Description Introducing my brand new character, Cela (pronounced Sell-a)

She is a new dragon in many ways.
1 ) Scaleless, she instead has a thick hide.
2 ) New body shape.
3 ) New wing design
4 ) New Ear design
5 ) New method of texturing (notice how smooth her markings are)
6 ) She is quadruped but has opposable thumbs, giving her the ability to grasp stuff in her hands like people do, to some degree.
7 ) Face is fully expressible

And, though its not shown via the model, Cela unlike my other dragons is intellgient and sentient. Chard=cuk, Shilv, Kasaru, Evera, Rasillon are all wild animals, running on instinct. Cela however has an advanced brain like humans and is capable of complex thoughts and speech.

I'll be posting a reference sheet of her sometime. For now tell me what you think.

Made 100% in Blender

I love the aerodynamic design, here! Also, the idea of her being both intelligent and sentient. VERY GOOD POINTS!!

Your Cela is both beautiful and intelligent!

Be sure to keep up the good work!

So this is the brand new character of yours! I apologize my late comment, I saw this deviation already earlier but wanted to take a proper time to comment. I think when you take time to do a new character and model it deserves also a longer comment!

At first, I like the overal look and colors are fresh and bright.
She actually looks kind, shy and gentle so I think it shows what you told - that she is intelligent.
She looks more mammal than reptile to me (just an observation, not a critique) because of ears and paw like feet.
I am not sure if she could fly with wings like that (they would need more space to create air drag) or is it just that the skin behing the wing bones are not showing in this picture?

Looking forward to see more pictures of her and who knows if I do some fan art of her when I get back on track with drawing again.

Thanks.

Glad she comes accross more mamamal then reptile, that is my hopes with this model. And, though I haven't posted her ref sheet yet, its true. These dragons are not reptiles.

Wings, I need to do more work on.

No problem! And thanks for the explanation, then looking like mammal is a good thing.

Cela's kind is a bit... odd.

They share traits with both mammals and reptiles.

Well, I would recommend looking towards giving the front legs wrists, such as a canine or feline would have by simply raising the palms into the air, for the use of animating, study how a wolf or jaguar would run.

No thanks required, I just like giving tips to people so they can view different ways of art, and anatonomy.

Her face seems very sweet, and looks like it will take expressions well. Her feet and hands seem a bit unfinished in terms of their form, and her hands seem a little awkward for function hold anything. I think the wings look very natural and elegant, and I like her color scheme.

Thanks for the opinions. I shall attempt to improve the feet and hands.

Hm.. the ambient occlusion is a little strong.

I like the character design though

I just used 2.5's default AO, didn't bother tuning it.

Thanks.

I love how you did her markings! Your work gives me something to strive for when it comes to learning 3D design and this is a good example of why.

I'm honestly amazed not only at the artwork and the creature itself, but also that you are able to get your head around blender. Kudos, Kudos!!

Thank you.

I really find Blender simple. Though that's probably just from working with it for over five years now.
