Description
A request from He wanted an image where his Black Dragon, Sonixryl, fights against the soldiers of the Draconic Investigation Committee. To those overzealous guys, obliterating an entire city to get one dragon is an acceptable loss.Done in CS3, I'd say this is one of my most complex pieces so far. There's just a lot of elements in there, the soldiers, the billboards. Took me about three days to finish but I like how it turned out.

If we got bullets that can pierce 5 feet worth of solid concrete, not to mention 30mm depleted uranium rounds then that dragon won't last long. Nice picture though haha

Thanks, I could insert some pseudo-science technobabble here to explain that but I am just going to keep it with "magic" as my explanation.

Indeed, their attempt to slay the dragon is laughable.

were going to need to call them strike force in [link] or just the juggernaut tank [link] now that's overkill

Futuristic weaponry is not available in...erm..the present I guess. It's going to be the old fashioned way.

I get the impression that when the dragon strikes back, it won't exctly tickle to them.

Dragons are just misunderstood, all she wanted was a hug.

If she wants a hug, she shouldn't go big size . That tends to scare people into doing dumb stuff

They'll soon run away when they realize those bullets are only giving the dragon a slight tickle.

I think this is spectacular! The objects you included really adds to the depth of the scene.
Let me leave you a comment Neta-style If there must be something I must nitpick on, it would be that the atmosphere and lighting is a bit off. I think it would be better if you had a better defined light-source, and shade and shadow accordingly
. Here's a nice tutorial to boot [link]
Just throw in a couple more explosions then and this would be perfect!

Great composition, and viewpoint. You did an amazing job in the background, not one piece of detail is amiss. Another great drawing.

Thanks, thought I could make it more intersting by tilting the horizon a bit.

Hmh, the Black Dragon isn't really evil, but the Committee sees all dragons as evil.

Wow, I am nearly speechless sir. Thank you so much for this !
It does look like those bullets aren't having much of an effect on her .

Great, does that mean you'll start writing again?
Nope, they may as well be throwing pebbles at her. Watch out for the rockets on the Apache though.

I noticed that ads in the background behind Sonixryl. No Battlefield 3 or Xbox stuff ?

lol, yeah...probably .
Pebbles? What's wrong with going retro and throwing sharpened sticks at her caveman style ?
No, what we need to do is create zombie super soldiers. I got this idea last night as Deadliest Warrior did a show where Vampires took on Zombies . Zombies are incapable of fear right? So, they'd make the perfect soldiers
. Just got to get them hungry for dragon flesh I guess...
