Modelling a 3D dragon

I found this great tutorial about modelling a 3D dragon, (in 3D studio Max) it explains everything, from concept to texturing to rigging.



Even if you don't know 3D studio max,  it's a good resource to understand how to draw and paint dragons.

Drawing Dragons: Source of inspiration

All the artist sometimes need a source of inspiration, sometimes I found this inspiration looking other people work and sometimes looking dragon miniatures.
The great thing about dragon miniatures is that I can see the dragon from any point of view, and they are a good reference when I want to draw a dragon.

Also, they look great in my desk ;)

This is my favourite dragon miniature:

I bought the dragons in a store...don't remember where...and I bought the mini sword in Toledo, Spain.
Anyway, you can find great dragon miniatures in Amazon:
