hey there how's it going it's been a bit since my last asset pack video and i'm really glad to be jumping back into it previously i've made a slime skeleton and a wizard if you haven't seen those videos there's a card up top to check out the playlist looking through the comments one of the most upvoted requests was a dragon because it would fit really well with everything that's been made so far a quick side note since i started working on this asset octopus took a big jump so i'll keep that in mind for the future as always if you have a character or creature you would like to see please leave it in the comments below or be sure to upvote if someone's already suggested it whenever i'm sitting down to make a new asset i'm always going to check the comments of the last video before we jump into it i want to thank woka for sponsoring this video and sending me their pro mount monitor amount to try out so i work at a computer all day long but i've always had an issue with getting my monitors up high enough that i could sit with my neck and back straight the pro mount allows me to move my monitors to any position or height that i need with a premium gas powered spring system making for a much more comfortable working setup and installing it was really as easy as turning a few screws it's been so nice being able to sit up and look straight ahead to work has done wonders for my back and posture thank you to woka for sending me the pro mount to try out and share my experience if you would like to get one for yourself there's a link in the description use the discount code nickNUMBER_TOKEN to get NUMBER_TOKEN off your purchase today so a dragon this caused me a bit of trouble actually my first thought was the dragons are large so i figured i could make this into a boss or mini boss like character i doubled the canvas size to NUMBER_TOKEN by NUMBER_TOKEN and got to work blocking out the basic silhouette things were going okay but i could never get it to look quite right the bottom half with the legs just always looked weird and i kept messing with it over and over again every couple of days i would open it back up try something else not like it close it in frustration and this repeated for a while when this sort of thing happens to me i just kind of want to stop working on it because i feel like i'm spinning my wheels and my time could better be spent somewhere else i honestly didn't really know what i wanted and i don't really like the size change i was worried that at the scale it is it just wouldn't be very useful overall i'm a big proponent for the term kill your darlings which means that we can't be precious with our work especially if it's not well working and for me this just really isn't parts of it are cute but i've been bashing my head against it long enough that i don't even really like most of it anymore so on to the shelf it goes i'll probably revisit it at some point in the future but for now i need to move on sometimes in art things just don't work out and for me taking a new approach can really help keep the creativity flowing if you've seen any of my
