[center] [size=6] Willow's 3D dragon project! [/size][/center] [center] [size=2]I am working to make 3d models for all the hard to draw breeds. I have been in this fandom for 7 years now, and as a young artist I really really struggled to draw some of the dragons that had nothing comparable to them in the real world. I lack a minds eye, and so it was and still is difficult for me to draw without a reference. My goal with this project is to help other artists who might want to branch out of the same poses, and same easy breeds they feel comfortable drawing. So as a result these are totally free to use. Trace over them, eye ball them, edit the image, I do not care. It is totally free use, you do not have to ask to use it, and you do not have to give me credit unless you want to! I would REALLY LOOOVE to see anything you make if you reference any of these, I might even display it in the forum in the featured comment if you want! [/center] [color=008000] I will remake, edit and add different variations for these in the future if I see they are being used! High demand breeds will be prioritized! So please comment, share and let me know if you would like to see this grow in the future! I would also REALLY love to see what you make so please share in DM or here if you want to! It would make this worth it if even just one person finds these helpful[/color] [center]You can use these for adopts, art, animations, and edits. (I am going to do a huge revamping of this at some point since I do not like how bad the formatting and code looks atm. expect some changes) [/center] [center][img]https://f2.toyhou.se/file/f2-toyhou-se/images/68331216_z21fW7181aC2f2r.gif[/img][/center] [center][size=7]Currently avalible:[/size][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/MaZEQPS.gif[/img] [center][url=https://imgur.com/a/3DTzmA4]Undertide folder 1[/url] (lots of closed and slightly open mouths) [url=https://imgur.com/a/h1jO2sk]Undertide folder 2 [/url] (open mouths and very wide opened mouths) [url=https://imgur.com/a/bLdmMFc]Aether V1 folder 1 [/url] (closed and slightly open mouths) [url=https://imgur.com/a/EWu0AhQ]Aether V1 Folder 2[/url] (wide open mouths) [url=https://imgur.com/a/JAXPuU7]Aether v2[/url] [/center] [url=https://imgur.com/a/guicJdN]Pearlcatcher V1[/url] [url=https://imgur.com/a/rspBtUe]Pearlcatcher V2[/url] [center][img]https://f2.toyhou.se/file/f2-toyhou-se/images/68331216_z21fW7181aC2f2r.gif[/img] [/center] [size=6]Examples in use[/size] [img]https://i.imgur.com/iGD6Lu9.gif[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/tAbztkO.gif[/img] [img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/da7f0acbdd8ed6942bcf0e38aa9c5f10/e4294e2c86e5799f-b7/s500x750/41e485a176981f35c95f22fabff1b4803ab6afcd.gif[/img] [size=2] [url=https://imgur.com/a/VRwkLNH]list to featured dragons here! Thanks to all who let me draw their dragons![/url][/size] [size=2]I made these examples to be very close to the model so that it shows what it would look like if you followed it somewhat strictly. I really do encourage you all to make this fit your style and edit it in ways that look appealing to you. Sometimes aesthetics can be more important than accuracy.[/size][/center] [center][img]https://f2.toyhou.se/file/f2-toyhou-se/images/68331216_z21fW7181aC2f2r.gif[/img][/center] Most recent wip: [img]https://i.imgur.com/seeTtG2.png[/img] [center][size=5]Don't see a pose you want? Comment or DM me on FR and I will add it to the collection. You will NOT bug me by asking for a new angle/mouth pose. Be specific on what you want, and I will do my best to give you what you need.[/size][/center] [center]Please let me know if there is any breed you would like me to make. The more requests a breed has, the higher priority I will have to finish it. [/center] [size=1]I am new to 3d models, and don't aim for perfection. Please refrain from insulting or nitpicking my models, they are meant to be a reference for art. Anything you don't like can be changed by you when you are drawing.[/size] [center] [pinglist=27370] get a ping when only polished models are posted. [pinglist=14446] get a ping when new models are posted [pinglist=14447] Get pinged when I need help with decisions on anatomy. Examples of questions I might ask are: What teeth do you think a snapper would have? [/center] ----- [center]Shout out to LynnTV!! Who is making a very faithful version of the FR dragons in 3d form. Check it out [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3371345]here[/url]! There are several models I have not made yet! (don't worry, I will still be making my own versions too. Two cakes, and all that.) [/center]

Keep that in mind if you intend to use them! Any FR dragons you see posted here will eventually be replaced with a proper model like my above examples. [center][b][url=https://imgur.com/a/3JfkIzH]Mirror[/url][/b] Please be aware that its lower jaw and teeth are far from perfect on this mirror. I encourage you to slim the jaw down when drawing, since this is a modified head for one of my OCs, [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/88252739]Jovial[/url], who has a fat head for a mirror. I could not edit the jaw down enough without REALLY messing up the teeth, and this is meant to be temporary so I did not want to remake the whole jaw. [/center] [center][b][url=https://imgur.com/a/7H93OVC]Coatl [/url][/b] Super simple mouth, with only the bottom fangs, but otherwise nothing is wrong with it. It is a bit more stylized to my preferences, but barely.[/center]

yesss these are so awesome!! excited to see undertides done, and i'm super excited for the snapper too - i know they can give people some trouble and a model of them would be so good to see.

for another breed, i think i would vote for aether! they seem a bit tricky to me, especially their heads haha

I would also request aether for the next breed!
I've seen multiple artists struggle with them (myself included).

Thank you so much for making these!
I think they'll be of huge help to many.

(I also had no idea what animals to use as references for undertides before reading the tips, so thank you for that aswell!)

@pheelthemoment
Haha! I am so so happy to help. I already have to use them for myself, even if only three of my OCs have a 3d model so far. It felt kinda lame to hold something like this to myself and NOT share it.
Aether will be next then, maybe even before the snapper... we will see. But HOH BOY, I should've known since Aether's are the breed I struggle with as well. I just hope I can get them right, since the babies seem to have a bit of a muzzle and the adults don't? Maybe I will make two versions, one with a slight muzzle, and one with a flat face. The jaw will be unlike anything I have made so far.
Thank you!

@UniKorpi
Thank you so much! I am probably going to do the aether next, maybe before the snapper. They are going to be the biggest challenge I think. Debating on doing a male and female variant due to the differences in horns (?'?'?) that all depends on how hard the horns will be to make tho LOL

ALSO I so get you with that!! I still struggle to find some animals to use alongside other breeds. I think the closest to a tundra I could find was a sea otter. I am mad for the ocean and marine life though, so maybe I just gotta learn about more terrestrial animals

@ProtolopeQuin Thank you!! And omg SAME!! Tundra are on the list of dragons I want to make, I struggle a lot with them. I always just end up giving them a different muzzle because I get frustrated [emoji=tundra tongue size=1]

absolutely subbing to this. this the best thing on this entire website
