Hi everyone. I am P1lotz, a professional 3D artist.
I have been working in the field since 2019 and specialize in creating articulated creatures, particularly dragons.
With that said, let me present to you my new Gothic Dragon!
(Thanks to Frsoty for coming up with the name).

This particular model has been printed using morph-coloured filament from FormFutura. FormFutura is a reliable provider of high-quality filaments that come in a variety of colours, making printing both effortless and perfect. The result of the different colours coming together is stunning. and I love it!

Tail moves freely around ✓

Print settings

The dragon does not need much infill. I recommend between 10% and 20%, but 5% works as well.

The dragon does not need any support for printing.

The dragon can usually be printed directly on the printing bed. If any troubles occur, I do recommend printing with rafts.

I advise avoiding using adhesion while printing the model and instead using rafts to avoid problems with articulation.

Designing process

The model is designed in Blender 3D. A tutorial explaining the design process is in the making, so stay tuned if you want to know exactly how to create your own one. I do have an older tutorial you can watch while waiting for the new one, but it is much less detailed than the upcoming one.

This dragon is designed as a twin to my Demon Dragon.

A thank you to FormFutura

Lastly, I want to say thank you to FormFutura for sponsoring this project. The filament they provided me is astonishing. It is in my top 3 filaments of all time for sure (and that is my personal opinion).
