Can somebody make Smaug for me? I have no real skill with Modelling and Animation, and Smaug is one of the main character. If somebody could do this for me I would be very very appreciative. Smaug should be able to walk on the ground, and have a temporary flying power, like Balrog's only longer, and blow fire. If you can do this please contact me.

-Thanks

You best fatten up that dragon so he looks like Smaug and not a lizard.

[Nertea]

Not quite what I have in mind when I picture Smaug, but it will do. Fatten 'im up a bit. Really, the skin will make or break it.

[TKelly]

It looks great, but I agree with everyboody, it needs to be fatter

why not use fellbeast anims? only edited some

[TKelly]

I asked my friend from my school, as summer reading we had to read The Hobbit, and this is what he said...

The joints need to be smoother, but it might look better after it's skinned.  Also, the top teeth should hang a little over the bottom lip, and there should be legs visible on the other side of the dragon.  Also, the joint between the fore-leg and the stomach has a little cutout.  Last, its tail should be curved to one side, and it might be good to have spikes down its spine, going to the end of the tail.

I merged the two topics to take up less space. But I liked the model a lot, thank you for making it, but yeah if you could fatten him up

Here are some images that I liked. The second one is my favorite.





The second one's colors are really nice. That reminds me, would someone like to help skin Smaug?

I'm a bit hesitant to take on another project, but sure. One more can't hurt

[TKelly]

Thank you a lot! Could you make the skin basically like the second picture, or if you have any ideas...

[TKelly]

why not use fellbeast anims?

Because I want Smaug to be big, lazy, and fat. He's been sitting in a cave for who knows how long, he ain't going to be flying for an infinite periods of time, like a Nazgul. He can walk around like a mumukil, four legs, swingin' his tail, crushing everything in his path. Then he can have a fire breath power, and he can have a wings power where he can fly for a period of time, like a Balrog

PM me the model in gmax format and I'll get to work. As to the skin, I'm quite partial to this, which is essentially the same as the one you like

[|MeMw|Elessar]

and i needed to make a toatly new skelton, 4 legs longer neck, bigger tail. and you can see the other 2 legs ingame just not that pic, yes ia m makiing him fatter that was before i fixed it up. thanks nertea!! i will send you the finished model in a coupke min

[TKelly]

Thanks you guys. Also, Nertea, that picture is awesome too, both made by John Howe, concept artist of the Lord of the Rings, so it'll be like The Hobbit if that ever comes out to the Movie Theaters, and if he helps Peter Jackson again.
