Description
Commission I did for a friend.These are some characters from a story of his,
Matt is the archer, he's a werewolf who can't transform into his beastly form, and is classified as a "Mutt",
he's shunned by his own kind and eventually meets the black dragon known as Kal, Kal is titled "Kal the Destroyer", all black dragon's get the title "destroyer" since birth, as they have the unlucky probability of transforming into world destroyers.
On one lucky or unlucky day (which ever way you see it), Matt while delivering some packages, finds amongst the items a gauntlet, without thinking, Matt put's the gauntlet on his arm, rather than carry it, and later he finds out that he can't remove it, the strange gauntlet of unknown origin bonded with him, and when he's in danger, it can create magical constructs of light which are specific to the wielders own strengths and skill, the unlucky side of the story is because Matt is a "Mutt", or simply put, a Werewolf with no abilities, he's pretty much a normal human, only slightly stronger, his first thought when faced with danger was "man I wish I had some kind of ranged weapon", thus it created a bow, and that's now his preferred construct.
The duo find themselves fighting side by side, they stand their ground,
holding the darkness at bay.

This looks really fantastic! I love how you've used opposites in this, and the range of effects are truly superb! The glowing on the bow and fire are superb, and I adore the look of that dragon as well~ The atmosphere you've created here is wonderful as well! Great work~

How did you make the bow so glowey? could you teach me how to do that? Is it an effect? Did you paint it? Is the fire a texture?

The glow is a transparent layer (light blue paint brush) set on Hard light setting.
The flames are drawn by hand.
