How can you not, they're always on fire. At parties, they are the fire starters. And when they love, they love with a fire within.

If I run out of fireballs, I have a crossbow. If I run out of magic, I have bolts of another kind...

Well said. He also has a big knife and a few alchemical helps too.

I love how you've even put the tiny sparks coming from the fireball. Another epic piece of art!

I'm never satisfied with the way I do fire but sparks - thats something always present in fire that gives it a bit of extra action.

Wow! This is impressive. You did a fantastic job showing the spell in process both hands showing the fire of the spell. I also like how positioned his bandoliers holdings his knives for easy access.

My knife position depends greatly on how the character fights. Some would rather have the knife at the back, some in the boots, some on the leg or forearm. I thought for a wizard, a frontal position is the best choice as he might use it not only as a weapon, but as a tool also, to gather reagents for his spells.

In the descriptions the client mentioned at the moment of casting the spells, the characters taunts his enemies and swears at them. So yeah, you could say he's feisty.

Just something I threw on about.

He is so HOT! Yep, fire mages 
And you've used the textures perfectly - I wouldn't recognize it's not a photo

Thank you Evi. No, the liquid is not acid, just stale water. I know nowadays people push for extreme designs in clothing but I chose to keep close to things people could really wear. At least it might help with cos play costumes if thats the case.

Oh, that would be awesome to wear such a costume

I think he is also very angry because he has to walk through all that dirty probably smelly sewer water..

Plus they got blood and ashes on his favorite robe.

I guess that would make any self respecting wizard go into a frenzy.

Or, with less flame and more cutting edge, considering the environment, into a blood bath.

Wow, that's awesome!
I feel like most action scenes are overly cluttered and jumbled. Granted, sometimes that's the effect you want.
I like how this has such a simple composition, but still gets all the details right.

Well, it supposed to have burning bodies around him initially but the client's budget was a bit too small for that so we went with the focus just on the main character and I made all I could to imply enough for the people to make up the rest with their imagination.

Three sources of light bouncing around on different surfaces. It was challenging but fun at the same time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I can imagine! I'm not good with light and shadow but have been foolish enough to try to figure out multiple light sources a couple of times...it's not easy! lol!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually establishing the light sources was pretty easy, bouncing them around on different mediums and texture was actually the hard part.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol ok well you got me there, it's more the effects of the lighting that is the more difficult thing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You have to keep trying 'tho, it becomes fun after a while.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I need to learn and keep practicing

i hope those boots are waterproof...or slimeproof or whatever..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wll, I made his boots out of nicely tanned leather, well greased with goose fat and with an added water proof magic enchantment.

Out of curiosity, what spell is he using, Meteorites or Fireball?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its Fireball. I would have represented Meteorites like some kind of inter dimensional vortex from which smaller but more fire balls would have crashed from above.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see, awesome. Though I didn't mean that one, I thought about eh... Well, I don't know if you've played Baldur's Gate II, but there is a spell that creates small meteors that the spellcaster can hurl forward and it looks kind of like that; they appear on the caster's hand and he just throws them.
As for the interdimensional vortex, that'd actually look pretty neat.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I played Baldur's Gate but it was very long time ago and I don't remember all the spells.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Yeah, I feel like using anything with the word "meteor" in a small enclosed space would be a... bad idea.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not that "fireball" is less catastrophic. I remember when I used to play d&d and these things had radius and splash zones and misfire chance.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I see. I'm playing it for the first time now, I thought it was overhyped and whatnot but it truly deserves the praise it gets, it's an excellent game.
And indeed, just the way it should be; massive and apocalyptic.
