               Would prismatic dragon armor be a lot of trouble to make?

AD, I was just kidding on the clones front. However, if you want to use the dragon heads and you don't want to shrink them too much how about using them for the back of the dragonscale helmet (assuming you are going to do one).

TR

I might just use them for helmets, we'll see.  I would like to include them, because we all know someone's character that likes to wear as many dead creature parts on them as possible.

AD, could you make a quick arm piece
(possibly off the loose and flaired model) so that the top has something
the mesh with?

I just might. We'll see how much time I have once I've finished the parts I want to make.

There's a "rainbow/oiled/whatever" color in the metal palletes that would possibly work with the same model as the metallics...just use that instead of gold/silver/copper/brass/bronze.  Closest thing I can think of for the prismatic theme.

As far as using a prismatic dragon head in the work (like I want to do with chromatics and metallics), probably not.  I've never really cared for the NWN prismatic dragons, and they just don't fit in with the classic 5 metallics and 5 chromatics.

Well, (and this would be plan OTR, if you are really bored, and you'd like to take a look into the model/animations, I'd be glad to send them to you! '>

I can't, unfortunately.  I'm not set up for it at the moment.

NP, OTR. It was just an idea for a maybe quick solution, which came to my mind.
When changing back into the toon-appearance and "remount", all looks well again. So it's not a real problem.

I decided to add a evil one, even when I know perfectly that oriental dragons are always good and wise beings, incarnations of heavens and nature's powers....

Not necessarily... Many dragons were good, buuut! There were some japanese dragons said to eat humans, for what I perceive as, "for sh*ts and giggles".. Doesn't seem very heavenly to me. Then chinese dragons, they were generally good as long as humans were loyal to them, which is pretty much, they viewed it as, if you angered a dragon by not giving them what they want, you could bring upon a drought on your land. Japanese dragons having more to do with bad sea weather than rain, since Japan didn't really care about rain. I don't know enough about korean dragons to say anything about them, but they were probably much the same.

So basically, "good" not so much all the time, "wise" sure, "incarnations of heavens and nature's powers" they were magical beasts, who varied just as much as you and I it seems. Now, the only remaining question is, which of us eats human beings for sh*ts and giggles? '>

I do know they ascend to heaven or what-not, but they aren't exactly the heavenly things we see in our minds now, it seems! Heavenly would mean, they're good-aligned, no? They seem more to vary good to neutral to evil..


Either way, all the lovely work is very nice! And visually and representatively, the oriental dragons are very nice! :happy: The evil one, I so would've made black, but hey! *Shrug!*


Also I likely won't be able to get into this month's challenge, because of some outer things in RL, and a busy schedule in general, for my max. But that's okay!

               Current work in progress.

Done:
- chest, belt, shoulders, forearms, shins
- 2da entries for model numbers 219, 220, 221

To Do:
- make inventory icons for chests, shoulders, belts
- make versions of each for female, large pheno, and large pheno female
- run through NWN Armory for versions for other races
- compile all models

Quick toolset screenshot.  Ignore the scale hovering infront of the NPC, it's just base scale used for building each piece and will be removed for the final versions.

               @ TAD: I like those suits and I'm looking forward to be using them IG! Any chance for at least one female model - maybe even after the May-CCC?

Boob space is the most work in scaling/shaping for females.  It's a lot of overlapping layers and vertices.  So far, so good.

Like I mentioned a while ago, this won't be your typical armor where suddenly half of it vanishes when a female puts it on.

I guess, it was late and my eyes half shut... :innocent:
And I like the idea of having a full cover armor for females, too, not just an uber protective bikini model!

               But according to all the cartoons... So where will all the arrows be magically attracted to then?

I've only managed to give Cestus a few hours at the forge, so our metallic dragon remake is just not gonna happen this month. I'm sorry about that.

Especially since it means the blasted dwarf has nearly drunk my cellars dry. :-/

After migration, I will be returning to this, bumping it ahead of the ABC: Into the Green, Baba Yaga's hut (the skin-mesh creature version) and the Damned.

I'm just too busy :-(

               Y'all got a few more days to get your stuff in.  I'm not done with my own quite yet. '>

If anyone wants to sneak something in quick, there's still plenty of non-model things that can be done...prefab NPCs, items, conversations, cutscenes, encounters, areas, new dragon-related scripts, etc. '>

               <dancing a little...>

Well, I *did* add a couple custom anims to the green dragon - pounce & sleep. I guess I could toss that in :-) They're rough, still, but useable.

I'll wing them your way :-)

Sleep:


Pounce:


With bonus Godzilla footsteps and breathweapon sounds ;-)
