Ok, so I've been working on this sig, and I have absolutely no idea how to make the dragon chain look more like a dragon chain... right now it kinda looks like a shirt with [bleep]es on the shoulders, can someone help me please?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

heres the sig that i need help on:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: is this any better?

 

 

 

I got the same problem so i am not doing any d chains :D

Try to drawn little rings attacked to eachother?

I think you should start without the shirt lines, think of it as heavy metal rings (tend to go straight down due to the weight, I think) that won't bend as easily, whether Rs shows it or not, the [bleep]es should be on shoulderpads, and with the arms in that position the [bleep]es wouldn't be right next to his neck, look at your own arm when it's like that and imagine a [bleep]e at the end of your shoulder to get the right idea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck on the pixel, can't say I have any experience drawing chainbodies but I've tried my best to help you. :D

this look any better guys?

 

 

 

hmm.. May i attempt to shade it?

Hi, I would try make the scales (Calling them that Because I want to :P ) have a darker out line on the main body. And leave it on the shoulders. To show that each scale overlaps the one below it, also some shading could indicate this further. Good Job :D

the dragon chain actually does have shading lol, the "scales" just kinda hide it a bit lol, but yeah, anyone can go ahead and try to shade it better than i did

Now better :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry, i didnt like your color choice... better or worse?

What I meant was to make the outlines of the scales darker so they are more noticable, if they overlap you should shade so that it represents that on the scales :D

nice... but if i were to use that, my work would look horrible compared to it lol... mind explaining how you made it look like that? lol

That's some nice work mega, but I dont think it suits a dragon chain (well atleast in my opinion) I think light colours should continue over the whole of, our right, shoulder. Because thats where the fire will hit and I also think there should be the darker colour on the bottom left (our left) torso. :D

lol what i did is just do a simple layout of darks, then lights, then details... i used a googled pic of real chain mail for refrence

i think you should re-shape the shoulder [bleep]es and maybe have the shoulders separate to the torso but thats just my opinion.

Megadedhed, Your colors are cool, but its shado doesnt fit with torch in corner of picture :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Here is what i made with d med like chain

 

 

 

Here is how i thing horns on helm should look

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

 

 

 

Red= light for d chain, blue= horns and old d med light.

 

 

 

If You, My eggs, have time, change horns and rest shades for this red light/lines.

i edited it a little, just added sum shading to the [bleep]es and arms, added the black trim on the arm-part, and i changed the symbol, also i cut a bit of the cheek on the left, as the face looked a bit puffy. i also modified the d chain's shape to make it look more like the square-ish look of it. hope u like it :I
