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.

Zombies? They are slow, stupid and falling apart. They can't even use doors, let alone firearms.
And how are they going to bite through scales anyway?

Aha, not really anymore. The new modern zombies is actually pretty fast and many, especially the recently turned, are really fast and sometimes still intelligent enough to use door and weapons.

Well, that is where making super soldiers comes into play. You never did play the Resident Evil games. They had some pretty scary zombie monsters that can even give a dragon a run for its money .

Pft, how are they going to control those zombies anyway. They want to eat the brains of their superiours.

lol, in Resident Evil they figured out a way to program the zombie super soldiers to go after specific targets. Plus you keep them restrained until it is time for the hunt and make sure to install a fail safe device that eliminates it if it turns on humans.

HOLY SHAFT!

There's T-55 and T-72 on the ground, but the Longbow Apache? o_O I am pretty sure this such of army is really need that kind of help.

Anyway, nice try, but I love this dragon of drawing better.

They are backed by the Americans so they have some serious firepower.

You mean from the other drawing that this one? Well, here: [link]

I am actually looking for iconic dragon design along with human Navy, like aircraft carrier or some kind of new ships. It's pretty rare to see them relate together since that's pretty rare to see why. But, if you also like my idea, maybe we can discuss more.

A Navy fanatic eh? Hmm, an aircraft carrier that carries dragons instead of planes?

Dystatic-Studio In reply to Netarliargus [2011-09-15 19:46:35 +0000 UTC]

Maybe both, or maybe they're making troubles, like these: [link] and [link]

Actually it's more like different aircraft carrier represent one dragon. Let me say, HMS Queen Elizabeth with a Welsh dragon, or Varyag CV (Chinese's first AC) with a Yinglong (winged Chinese dragon), something like that...

Oh, you mean dragons attacking a fleet? Or two fleets fighting eachother with dragons at their side?

Dystatic-Studio In reply to Netarliargus [2011-09-15 21:37:03 +0000 UTC]

Well, not too extreme. I want to see if I can use some iconic dragon to live with a human fleet. However there's different countries of fleets so I need to pick few of them to draw a dragon along with them, nothing bloody. I decide to use an aircraft carrier to represent different country of fleet, as well as their own local dragon species.

Say, what do you think their own dragons that boarding to their ACs and salute with naval soldiers?

Hmh, have you read the Temeraire books by any chance? It describes what you have in mind...sorta. In the 19th century.

Dystatic-Studio In reply to Netarliargus [2011-09-16 03:22:30 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I did, just a hundred of pages from HMD. I love the alternative history story, just as I am using such of genre for my school project.

Maybe I am thinking the modern version of Temeraire story, but I am not sure really. I am just seeking out the different nations of what their own dragon images are, and to put that onto their own navy. For example, the newest British D45 destroyer just in service recently, names HMS Dragon.

Dystatic-Studio In reply to Netarliargus [2011-09-18 09:19:59 +0000 UTC]

Yes. You finally get my point.

Wondering what dragons they have and try to let them board on the deck of the carrier, that's what I am think as a concept.

They're gonna need the help of their heavier weaponry. Like the Apache gunship.
