the foot or hand as it originally was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sundseth Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) I almost hate to mention that nearly all quadrupeds (horses, dogs, cats, lizards, etc.) forelimbs are jointed just like a humans is (elbow bends forwards, not back); the joint you are mistaking for a knee is actually a wrist analogue. 1) This is a three-year-old thread (well 2½ anyway) and the poster's last post was in August of 2010. While that's certainly no bar on commenting, I wouldn't expect the OP to see your comment. 2) In both humans and horses, the joint between the radius/ulna and humerus bends toward the core of the body, as does the join between the femur and the tibia and fibula. I would not refer to both of those as "forward". The joint the OP is "mistaking for a knee" would, in a horse, be called a "knee", even though it is the joint between the radius/ulna and the metacarpal, so calling it a knee in a fictional creature seems reasonable to me. (You are correct that the joint between the radius/ulna and the metacarpals in a human would be called a "wrist".) 3) The anatomy the OP created for his or her dragon seems workable to me and I quite like the final result. 4. Welcome to the boards. ps. Nice Ogre. Edited March 8, 2013 by Doug Sundseth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While that's certainly no bar on commenting, I wouldn't expect the OP to see your comment. I check in occasionally to see if there are new comments. This is still one of my favorite pieces I've done. :) The joint structure of the piece was based on the canon sketches of this world's dragons in the first book of the series. I can't find the exact sketches used online, though. I used similar images as the reference material for this conversion / build.

araziel Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Wow, I haven't seen this before now. That's some crazy good work on both the conversion and painting. Looks so incredibly cool finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
