TOPIC | Ridgeback 3D models
Yo! Thought I'd share these. I decided to 3D model some Ridgebacks! They are my favorite dragon and I want to draw them more. I love the manical, gnarly, snear smiling dragons! They remind me so much of the dragons I saw in anime growing up like [b][url=https://gaogaigar.fandom.com/wiki/Nebula]Betterman[/url][/b], or even [b][url=https://lovedeathrobots.fandom.com/wiki/Khanivore]Khanivore[/url][/b], heck, even FFXIV's [b][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orBwRsK-pCA&t=110s]Provenance Watcher[/url][/b] looks like them. <3. Ridgebacks are so angler and shark-like that they are just too hard for me to conceptualize to draw sometimes, especially with the spire-like horns off their backs. So I created these to help me. I referenced this[b] [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/flightrising/images/d/db/Neondragon_deviantart_ridgebacks.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20211119153803]image[/url][/b] from the wiki. Several years back, I 3D modeled the [b][url=https://www.deviantart.com/lynntv/art/Stormcatcher-3D-Reference-Sheet-595163303]stormcatcher[/url][/b], and used that file to create these. I noticed some new details about ridgebacks to love them even more. Male horns create a straight line from the tip of their nose to the tip of the horn, while females are curved, and the females' faces have smaller cheek and jaw horns. I plan to detail sculpt these in nomadsculpt one day and even give them texture maps but we'll see.

YESSSSSS POINTY BABIES

These are fantastic! And I'd love to see what sort of detailing you do on them later. :D

You always have permission to put art I made for in the dragons bio! Whether a free piece or commission ^_^
Please don't ping me on my own threads.
These are so awesome, I love them! You'd think they'd look goofy from the front but they look really cool, just the right mixture of menacing and charming. Amazing work!
