wow
kool armor man
the lightning really works with the overall image
and one last thing
DUCK!
Reviews for "That storm within..."
Fatchaos responds:
Thanks a lot, I was very uncertain about the lightning at first, so it's good to see it went alright.
Heheh, wise.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
THIS SHIT IS AWESOME! i like the whole environment of the whole, sorry if i don't pay attention to the lighting effects(play elder scrolls #3 then #4 and you'll see why lighting is irrelevant). BTW: is it vapor or ice?
awsome
i think its cool like the armor and the style good job
Fatchaos responds:
Cheers, appreciated.
drawing lightling
when drawing lightning, observe electric arcs on Google, THEN draw it
and who would look the other direction when casting such a powerful, waterver, the point is, that, you really have to do a little reaserch
Fatchaos responds:
I have to agree, I was just being lazy |D
Thanks for the advice, though, I'll be sure to reference on REAL deal next time >:3
Impressive...
Looks like some sort of Sacred Guardian, paladin style combat mage...
I like it :D :P
Especially how you managed to make him look "good", as opposed to most characters with spikey bladed armor and huge horns being obviously evil..
Maybe it's the brightness of the whole image, but he seems really serene somehow, even though he has a ginormous lightning shield and heavy combat armor xD As i said, impressive. I also like the whole "old and wise" look, though i'm not sure if you did that on purpose. I think it's the eyes and the hair..
One thing though, the "lightning" does look more like some kind of magical spectral energy than real lightning, but it's cool nonetheless. Oh, and i can't help wondering if he'd look cooler with a paladin-style helmet, and perhaps some armored gloves for his wing-claws?
Looking forward to more dragony goodness from you,
keep it up!
By the way, this is an excellent counterpart to the character in "That heat within...", is that what you were shooting for? If you remember the review I left there, this is what i was hoping you'd do. Thanks :P
Fatchaos responds:
A Dragon Disciple, to be truthful.
Yes, I didn't choose wild, "neon" colors of pure white to show in his armor, so I used the design itself to show more, hm, "kindness" about him.
Being half-dragon that he is, he looks older than he is. He's actually quite young.
Yes... I had to do a little... compromise with the lightning, I merely explain it that he compresses the lightning to take a shape instead of it sparkling wildly around him, creating unwanted chaos.
Originally, he was supposed to have a full-head helmet, but it's a very tricky thing to fit to a head like that, so I went with a more original design (note the 3 spikes on his head are part of the armor). I've always thought about armoring the wings, but it's hard to find a logical, conventional solution to that, especially when you think about the fact that the wings are supposed to be very light at all times to support flying.
I'll try!
Well, funny is, it isn't really a "counterpart", though I specifically was aiming for "alikeness" in the two pictures. These two actually form a rather unusual pair.
Again, thanks for the thoughtful comment!
