Certainly! I shouldn't have any trouble with that character, feel free to take your time deciding :)

@Merk Thank you for your patience! After some thinking I've decided to fully commit and get a painted fullbody, please! If you have any questions about the character's design, or need additional reference for anything, just let me know <3

Also, do you accept mixed payment? (I'd like to pay half in treasure and half in gems if possible!)

@Razatharia
Sounds good! I believe the ref you sent will be enough, I'll let you know when I get started. Mixed payment is fine as well.

@Merk hello! I'm trying to get into making 3D models of FR dragons and saw you've done them before - I was wondering what your process is? Specifically with posing models, do you first make a riggable model and then pose it or do you make the model posing in the first place? Sorry if that doesn't make sense hgfjdshjsdf and thank you for your time!

@reybrella
I start all of my models in the T-pose or A-pose, which makes it easier to sculpt any parts of the body that need symmetry (this is the same process for a game-ready model too!). If I'm painting any parts that are symmetrical I do it in the T-pose as well.
Once the symmetrical sculpt is done and the client wants it posed for 3D printing or art reference, I use a tool in Zbrush called Transpose Master (Blender has a similar tool but I'm not sculpting in that software unless you pay me), that lets you make a simple proxy rig using the Zsphere tool. I can usually get a decent pose with it, but it's a little finicky with things like wings so I pose those manually :P
Posed parts like flowing hair, drapery, etc, will be sculpted after the character is posed, as well as if I'm doing any handpainted shadows.
Eventually I hope to make game-ready animateable rigs of all the FR dragons. Maybe someday lol

Thank you so much!! That helps alot <3 Let me know if you end up making posable models of breeds on site that could be used/bought! :D
