Dragon Skin

Skinning Questions, Suggestions and Ideas

Postby Elvamir » May 14th, 2008, 9:34 am

Would love to see a nice skin that is dragon (medieval, not oriental style) themed. Something winged, or wrapped around an orb breathing fire, or even just a dragon claw wrapped around some sort of orb. Anything dragon themed would be great and probably fit a lot of people's desktop environments. Thoughts?

Err...huh?

Anyway, a dragon design would be easy to make. Look at old manuscripts -- they had a very limited colour palette, due to improper colour theory being practiced. Or better yet, since there's not a bunch of dragons in Medieval manuscripts, you're better off to look at Gothic sculpture or Proto-Renaissance paintings. Uccello is a good start: http://www.math.miami.edu/~larsa/uccello_st_george.jpg

Bust out illustrator and start drawing, nobody is going to make you a skin that you'll be satisfied with unless it's by your own hand.

actually i think this would be a good idea. being a 3D modeler and such along with a posing of interactive interface programs,
i think it would be simeple to make one based of off the millennium dragon in DAZ,

here is a OLD pose and texture i did for him some time ago.
with the right modifications it could really be a nice skin, with the ORB idea and all ..

or even something like

perhaps i will undertake this as a project,
but make it not old but very modern... nice idea
