Hey ! I think I have never posted on your threat before, but I was watching it regularly. And damn I love your idea, and the last steps are really great ! (Also don't forget to reincorporate the fire emblem)
I love how your piece is going

Hey! That is a lovely illustration and a great story! Cant wait to see that finished :smiley:
I guess the stones on the right in the foreground are supposed to be an impact? I cant tell why - maybe its the flow of the dust, or I just dont understand it - but for me it looks a bit like the stones are swirled upwards.

hey @hendrix.simon, thanks for your comment. yeah, you understand it right - the stones, smoke and dust in the right corner are swirled upwards - it's just for composition purpose:)

Really loving her pose actually, full of emotion and expression and you'e handled the foreshortening and proportions well, good job

a small update:
cant decide - dragon with or without armor?

Very nice new touches !
To be honest that is hard to choose...like them both, but maybe the first is better ?

hey @mr_dessin thanks for reply. i feel like the first one is better as well. i do like how dragon and human begin to relate to each other with addition of armor, but without armor dragon seems to be more natural

Also I kinda feel you loose point of interest with helmet armor.
But maybe that's just me.

And agreed with your great point of view !

nice work, I prefer the one without the helmet. I love how his sail is only on the head, makes it look like a mohawk :smile: looking great

I don't think your dragon need a helmet, the design is already very efficient without it. I would probably be a bit too much. But in the other it's really cool to have a part of the drake who remind the girl outfit. It really help to understand the relation between these two, but then it's a different story

I agree with oceane, having a helmet is a little distracting and acts as a barrier between us and the emotion of the dragon. I'd say best without it

upd. changed a bunch of stuff
