Description
The lineart was done by and can be found here: [link]Now that I think looks good. I'm starting to get faster at this.
The picture is subject to change, but I doubt I'll change it.
A different camouflage! Yeah, I dunno if I mentioned this, but Agera isn't naturally a camouflaged dragon, she just has a full body tattoo. And it's photovoltaic! Which means she can change her color at will.
The smoky creatures around her are what I envisioned spirits to be like. Don't touch them! That's the toughest thing, cause they're wicked fast. Looks like Death thinks it's Agera's time, but I don't think she's ready to go yet.
How the heck do you fight the spirits of Death?
Full sized image has some awesome details.

Impressive! I like the shifting tatto concept, although I must admit, it seems like it would be quite painfull to get a full body version.
To answer your question reffering to how to fight Death's spirits, simple: Just find someone who can pull rank on him, and ask really, reeeaaaaaallllllllyyyyyyy nicely.

She looks ready for a fight, but how does one beat death and his minions :Suspense:
Also, it's cool that you made it so she can change color, she looks more Black Ops than Marine now
Awesome artwork!

I actually used the navy's sea camo, since theirs is really cool.

Oh, yeah. Thought that pattern looked familiar, I see corpsmen wearing them sometimes. My mistake
Great artwork, keep up the good work

That is simply awesome IR. I definitely envy you guys being able to make art digitaly, maybe it's about time I actually learned to use my copy of GIMP. XD

it's super easy! Most of the controls are similar to photoshop, but they're named differently.

My suggestion is just experiment with the different tools, try them all out. At some point it'll all start coming together.

Looks freaking awsome! And I was wondering how does she change her diplay of rank on her shoulder?
PS I like Deaths hat.

she doesn't, it's just thats the way the lineart was drawn. Less detail in that than the original. It was just meant as a quick sketch to begin with anyways.
I always imagined death to be somewhat close to that appearance.

You and Tsitra need to collaborate your story better. I ask him, he says ask you, you say you dont know and partially blame him for it being a "quick sketch". Its all falling apart. And what about poor Agera, fighting off death and then not even getting a promotion?!?! Not to mention all the other things she will have to go through due to being one of your characters. You sir not coming up with a insane backstory for a character of you own is compleat madness. Cant be slipping up like that, its bad for your rep. Before you know it they run you out and are exiled from the world and forced to live in a cave in New Mexico. Trust me its no fun. at all. I been here for 24 years and still cant leave.

A. The "quick sketch" is because this was literally done as a quick sketch in one of Tsitra's livestreams. I didn't expect the art to be flawless, because it was a quick sketch, and it's a complicated character, because of the many many wings, he missed a couple, and the gunnery sargeant emblem and UESC logo on the shoulder are low detail compared to the original. I'm not saying the lineart was bad, in fact, it was fantastic, it was easy to color, and easy to tell what was what on the character.
B. Speaking of story, I never said I was done with Agera. This isn't backstory, this is foreshadowing. I've already come up with backstory. If you don't know what I mean, then let me ask you this: How many books are in my fanfiction?
C. I don't really care where I live. Just set me up with air-con, a high speed internet link, and a powerful laptop/desktop, and I'm good.
D. I saw your post on tsitra's page. Rank is increased on dragons by gentle removal of the thread from the patch in the skin, and re-sewing it back on. It's a lot less painful than it sounds, more like getting a tattoo.

A. I agree it is fantastic line art as well as the work you have done yourself.
B. I can't wait to see how she is incorporated into the story and hear her back story. And a heck of a lot with about 57 in store. (seriously though I can't wait so hurry!)
C. That and a refrigerator full of food.
D. That still sounds painful. And that was the answer I was looking for.
(But I managed to get a rise out of you yet.)
In all seriousness you guys made a fantastic picture and character and I was just picking at you. Not like I have any room to talk trash.
