DonDustin: works ingame and performs well. The unwrap of the shade model is excelent and the low file size is a "+" aswell.
This is also a nice upgrade of your other verion even if I think that the head could have needed a more advanced design :>

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

lol same dragon but with a mow hawk type thingy XD

 

[Thrikodius]

Mohawk type thingy, bigger wings, facial horns, kickass tail. I couldn't think of more things to do without making it spammy.

 

[wereguy2]

Ok, I take back what I said in the chat about it being too fat, it looks fine in Magos.
Awesome model, though the wrap could be a little bit better. This would not be noticeable ingame though.

 

[Wraithling]

I can see the effort put into this one and I like it, especially the teeth and the tail.

A few animations though, kinda lack 'oomph'. I would certainly like to see its head bobbing up and down during the walk animation, and also a deeper 'thrust forward' for the devour animation (this is your bigger version after all). But these minor points aren't going to shroud my overall liking for your dragon

4.5/5

 

[Thfatman]

I like it. It looks like a cross between a frost wyrm, and a shade. Looks really nice. Have yet to use it ingame yet.

 

[-Berz-]

Looking good

And cute evil

 

[Misha]

Another model from Thrikodius. What more to say :]

 

[Darkmoon Hero]

Nice, nice...

 

[X-OMG-X]

Looks cool but i would like to see some more damaged wings.

 

[Thrikodius]

Looks cool but i would like to see some more damaged wings.

That would require an edit of the shade texture.

 

[Tleno]

We at Tleno's Chicken Lobist corp. request chicken ghost! or at least demon turkey.

 

[AIagremm]

Neat. However I expected him to be more like a dragon.

 

[draken koning]

it would hafe been cooler if it was like a dragon and not like a wyrm, give him some feet longer neck and some cool horns (maybe saphiron look a likes)

 

[Thrikodius]

No legs means no feet.

 

[Deolrin]

It would be awesome if you would add a horn on his 'nose', where that hole is, and add some team glow to his eyes.

 

[Thrikodius]

That hole is the nose holes (don't know the correct english form). It would have to be on the very tip of the head just above the front teeth.

 

[Deolrin]

Well, you could be original and add a horn there. That would also add to the awexomeness factor. Oh, and I suppose you mean 'nostrils'?

 

[HappyCockroach]

Looks like a Fallen Fearie Dragon =P
You could make the head smaller and the wings bigger in order to make it look more epic.

 

[erikzul]

Awesome Model! I agree with the others, I think you should make a more dragon like version as well.

 

[Absent]

I, personally, like the worm-ish look this and the baby version have. +rep for the awesome duo.

 

[Alfagar]

Another model from Thrikodius. What more to say :]

Firstly, you should redo your reply to: ''Another >awesome Epecness< model from Thrikodius. What more to say'' And add a Ni D Do your wohrst

 

[Deolrin]

Oh, and you could maybe make the eye-holes a tad smaller. It would look better, in my opinion.

 

[StaberFire]

Oh snap, shit just got real.

 

[AbstractCreativity]

Awesome. Like the whelp.

To be honest, I think it would look better without the boney, spikey mohawk ridge-thingie, and with its facial horns pointing backward instead. Well that's my opinion though.

An incredibly awesome model nonetheless.

Roflcopter!

 

[draken koning]

ok its nice but i hafe an idea fore ancient dragon for you look this http://ftp.ubi.com/emea/homm5/screenshots/HOMM5_Necropolis_Creature_Shadow_Dragon.jpg pretty sweet it would finnish the shadow dragon family perfectly i think

the thing has legs
theme is no legs

XD

 

[Thfatman]

Easily solved. Just take out the legs. haha

 

[Misha]

we'll see what Thrikodius says..

 

[Thrikodius]

I don't like legs on the Shadow Dragons. They look too wrong when I put them on. After all this is not an ordinary dragon. It's crippled just like the shade is and the head is bigger. Most of the reason to why I don't want to make the head smaller is because I want to keep the mighty split-you-in-half feeling of the yaw.
I tried to make horns that pointed backwards but they looked like some fucked up Manga-Wolverine haircut. I'll try and add a nasal horn later and see how it comes out, maybe make the wings bigger to make it more terrifying.
What I've really wanted to add is a kind of heart but I can't find a fitting texture.

 

[ShadowDemonLord]

Looks a bit small to me. perhaps lengthen him out some?

 

[havard1993]

i like it even better than the other one, good job

 

[SoneOfDarkness]

its look very good and nice)

 

[dragor89]

me like it

 

[JIEJIYLLI]

Nice =d

 

[somecrazyhobo]

The tail looks weird, a little short. Otherwise this is awesome.

 

[Maximum_Evil]

Looks nice, just what I needed ^^ 4/5

 

[eric1995]

con que crean estos modelos porfavor suban un altar para los renegados o forsaken

 

[eric1995]

with creating these models please go up an altar for the renegades or forsaken

 

[eric1995]

I think the shadow dragon is more suitable for the sylvan renegade creep race instead of going to download it and add it to the campaign to fight against the scourge ice win

 

[SirMelf]

I think the spine is too thick and the ribs too, if i imagine how he looks like alive... else i like this model, especialy the skull^^

 

[Thrikodius]

Well this<->living dragon is like Shade<->Acolyte. The Shade's proportions are a bit exagerated aswell compared to the Acolyte.

hm, in my opinion its still a little too big, looks like a giant worm (the spine) to me. but thats just my personal liking^^ its not that dont think this modell is very good^^

 

[Aizec]

The best undead dragon...from my game xD

 

[SanKakU]

this model is so epic...it puts the hero model that i was planning to have summon it to shame. i was surprised, it looks much better than the screenshot, and i thought it would look good just from the screenshot. just a note, it looks like crap as a neutral colored unit, which is fine i suppose. it looks great with the color...most modelers will ignore coloring but you used it well. gj.

 

[MattWisniewski]

about the legs

if u wanted u could try to remove the 2 back ribs and add legs back there, like a frost wyrm.

 

[oOmassOo]

Awesome and useful ! I like it!

 

[animewidri2]

Wow!!! Adult version of the other Shadow Dragon
