Hero Prop: Designing and Modelling

For my research into medieval pirate's, I decided to design a Viking ship as my hero prop. The main feature of the boat will be the carved dragon on the front.



I took my thumbnail into photoshop and began blocking in colour and adding detail.

 Then I added texture, to create the illusion of scales.
Once I was happy with the face, I began to paint the rest of the boat. Again I added textures to the neck, body and sail.


This is my final concept art for my hero prop.


When it came to modelling my hero prop in Maya, I began by sketching different views of the dragon. To help me begin modelling, I drew the face with polygons, to give a guide.









Above is my finished hero prop. Although it isn't in my concept art or original designs, I decided to add detail to the back of the ship, to make it look like a dragon's tail.
