Description
Full view recommended. ...please?
I used Daz's Millenium Dragon 2 with Swidhelm's excellent dynamic wings!!!!! They make me want to do dragon pictures with what would have been a badly winged dragon otherwise!!
The clouds were a combination of 4 or 5 different cloud stock (from stock sites - not dA stock) put together. I added the rendered dragons on top and added a motion blur on the wings in Photoshop. (The original Poser motion blur kept refusing to render the blur at a high enough resolution for some reason so I rendered a static instead).
Software - Poser & Photoshop
Thanks for looking.
And thanks to the lovely ~GothicVampireFreak for coming up with an appropriate title!!

It is after all the best type of fighting - followed closely by ninja fighting I suppose.

Not bad at all! I love the motion blur on the wings!

I'm gad you like it - the motion was a key element I was trying to get when I first thought of the image.

It definitely adds a realistic effect to the piece. Almost like a lenticular image

Wow! I like the way the blurring gives them so much motion!

Thanks - it was a key element I wanted in this image from the start!
I originally used Poser's motion blur on the wings on earlier renders (as I already had to create an animation in order to simulate the dynamic wings) but I was unable to render a large version for some reason so I just used Photoshop's radial blur in the end as it looked the same as Poser's motion blur in my test renders.
