Description
Warning; spoiler alert below for Wings of Fire Legends: Darkstalker, and of a short passage depicting death."Now," Darkstalker leaned towards Arctic, his claws gouging into the wood of the stage. "Take your talons, rip open your stomach, and show us all what you're really like inside. Pour out your life on this stage."
It took a long time, and it was messy, and at the end of it, when Arctic was definitely dead, Darkstalker did not feel nearly as happy as he'd expected.
---------
I wanted to draw this scene the way that it was shown to us in the book; very little focus on Arctic's demise, but rather on the effect it had on the characters. This was really the turning point in the story; where things became so bad that there was no going back.
(Left to right; Clearsight, Whiteout, and Darkstalker.)

Thank you! Whiteout is probably one of my favourite characters now.

The detail on this is incredible!
Any tips on how you get it to look so realistic/semi-realistic?

Thank you. As for realism, I recommend thinner lines and including most of the scales on the dragons, at least the ones that make recognizable patterns. (Though the farther away something is, the less details there should be.)

This is absolutely stunning!! I love the shading you did here! The lighting is great, and the whole feel of this piece is incredible too! The eyes are amazing, and I love their expressions!

Ah, thank you so much! The expressions and the eyes are always so fun to do.

I used this for the background and some of the shading.

your welcome and thank you can you tell me what can I change about my style or art that needs improving?

Unfortunately I'm not qualified to tell you that. You're style is pretty unique, and the dragons you draw have a sort of elegance to them that's characteristic to the way you draw them. It's very pleasing to the eye; keep it up and I'm sure that you'll not regret it!
