i was practising drawing stuff for the barbeque during my lunch break, so its on brown paper from a component box in biro. Eugh. Anyways, i did another good dragon today (IMHO) and left it pretty plain so i could work out dimensions and stuff. They're far from perfect but its onto the refinement stage.<br><br>Will attach pic soon, i promise.<br><br>OK here u go. I still think the nose is a little long but ill work on it.

Ozy - do like the dragon sketches. And even if you think they're not all that hot, trust me, I can screw up stick figures. Then again, if everyone could draw stick-figures, Lowry wouldn't have been a celebrated cityscapist.<br><br>Bendarr. Yeah, your cgi is nice. Refrained from coment earlier because I don't like to judge from metalic stuff, since it's hard to tell a good cgi-ist from an awsome cgi-ist with it. Clouds and organics and stuff are where the difference tends to show, and that pic... Lands you at low level awsome I think (hey, I've seen better clouds, but they're certainly not the lifeless clouds of a merely good cgi-ist). Nice planet, btw <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:blue'>Thanks for the input. I'll pay closer attention to my cloud work in the future. I always enjoy getting honest input. Especialy when it tells me where I did right and where I need to improve. I'm thinking about starting a thread in the anything board and posting a pic or two for you people to give input on my work. It'll help me to improve my technique. </span> </span>

If I could do 3D like that...I have 3DSM4 but i cant really use it properly.<br><br>Thanks for the compliments by the way, all. I think I can draw now, so Im gonna be workin on the pic over the weekend.

wootage Bendar.

What i'm wondering is, that spaceship is in space right because the planet looks far away? Then what are clouds doing in space? Are they clouds?<br><br>Maybe i'm using too much logic here.

[Arloest]

That is purely awesome Bendarr. It just looks so effind cool.

The general idea behind the clouds was a attempt at a nebula. Here is one where I was able to get the starfield to work correctly but I had another problem. Mostly black spacecraft against a black background. How to solve it? My solution was that I made a sorta forcefield effect around the ship.</span></span>

[Foxchild]

Awesome, there! I don't evver seem to put enough time into anything i do like that. ... oh, i just got an idea for something in another thread... ^.^

[Ozymandias]

I don't know if thats a cool texture on the ship or its just reflecting the planet because its shiny. o0o...shiny....

[Bendarr]

<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:blue'>It's a cloud texture called Jetstream. basicly what I did was take the ship, duplicate it, enlarge it just a little and apply the Jetstream cloud texture instead of it's normal colors. </span> </span>

[Gizensha]

I still say you rock at planets. And with the first one, I actually thaught that it was from a moon orbitting a gas giant *shrugs*

[Zylo]

Awesome, awesome stuff.
