And another beak face with the thin smooth neck morph.

Doh! Right sorry forgot about it not being rigged yet! *head desk*

Yap size ratio is for sure a factor with where and how the rider is positioned on the dragon.

Yes, the Dinotopia pterodactyl riders tend to have their bodies positioned lying down with feet behind them.



I've been fiddling with this a little about the wing to the body attachment and think it might flow a little better. Though my muscle groups are off on the wing shoulder but there and where the membrane is attached to the body instead of making it straight against the body try sculpting it at an angle against the body. Sorry, probably should of drawn it on a sketch pad straight out as the picture. However, Ken might be the one to consult on the wing attachment.

Love the beak option!!

Can you also make the bottom portion of his chin pointy to go with the beak? That would be a different snout option!

My big complaint about most dragons is they are not bendable enough. I envision dragons as almost part snake, that slither as much as walk and can almost make themselves into a coil like a cobra and with lots of parts on the body and head that bend, inflate for dramatic effect. Sort of like an umbrella cockatoo with their crest and mane up

Manticore? I would def explore that combo more. I don't think anyone has done a manticore!

Love the money pouch and short snout!! The no horns version looks really well for Dragons of Pern great sculpt there!

Looking really awesome!
I like the way the rear foot spurs look on this guy.

Back to Zan and Taji morphs!

Maybe a sort of lose skin pouch hanging down on the throat and perhaps down the neck????
