Draconian Captain

In short, this was recycled model of my entry at Modeling Contest #21. Removed the shitty sparkles and unicorn horn, optimized the helmet and teeth. Also gave black color to match the dragon.
Credits to RetroSexual for real portrait model, blood splats and sounds, portrait anims, fixing dissipate anim, rewrapping lot of things and optimizing this thing.

dude, you gotta rework the legs and the tail of the animal thingie. you can't really wrap a decorated peace of cloth to something that moves like legs do

EDIT: oh, and delete 'walk fast' anim.. doesn't look that good

EDIT2: something should adorn the helm of that guy that's riding.. maybe some horns? :p atm he's a bit bland, as if a soldier only

This is a horse:

Pay a detail to the legs, now look at your model...its anatomicly incorrect...take care of the rider and the axe, which is really big.There is no way that he could ever lift that thing let alone kill someone with it!

Please work on it more, especialy on the points i've mentioned.

I can't download to see it in my model editor (since I'm in my handphone) but judging from the picture, I think his helmet could be better than that, and also fix the horse legs, it look like it wears human shoes o.o you might want to change the axe into lance too, or just make the axe smaller. Draconian are actually has wings, so you maybe have to add it. Haven't see the anim though.
3/5 from me, don't give up! ;D
 
'ey trollman, you're reported for being rude and not really helpful :/ you're insulting the maker more than explaining things to him, as well as demanding changes

now that he's done with.. let's see.. that axe could really use some more draconic touch to it, and, what's obviously a wolf, could be re-wrapped into a land-drake of a sort. would be unique, methinks

Gonna change that

I was thinking of a cape.. But I think horns gonna work.

According to your pic then wc3 horse is also anatomicly incorrect. But you're right on this part.
the rider is just a bland face copy
Nope, it's a body swap.
while the axe is the worst part. Look at how fucking big it is.There is no way that he could ever lift that thing let alone kill someone with it!
I know.
The only thing he could probably do is plow the crops so even your name is wrong, it should be Draconian Farmer.
You said above that he could never lift that thing, how can he plow the crops then? Lol


Draconian are actually has wings, so you maybe have to add it.
The contest version has wings, but I removed it since it's mumbled-jumbled, random, and somewhat sucked.
what's obviously a wolf, could be re-wrapped into a land-drake of a sort. would be unique, methinks
I'll try for that. I can't think much about making his weapon 'draconian' enough. If I resize the axe, it wouldn't reach the enemy. If I only resize the axe's head, it'll be ridiculous. Maybe runesword or such?

Alright, I changed the weapon into halberd (u happy guys?) and added a pair of cool horns in the helm. Haven't updated though. I still had problem changing the horse. Snap dragon texture looked damn ugly and dragon riding dragon would be funny. Maybe I should change back into wolf or try dragonspawn texture on the horse?
 
Actually, I updated it with Naga Myrmidon textured ride. It may look random or what at first, but it's better than before. Screenies haven't updated.

much better :] and kudos on the helm horns :D

maybe you could rework the crotch/legs of the rider a lill, they seem a lill blurry, and maybe have something cover that stretch on the beast's back (largely neck part)

That one's already fixed, thanks to RetroSexual. I just have to rewrap the crotch, the rider's neck and others before updating.
Looks cool... is the spell him slapping his mount on the back of the head?
No! He's throwing energy ball! *looks again* Actually, yes.
