WIP HiveWire Dragon Begins

[Miss B]

I also like the Eastern dragons, especially during Chinese New Years.

 

[RAMWolff]

Yea, back in the day when DAZ had created a proper Eastern Dragon I really loved it. But now with all the new tech and better mapping and all that a new one is in order. I think RAWN did his best to make one out of their dragon but it just looked off to me so never bought it.

 

[Miss B]

I think I got the DAZ Eastern Dragon bundled with the Mil Dragon back in the day. Hmmmm, wonder where I have that buried. ~looks over at the stack of CDs and external hard drive~

 

[Satira Capriccio]

I still have both installed. I even loaded the Mil Dragon 2 this morning ... thinking I'd see if I could render the style of dragon I'd like to have. But ... um. No go. Mil Dragon 2 works for making the stockier dragons, but I wasn't able to get a slim, elegant dragon.

While I want both Eastern and Western, I'm also hoping the HiveWire dragon will work for both the stocky, earth and fire dragons and the slimmer, more elegant air and water dragons.

Even better would be to be able to create a hybrid Eastern and Western dragon :wink:

 

[Miss B]

I had them installed on my old laptop, but when I got this one 4 1/2 years ago, I didn't reinstall a lot of stuff, and the Dragons were among those that didn't make it back into my Runtime.

 

[AetherDream]

I am very much looking forward to this one!

 

[RAMWolff]

There was a very elegant dragon made as a freebie that Arien remapped at one point before her career took off called "The Legendary Wyrm" and to this day it's still one dragon I love because of it's slender form. Did a quick conversion to iRay!

 

[NapalmArsenal]

Gorgeous sculpt!!

I actually would not mind taking a crack at doing the maps for said beastie!!! Also Gotta have wings!

I have the perfect model in mind too and some refs of him. Go TCU!! Texas Christian University's mascot is the Texas Horned Lizard. Known to most as a toad though! =P

Yes, they squirt blood out of their eyes! When they get upset.

Awesome NP

I always thought this little guy (Armadillo Girdled Lizard) looked like a little dragon

 

[Rae134]

ohh sorry that was sooooo biggggg!

 

[NapalmArsenal]

@Rae134 , That's a cute little critter there =) Do they make good pets?

 

[RAMWolff]

Totally cute. Why does it bite it's own tail I wonder?

 

[Rae134]

Apparently they make ok pets but not for those who want an affectionate reptile. They don't like being handled.

The do that RamWolff to protect their soft parts from preditors.

From a website on pet reptiles: "Originating from Africa, the golden armadillo lizard has made its way into the exotic pet market because of its unusual behavior and manageable size. These lizards are famous for their ability to curl into a ball, protecting their soft underbellies and displaying their hard, spiny scales. Although atypical in appearance and ability, the armadillo lizard requires basic reptile care."

 

[Miss B]

That is one cute reptile.

 

[eclark1894]

That is one cute reptile.

No such critter.

 

[VortigensBane]

How 'bout a chimera... have the cat body, working on the dog head, working on the lizard; we could even throw in a Harry-head, hoofs, dragon claws, griffin wings... or maybe a Cerberus...

Liking the big lizard so far too...

 

[Miss B]

I had suggested a Chimera in the Big Cat thread. I suppose, though, it would work here too, because they usually have the "tail of a dragon".

 

[Rae134]

Harry would be hard to add VB as he doesn't use this mesh but the others should all work?

(I'm hoping for a Griffin and/or Hippogriff , once wings are made, both feathered and leather, if someone made the birdy bits I think this would be possible)

 

[NapalmArsenal]

I'm hoping for a Hippocampus similar to the ones in Percy Jackson.

I'm hoping for a Hippocampus similar to the ones in Percy Jackson.

That's a beautiful creature for sure. Loved seeing that creature in the movie.
