Just something I've been working on NEIS slowed me down for a while, Now they want me to do even more bullshit!

[katzzz]

Looking good, but the edge around his mouth bothers me. It looks rolled ??/ Love and hugs Katzzzz

[Niemmy]

Yer it does look a bit rolled, But there are frills that have to go around the mouth that I yet to add that may fix it up a bit

Rolled mouth! Indeed!Well I never! hehe

[Niemmy]

Everyones an art cricket! hehe

[katzzz an cats]

I am sorry , you know I love your work!!
I knew you would not do it that way with out a reason I just did not know the reason. Sorry my bad.
See , when I think of dragons I think of snakes because of the scales on them so snakes have a smooth mouth . Thats why I could not understand the semi roll.
I am new to the idea that dragons can have a frill around the mouth.
limited exposure to dragons I guess??

[Niemmy]

I forgive you Kats "Many others wouldn't " ;D ;D hehe




See they both these designs have sort of lip rolls, Since I'm mainly taking the design from my tattooing experience. ;D

[Niemmy]

Ok got all the textures done! ;D ;D ;D Yeh! Now i can go back to drinking beer and being a smart arse ! ;D ;D ;D


I think the tail looks quite lovely ;D

[katzzzz]

I love that tail!! It looks so good.
I can almost see it whipping around in the air!! Cool. And I really do like the colors. Good night Bubba. They are supposed to bulldoze around the house tommrrow and I know they will take out my lines so I may not be around for a few days.
Unless I go to moms and use the lap top.
Do you think an older lap top is worth up dateing?
ttyl Katzzz

Hi Katz

And see you in a couple of days mate.So anyway moving along, I did an rigging test to see how all the components move together and the serpents body can be controlled by just six clusters which takes alot of effort out of animating the creature and the tail has set key bones that simulate the tail swishing and looks pretty good, But the there is a problem with the shader , It's going to be difficult how to simulate the shaders from Zbrush to Maya. I hope it's something I can fix in post or at least come up with a decent Maya shader.

[Katzzzz]

I hope you can get it from zbrush to Maya.
I think its really neat looking and you have to post it swishing so I can see it .
I really like it. the tail tip looks so organic almost in its shape. neat.

[Niemmy]

Yep! no worries Katz!

I'm using displacement maps for the head and normal maps for the rest, It should look pretty good when I run it through Nuke, That has some good software to clean all the problems up. So are you back from Moms?

[katzzzz]

I called the phone comp. to get them out here to move the lines and they wont get here for two buisness days so we told the contractor to wait and since he was at the eagles when we located him I don't think he cared.
The Eagles is a local privite club and this is a very very very dry county. No beer , no nothing. Everyone around this county is Wet but not us.
I do live in the Bible Belt .
So if you want to drink you go to the Legion or The Eagles. Unless you go all the way to the lakes which is what the upper crusters do , they think we peons don't know they get drunk and do nasty stuff.
Our old county attorney got so hooked on coke that he got cought in a motel with a very young boy with coke and we heard it on the radio once and then nothing.But he was retired very soon after t hat.
