Description
A sequel image to: newlegend1.deviantart.com/art/…
To the south of the dragon realms, there is a vast desert that spans hundreds, if not thousands of miles. Towering above the dunes are the derelict remains of iron and metal giants. These dead beasts were once the warships of two competing races of men and lizards. They both fought viamently for the favor of the species of dragons who called the dragon realms their home. These massive warships once soared high above the world, and even far beyond to the stars. These two species fought a never ending battle, and now their derelict ghosts lay spread across the massive desert.
These two competing species, competing ideologies and empires fought hard, to the death. Now, they share the same grave.

Drew another thingy, this time featuring heavily a new inking style that most of you have probably noticed I've been implamenting into my more recent drawings. (some of which I haven't uploaded lol) This piccy is going into the history of the conflict between the human republic and the lakador conclave (still deciding the name) that predates the events of The Legend of Damian, and sets the stage for its setting. These two fought a long and terrible war with each other, and the war came to this world of dragons. The war boiled down to the right to access this world and its magic. The dragons watched closely, seeing who would be the stronger ally to enter a treaty with. In the image, the foreground represents a human frigate smashed into the sands of the desert with its bow on the right, its center hull to the left. In the background a lakador cuirser sits smashed deep into the sands and rock, its bow no longer visable and its stern having been ripped off, landing somewhere miles away. Now, only its inner compartments and internal engine components visable to the sky. Down, near the center are a wandering band of scavengers, visiting these metal giants.
I had a lot of fun with this inking style and I've been looking into it more and more as I study different art styles I could use. I wanted to really take my line art drawings a step above and beyond. The question was, how could I make them far more pleasing to not only look at, but for it to be easier to discern details in the drawings. I think this is a good step.
