Anyone interested in my progress:
Here are some renders of the skin.
Now I just have to rig the bones, joints, and controllers. Problem is, the instructions I have are for a humanoid, so I'm going to have a lot of trial&error. Very time consuming.
When I have more to show you, you'll see it here.

"How do you tell? I mean, what sex a dragon is?"
"You could try asking. Very Politely."
--- I think the book was called Enchanter by Bailey.
I think I have the rig and controls 99% working. Now just a matter of binding the skin to the joints--seriously PITA (pain in the patutie)

You could always rifle through the Dragon models at DAZ 3D to see if there is something you could modify.

Where's the fun in using someone else's model? The whole point was to build my own.
And at this point, it's a matter of weight-painting (assigning the polys&nodes to the joints I want them to respond to--not always the nearest).
And hoping the rig doesn't break somewhere along the way.

Time for some updates.
Have the rig done.
Now I'm trying to weight-paint (attach the vertexes to the correct joints in the correct proportion). Does not help that the tools do not work as advertised.
Anyway.

SnowStar still needs a lot of weight-painting, but here's a preview. Wings are about 1/3 set, and most of the back is now attached properly. Still tons of work to do.
