Got to the point that I was ready to put colours in. What do you all think of the blue flame sword? :smiley:

Blue sword looks good. Green would stand out well against the warms reds as well.
It seems like the fire should really be coming from his palm, not the mouth with that pose...

looking good! Making me wanna root for team fire. I believe moirae has a good point about the fire coming from the palm instead of the mouth, mostly because of how the palm is facing and the dynamic of the pose. Emitting fire is probably no easy task, and probably requires a lot of force to produce, and the pose you have hear seems to indicate more force coming from the palm than the mouth. Whenever I imagine dragons breathing fire, I imagine them having to lean into the action with almost their entire body, much like how you would have to use force handle something like a fire extinguisher, otherwise the can would fly backwards with a lot of force without a firm hold. (I hope that comparison wasn't too confusing >_<)

I also want to suggest maybe having the soldiers in the foreground cowering in fear and hiding behind their shields from the massive blast of fire to make it seem even more terrifying and dangerous. This would make your dragon even more powerful to behold!

Keep up the great work!

@moirae Thanks you. Yeah the flame thing.... gotta try to change it up a bit to see whats best.

@obsidanite Thank you. Yeah gotta try to mix that up to see what looks best. Regarding the soldiers you are absolutely correct. I'm working on it.

looks really good! I love the blue sword and light that it casts on the dragons face. It makes him stand out a little more.
Regarding moirae's comment, I have to admit that I am not quiet fond of the red green combination since it always reminds me of a christmas tree … but that might only be me … anyways, keep up the great work!

Alright! got the do some more work and finetuning. Still got alot of things to do :smile:

Loove the blue and orange complimentary here. Nice balance of values too. The figures at the front are a little stiff though, especially the two guys on the right. I know running is a hard thing to paint/draw lmao

That is a really cool design! I love Anthropomorphized dragons! The fire coming from the hand is a good change. Can't wait to see this finished!

Your metal texture is phenomenal.
