There are so many cool characters in the Splinterlands universe, that it is getting harder and harder to choose which one I want to use in the contest. But this week I decided to do the Lightning Dragon. Number one because he is one of my favorites, and number two, I already had a dragon in my Poser3d Library.

I used this image of the lightning Dragon as my reference. The 3d modling and animation software that I use is called Poser12. It's 3d software that is pretty easy to use but can also get pretty complicated too. I have been using this software since 1998 when Poser3 was first released. And to this day I still have not even come close to figuring everything out lol.

So I started out with my basic dragon model, the challenge was to get him as close to the lightning Dragon as possible.

First I changed his skin color from green to blue, then I added spikes to his nose and back.

I gave him a few extra spikes because I wanted him to look a bit more menacing.

Poser12 also has some pretty cool 3rd party particle effects which is what I used for the lightning. Hopefully one day I will learn everything this program has to offer, so I can make better animations, I just hope Splinterlands is still around by then lol

Another awesome creation! The Splinterland cards offer such a rich variety of subjects to choose from, I know it's hard to pick just one to work on.

Love the way he's flying and spitting the lightning.

Good luck on the contest!

Thanks for the comment @blueeyes8960! It was a pretty challenging animation, but to be honest, I had a harder time trying to figure out which splinter character to do lol

Thanks @maxwellmarcusart, glad you liked it, to do animation in Poser12 takes a bit of patience, but it's easy once you get the hang of it!

If you have been using it since 1998, then you must be a master by now. I am going to check out.

Okay. Do you know any 3D app that would be good for android?

Not really buddy, because these programs are pretty big and they use a lot of computer power, so right now android isnt powerful enough
