Description ~~~

Full-background, gradient-shaded comish for Tanith of FA of his dragon Tanith, (the armoured guy,) and Seth the naga, (the Aztec-armoured guy.)

I'm really happy with this! ^^ I haven't done a scene with dynamic lightning sunset-wise for a while, (and some of you know how much I /love/ sunsets/rises,) and it was good practice for gradient shading...and also complex gradient shading. I managed to get /every/ piece of Tanith's armour shaded and/or highlighted, phew. And I'm also really, really, really happy with how Seth turned out.

I also had a revelation while doing this piece. I realized that I really love nagas. I mean /really/ love them. And I just realized this, like, right before doing this piece, and then I'm like 'Omg, I wish someone would comish me for a naga! ...Wait, OMG! Excited!!!' There's something so fancy *cough*sexy*cough* about them, and I'm super pleased with how Seth's, (I apologize in advance, I can't think of another phrase to describe his lower body in any other way,) snake parts are shaded, like the folds/muscles in the skin and how you can /see/ the weight of the muscles in there. And then Tanith is just leaping out of nowhere, belching his pyroclastic flow yelling 'You shall not PASS!' or something like that.

Tanith is also a really sweet character too. I was reading his backstory on a couple of his refs that were sent to me and I'm like, 'Oooh, fancy.' He's a fire-earth warrior dragon and is all up in his military stuff, like me, heh. So if you like fire, earth, and military stuff, you should hang out. Heh.

And I'm going to stop now before I keep going on. This is a great piece, and it feels good to keep cranking out awesome pieces! Just finished an eleven-page paper in one day and I am amped! *fist-pump*

Thanks Tanith! Hope you like!

Enjoy!

what sort of breath is that?

TwilightSaint In reply to kaburninator [2013-01-21 19:10:07 +0000 UTC]

Ash/pyroclastic breath - the dragon has fire/earth elemental powers.

pyroclastic, nice word! i gotta remember that. so i understand the fire effects but what about the earth effect?

TwilightSaint In reply to kaburninator [2013-01-21 21:19:08 +0000 UTC]

^^ Instead of just fire, his powers are mixed with earth, so hence the rocks and magma in his pyroclastic breath as opposed to solid flames.
