Description This is Caerill, the Air Colossus I invented for the RIFT contest. He is actually incredibly smart, even though he doesn't posses a brain. In stead, He is a powerful spirit that can control the air, and doing so takes the for of a wyrm, except that he is made of a vortex of lighting of a tornado. The only organic matters on him are his wings, their membranes, and his bones (also from a dragon). The difficult thing about fighting him is that he cannot be killed by any conventional way, since he technically has no body. To destroy him, you either need powerful magic, or to somehow drown him. Even if he is lured to a lake, he is more likely to become half water than to drown. It is especially difficult to defend yourself, since he can flip you up into the air then strike you with lightning (his tornado body creates massive amounts of friction, which creates lighting).

Oh and it has more detail than may be expected... eh, DA compression feel free to download it to get a better look.

This is very well done.

I will start with my impression of the creature. The tornado-like body as well as the lightning effect are very beautifull. The part that really attracts me are the membrane wings. The wings feature very nice coloring and the way that they were made really offers a pretty visual result. The skeletal parts of the body add a darker and more macabre tone to the creature.

The details of the background and the techniques for defeating the creature, that are mentioned at the description, made me understand that the artist put effort to this piece and the final result is more than enough to prove that I'm right.

I love how ethereal and almost surreal the creature looks -- a very cool design. Also -- I love the little dude almost getting lightning-struck and clutching his head.

This is amazing, I love air rifts and it would be awesome to see this enter Telara through 1. best of luck with the competition, such beautiful detail and your passion is clearly shown in the piece.

thanks. but, i am a bit worried... there are so many other professional artists turning out masterpieces, far better in skill and realism than mine. The rules for judging said that part of the voting would go to skill, where i am just under the pros, not quite with them. it is especially hard with air, since that is hard to detail. i do have originality over them, though... but still, i'm pretty sure i won't win. i mean, a 15 year old against some like 20-50 year olds... not very good.

Wow, I would hate to have this coming after me!! I love the style you have, and the blue really adds a nice element of contrast and visual interest. Caerill really has a unique design too! It's cool to see that he kind of has a body, but is more made of air, and I love the skull/helmet/mask on his head!!

And the little man just looks so scared!

Good luck!!!

thanks i am submitting perhaps two more. one is fire, and i have a nasty surprise in his design ya, i look at the other colossuses, and try to do something completely different, something more dangeerous and wicked and cool. most of the colosses have something in common (cough-cough, earth colossus).

Oh, no problem! I think this is a great design, as I said. I'd love to see more because I bet they will be too.

thanks but there are many more professionals entering now, and being 15, it won't be any easy task going above their skill level.

i tried, but it got too big. i mean, i could try extending the picture, but that takes a long time, and i would have to all the shading and 'complain complain' yeah... perhaps i will make it full, but i don't know if it is worth it. i mean, you can see what they would look like

Ah! this is pretty sweet! I can surely see this inside of Rift as a boss. Sounds like a bitch to fight though. Very Op if you know what i mean. (Its a good thing) kudos to you buddy!

MirandaPavelle In reply to Enigmaheart [2011-05-20 17:18:29 +0000 UTC]

'Op'? Well yeah, ty anyhow i was trying to invent something that wasn't like the other submissions (huge bumbling man-like monsters or contorted skeletons) and I was thinking that instead of size, why not difficulty? I play Wizard101, and some of the bosses there aren't too big or have too much life, but they are hard to get at due to their element, so I took that philosophy to make a more elemental creature.

And yeah, it would be a bitch to beat I don;t know the game Rift too well, but I saw about how it works. Is there some sort of magic? I mean, shooting arrows and slashing swords at this thing wouldn't do much but make it zap you with lightning...

Enigmaheart In reply to MirandaPavelle [2011-05-20 20:22:36 +0000 UTC]

ah. I've seen friends play. it is indeed much magic and even some sort of special attacks involved in it. Flashy. Very flashy. so i think the idea fits very well indeed. and I know what you mean, huge, slow and idiotic. its nice to see a little something different on the take of colossus here and there. Especially in the barrage of common takes on things.
