Series: Creating a Stylized Dragon – Part 2

In this multi-part series, I’ll be covering how to box-model a stylized dragon, making heavy use of the various sculpt tools. The texturing will cover creating tangent normal maps and using the “toon shader” to get a nice cel-shaded look. I’ll also go into some intermediate rigging with some nice animations; from walking to pouncing to flying. and finally we’ll look into setting up a good composition with props and lighting.

In this second part, I do some tweaking of the face, and go on to add the body, legs, and tail. I also create the inside of the mouth. This is required if we are to make him roar later.

This file got a bit large also and we will be working on future ones to break these apart into two downloads for purchase or for the Citizens.

    Hi Dave!

    Just wanted to tell you that this tutorial is awesome and I can’t wait for the next part. I’ve been following along closely and this is what I created up until this point http://bit.ly/cmxOtZ (I’m trying to take a slightly different approach in style).

    Kudos to you.

    the style reminds me of the legend of zelda: wind waker.
