Head texture request with reference image - 50k


I want a dragon head texture, it must be dark, realistic, detailed and evil.
Take inspiration from the image I posted regarding colors and design (yes, I want plates and teeth and everything else).

If you have no idea on how a dragon head texture should look like, this head (linked from RAWR art gallery thread) can help you regarding proportions or how horns/mouth should look like:



-If I can't decide between two textures I like, I'll buy both.
-Prize is 50k, if I'll decide to buy 2 heads, each one will be bought for 50k.
-Expect to be asked to make a couple of edits on the texture you've made.
-The reference image is there for a reason, if you have old and unsold random monster heads laying in your folders, do not post them.
-If you can't shade, don't even try this one, you'll just waste your time.
-If you suck at realism but you're willing to make a really epic anime/vector/cartoon dragon, go for it it, I may buy yours too.

I wouldn't want to wait more than 3-4 weeks for this request, however, if you show me an epic preview and ask for more time to finish the texture, you'll have all the time you need.

That is all, make me happy.

xoxo

Hi. This is also just a preview to see where will parts of dragon face will be and where is the dark and white spots. I will use the color from the image that u provide, and make a realistic as possible. I used your image just as a reference, and put some stuff that i think would be good, but your word is final...

I'm looking forward to see you on irc monobi.

Kung and j4n, I like both your previews, everything is in the right place, even if kung's one is more advanced since it already has plates.

Keep going!

Well, I just made the shaded version (mine have plates too but only in front of the dragon face). I must tell you - more realistic approach - less details shows - maybe something in between, less realistic would be the best solution.

Here it is:
8OJ4N: Much better, I really like it! But i want plates on the sides/back of the head too: I want them to make a twirl around the eyes and then go down to the sides of the mouth without covering the hornes on the sides, pretty much like the picture.

Ninja0King: The design is really good, but I don't like the proportions: the mouth is too large, eyes too wide apart and the nose is too big, can you shrink it?

This is another low quality preview made from scratch, just for u to see where are the eyes, mouth and plates. Now the plates are covering dragons head. If u like it - I'm gonna do the shaded version.
Monobi: keep going, I'm really interested to see how you'll develop that.

Ezeth: Really well made head, just a couple of things: The mouth is a bit too big, can you move it a little bit upward? And those 2 white things at the sides of the eyes, are they bones, or plates? Can't really get it from the shape.

fawflaw: Totally awesome, one of my favourite heads so far. Just a couple of things here too: the eyes are a bit too far apart and I'd like to see some space between the top and the low plates too see some flakes or bones on the sides or the back of the head.

8OJ4N: Why did you start brand new head? I Liked the previous one, I just wanted to see plates on the sides ^^

I'm amazed to see so many high level textures, taking a decision won't be easy at all, thanks for the time you're spending on this request.

Not at all ^^

It's just that I don't feel like asking you to edit anything else, your texture is done, and it's a nice one! Now I'll wait for everyone else to finish their textures and take my decision later. In the meantime, if you want to edit yours, you're free to.

Ok, I'm waiting for monobi and pate5, then I'll decide which texture to buy.
If anyone wants to give it a shot you're still in time.
