I drew a 3D model of the dreadnought of space wolves (in my interpretation), how do you think it's worth doing a figure?

I like it. Modern space wolves have pelts covering every inch of their body and I think that looks ridiculous. This is a nice toning down of that concept, it looks like a space wolf model while also not looking ridiculous. The only thing I would do differently are the decorations on the shoulders, I think they are too big. I think that both shoulders having such a big object on them splits the focus of the person watching it-you should reduce the size of one (ideally the left one, that shield is a real eye catcher). But, you know it's your model and you think this is better go for it, it looks great either way.

But so without them looks like

I didn't mean to remove both. I meant that you should remove just one or shrink them a bit. Like this it looks just a bit plain. Both versions look much better than the GW one.

How'd you do your hard surface modeling? Just deformation and trim?

Ah Ive got to start using that for more than just adding thickness, thanks. Havent really done robots yet.

If you remove both shoulder decorations is it possible to put the pelt of a dragon/heldrake over your shoulder? Something tied in a cross slash pattern from over left shoulder to under right arm?

Just thinking of ways to decorate it in a pattern that is very much like something the space wolves would do.

I doubt any fur type beast would be that big but a dragon/non-khorne heldrake would be.

Ie you want me to decorate my shoulders instead of shoulder pads (skull shield) with fur as in the original model?
