Well since you arent done (G) 1 the dragons wing looks torn 2 the succubi look a little pixelated 3 use clays fire mat for the fire from the dragons mouth :] if there is any. looks good!

The succubus looks like it has wings(?) growing out of her ears. Shouldn't they be attached to the shoulder blades? I think the dragon's texture merges too much with the water texture (which is very good btw. (the water texture, that is)). I'm not sure how the dragon texture should be should be different, but it needs to stand out more. Maybe a warm color? Keep working on it. Looks good so far.

I repeat myself, I repeat myself and I talk too much... :) I don't mind the torn dragon wings, in fact I like them. (Dragons go through hell, always being attacked by knights and other do-gooders and stuff...)

Hey, It's looking pretty nice so far, especially the water. The lighting is interesting, but a little muddled as to what's what around the succumbus wings and the rocks behind. Also, is the dragon walking on water, or is there gonna be a suggestion of rocks underfoot? It'll be interesting to see this piece when you get it all polished up. -JavaWiz

Hawk, Great start. I especially like the dragon texture. It's head seems faded by the fog / mist I guess. Ditto on the succubus (correct spelling) wings...need to be lowered and she needs to be textured or adjust lighting. Great posing as I'm wondering what is up there that has captured their attention! Looking forward to the final ver. - Art -

The succubus' wings, yeah, they're too high. As well, the size relationship between the two figures bothers me. The dragon should be much bigger, even if in the background plane. Wish I could afford to get that dragon though

that Dragon was free boney,it's the non poseable Ultimate dragon.and there are actually 2 poses .I'll find a link and send it to you ,( do you recognise the cave wall texture?) the Dragon texture came with the dragon and loaded into the 1st window in the Pic editor, it also came with a bump map which gives it the tatterd look and it's loaded in the 2nd window. I put a dot in diffuse and one in the bump channel , perhaps I could decrease the bump a little, Art your right they are looking at something and I did another test render last night, and modified a few things(actually many) I increased the water frequency a bit but I think I like this water better. as far as the succubus wins(Thanks Art for correct speeling lol) they are as the model came but I could drop them down a bit I guess I was concerned about obscureing her face with them, Thanks for all the input everyone, Thats what I love about this forum.
