FOR GLORY, FOR HONOR, FOR VALHALLA 2019 | My entry for Aurorae

OH MY GOD. I can't believe I managed to finish this. ;;
This was the most complex project I've ever done so far. And pretty much the only thing I did during the last two months, I even took a week off from work to get it done.
Summed up I spent over 130 hours on this. :/D But I'm really happy how it turned out.
The story is a peek into the future and shows how Rían's first official dragonfight might be, after he finished Vanaheim Academy.
The Motion book consists of a total of 191 assets and 51 sounds.
21x horse fullbody, 13x partial body, 31x rider and 17x dragon depicted.
And here are some extra design details:
Also a HUGE THANK YOU to my dear dat-inu for all the emotional support and for putting up with my constant whining. |D
You helped me so much to get this done! ;u;

Music used is from:
Dragon Age Inquisition
Two Steps from Hell
The Lord of the Rings

Auf PC oder Laptop reicht es, wenn man aufs Cover klickt, damit das Motion Book startet, bei Handy oder iPad braucht man glaub ich die Madefire App dafür. : )

I'm still at a loss for words and I don't know how to start to describe how epic this is QQ
You have such a great way of storytelling! Every time there was a flashback I found myself super invested in their journey and with every flashback my love for those two grew bigger. And I kept wanting to see more of their past and how they overcame the obstacles in their way. But I also wanted to go back to the dragon fight to see how well their training paid off ;; So it was the perfect mixture of past and present. I really loved it and once again it felt more like a movie 
Btw I'm super in love with the way you draw Aurorae. It has such a pretty glow and the horse design is just perfect!
Really great work, Opium

That battle gave me shivers! Seriously it is so atmospheric and so intense!!
Especially with all those movements, the dexterity of both horse and rider, how they deal with the pressure and of course, the scaly opponent.
Also that is one pretty Aurorae. Hoooly moly O.O

even though i've seen it in all kinds of different stages and wips, the outcome still amazed me to no end ;u; it's breathtaking.
the music is SO WELL chosen, the scenes and frames are spot on, and it's flodding over with motion, power and action.
it's so fun to watch rian's expressions closely in every single image, because there's so much emotion going on in his face <3 his pretty pretty darling face. it's one thing to see images of a character or see them react in rps, but seeing them in a motionbook is like a MOVIE like COMING ALIVE.
i am overwhelmed <3 GO RIAN GO.

I'm at awe, absolutely utterly speechless. The heart you put into this, the story you're telling and how, it's absolutely amazing.
And all those little interludes, the glimpses into his past and those expressions, priceless.
I'm blown off my feet!
