Description A lot darker mood and added rain to try and give it a more dismal feel. May want to add more trees around Neros to give more of an impression that he's under the cover of nightfall....

Wow. I love your age of heroes stories. This is awsome, but I think that Nero's wings look too small to carry him properly, but then again, he can control the air, so he probable doesn't even need wings to fly ( maybe use some wind to keep himself aloft?)

if you also think about it, none of the spyro dragons wings were "technically" able to do so either. but i like to separate my style from them.

oh man no offense to a maya user like you but that would be good news for me if blender is getting more and more used, i dont think im going to learn to use maya, but i dont want to learn how to use 3d max studio neither
with blender i started to learn about the particle system, i started doing some fire and stuff

yup. thanks to you I was able to make up the city. still love your backgrounds. in this scene, Neros's tail is swinging like a cat ready to pounce on its prey but the animation is a little.... stiff shall we say.

I looked at the coloured version and the sketch prior to this, and yeah, the mood is definitely darker here. But now it feels more as if he's in the storm, rather than the storm being approaching. Where you going for that?
The mood is definitely spot on!

I am a bit indecisive aren't I. I added the rain to see if it would help because at night it just felt like he was waiting for the dawn to come before striking... but I think this may add to it if I can learn how to do lighting as well...

Don't get me wrong here, I actually think the rain is a really nice touch, but from what you wrote in the commentaries, it didn't sound like it was what you were going for dear xD;;

Whoa..just whoa..
You've come a long way buddy
I really like how you've done ths shadow on Neros' Hind legs
If the movie turns out like this then its getting Max's seal of approvel.
If I had to give some constructive critasim it would be that the reain looks like its just one layer immediatly infrom of us.
Maybe you could do smaller drops aswell to give the feel that they strech off into the distance
