Arachnadon - WIP

I think the proportions are nailed down. I will start with the highpoly sculpt soon... : )

Man, while I did like the spider influenced design you had originally, this guy looks awesome

RAKNADON - WIP#2

Looks more like a villain now. And had to change the name slightly.

RAKNADON - WIP#3

white and black version, personally I love the white one!

anon27604699 2018-12-07 14:44:42 UTC #14

RAKNADON WIP #4

Improved lots of things - but I am still not finished with the highpoly. Furthermore, I think this color scheme suits him the best so far! : )

RAKNADON WIP#5

I completely scrapped the idea of Raknadon´s pretty regular wyvren-look, it just didn´t feel epic enough!! Never be satisfied or afraid to kill your artwork that doesn´t work.

These are all really awesome! I love the fact you've been able to alter your designs so completely, but still keep the intended vision of the character intact. I have the bad habit of stickin to my first designs, and not wanting to stray to far from them haha. Keep up the good work!

anon27604699 2018-12-10 10:21:39 UTC #17

Thank you Jordan! : ) I often find myself envisioning a feeling or an emotion that I want to portray, so I don´t stop until I found it.

RAKNADON WIP#6

Tweaked and refined the body proportions and improved it´s jaw anatomy. I need to start with the highpoly as soon as possible - but this is the fun part! : )

RAKNADON WIP#7

Finally decided to jump into some detailing But I still need to figure out the rest of his armor/scales ...

RAKNADON WIP#8

It´s been a week! And today I came up with an awesome pose. So I wanted to give you guys an update : )

I finally managed to nail down his body scales/armor, I did them many many times and tried a lot of different designs. In the end I wanted him to look like a very organic dragon, without any metal parts or so. However, I posed the body just for fun, while being pretty highpoly (2Mio. polys) but It tunred out really good looking... So now I have two options, I will either go back to the unposed version and finalize the highpoly and then try to imitate the pose as closely as possible or I deal with this version and refine it to the end

RAKNADON WIP#9

Another update, pretty much finished the highpoly. Here is an example of how the final image could look like with quick colours/materials from Keyshot. I am going to create the lowpoly now, and then texture him. Wish me luck! (I will be using Substance for the first time)

cedricgo 2018-12-24 00:42:34 UTC #22

Oh man! He seems so ferocious and dangerous. That's awesome

anon27604699 2018-12-24 11:54:27 UTC #23

Thank you! : ) I still need to see how I´ll go about his superpower though. Probably flames coming out of his mouth or maybe he can manipulate gravity...

anon27604699 2019-01-02 23:46:53 UTC #24

RAKNADON WIP#10

Lowpoly, Baking, Texturing - all done! Then I took almost a week off. However, since yesterday I am slowly getting back into gears. Today I have been exploring some color variations (The screenshots are already out of Marmoset Toolbag.)

Oh yeah, and tell me which one you like!

jordan3 2019-01-03 03:11:07 UTC #25

These all look incredible!!! If I had to pick a fav, would probably be the red glow with dark skin, but they all look really sweet! I really like the action pose youve got goin on too. The only thing that seems a little off to me is the colour of the rock? it seems to blend into the foot, and make it hard to see where one ends and the other begins. this might be intentional tho, but thought id mention it. truely awesome work tho

anon27604699 2019-01-03 16:48:18 UTC #26

Thank you Jordan! Great Feedback from you, I probably wouldn´t have noticed.

anon27604699 2019-01-03 17:48:40 UTC #27

RAKNADON WIP#11

a few more versions... I think I will go for the gold one

anon27604699 2019-01-06 20:26:35 UTC #30

RAKNADON WIP#12

I noticed several issues with the previous version, so I decided to give it another try, created a new bake and currently playing with the textures - once again.
