Brokul knew there was something special about Hrokr. What had started as a drunken flirt with the highland human in an obscure inn, had turned into an astonishing discovery, when Hrokr revealed he was a Ranger. Nearly legendary, Rangers were told to have mystical powers that guided them in the wilds; unparalleled skills in tracking, hunting and surviving, an immense knowledge of every beast or creature known to man, detailed knowledge of all plants that could be used as remedies for any ailment, or poisons for any situation. Hrokr, it turned out, boasted something special to Brokul however: a vast array of contacts and friends from everywhere upon the face of The World, many of whom shared common interests that Brokul found appealing.
As the orc stared at the hulking, musclebound dragon that landed before them, and greeted Hrokr with polite superiority, he couldn't help but lean towards the human and whisper in his ear:
"This is why I like adventuring with you, Hrokr."
Now it's dragons I be spreading my big muscle infection to. The more muscle the better.

Many thanks for the compliment Meanbeard! The dragon's expression was a slight challenge, working with so non-human a face, but I'm fairly happy with how it came out. And yeah, there's a major size comparison there! When I pulled back the camera and really saw just how huge the dragon was, even I was a bit surprised! But it's good stuff, and definitely helps get closer to my muscle quota I got in my brain!
I'm definitely going to work on doing some custom textures for him. The scales are cool, and authentically dragonish, but the ambient lighting I used caused the scales to be illuminated from all sides, which makes it look like some kind of camouflage almost--all the limbs are blending into each other, and the rest of the body, and urgh. Hard to stare at.
With custom textures, I'll add some smoother surfaces, skin-like scales or something with a little less noise, to make the muscles more visible hopefully. Might take some time while I work on other things, but definitely something I wanna do, cause I love it too, gosh darn it!! <3

Aw man, awesome to hear! Setting aside my weakness of having a thing for brawny-almost-anythings, dragons are definitely one of the more cool brawny beasts I can appreciate!
This was really just a quick test of the model, and as such it's using textures default to the Dragon model, but I'm going to work on my own textures to try and make him less of a mess of scales. I think it's the Ambient Light as well that resulted in a bit of a loss of depth and contrast on his body (hard to tell where his body ends and the limbs begin), so hopefully I can improve him a bit and add some other dragons to join in the fantasy fun! Cheers as always Mongo!!

Hey buddy! With my late response, I went ahead and shared some details on me sharing my characters here. Just posting this so other folks can get an answer if they have similar curiosity.
Cheers for your interest!
