Description
....You want us to stoop to their level Kisethizar, this is unacceptable.......Are you challenging me Naelere? It is the only way....
....The humans, they will ruin everything in our absence....
....You allow none of them to be greater then the worst Valaraxx?...
....Let it be so then, the resolution is sealed...
Draconic politics, the only kind of politics that isn't boring. The Brass, Silver and Red Dragon Kings are discussing the fate of their race a scene that takes place in a story I'm writing. [link]
Combined a lot of techniques I previously picked up in this one. I dwelt rather long on whether I should keep the shadowy silhouettes of the other dragons in the background. Decided to go with them in the end, make it feel more of a "council". with them leaning in. I used the Brass, Silver and Red Dragon from D&D as a reference.

Just image search Google for "Magic Circle" and take your pick.
I picked the symbols because they looked pretty, I have no idea what they mean, if they mean anything at all.

I just remember something this a round table right?
So where's Galm One "Cipher The Demon Lord of the Round Table" Hmm?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dragons have no need for tables or any other furniture for that matter...only a bed made of a pile of gold coins.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No not "Tables" I'm talking about the "Knights of the Round Table" that Round Table. Like a circle of important people in this case dragons can also be a round table meeting. Plus Xremisis/Nikolai does not need gold coins for a bed although they would like platinum coins
And the Demon lord of that round table of yours is. . . Cipher.

I'm more thinking of something like the "Game of Thrones"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But round table are epic
I and three other dragons *Hint hint Cough the picture cough cough*.
"How many you got dragons"
"I got a 2"
"I got a 3"
"I got a 6"
"Well, I got 7. I take all of the gold"
"Places yer bets!"
I put in 600 gold pieces again winning 2000 more gold pieces.
"Ah, Dragons you should never play me against the round table."
That is the reason The Round Table are better you can play poker.

Very cool! I like the colors, the lighting and the look of the dragons!

Interesting, I have a feeling that this image represents the moment when the leaders of the dragons decided to go into hibernation in the face of rising human aggression against all dragonkind.
A Brass, a Silver, and a Red represent all of dragonkind eh?
Hm,
A Brass, a Silver, and a Red dragon all walk into a human bar...mayhem ensues...

Not really, there's supposed to be five of them....and where did you come from all of the sudden?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There's supposed to be five of them? I wonder what species the other two kings are? Funny that like humans dragons let males lead them.
I came from Sera where humanity was finally able to defeat the Locust and Lambent. Gears humans can give even dragons a run for their money.

Heh, you can't make out their gender. The Brass one is supposed to be female.
And the other ones are Gold and Blue.
And all it took was a couple of sequels.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course I can't make out the gender! Why do you think most humans get eaten by dragons? Probably because we mistake the dragon's gender. I hear the females take it real personal.
Hmm, only five out of the ten species is represented...
It is called a trilogy. This was one of the saddest and most emotional game I've played through in a while.
I have a feeling a gear soldier can beat a dragon. They do kill Locust creatures that are kind of similar...

Well, they're not really leaders, they're more like a "club of old and wise guys who tend to know best."
At least they managed to give him some emotions without turning him chessy. Especially when you compare it with the first game.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Old wise guys? That usually implies that they are all males though.
Well, here's the part that almost made me cry [link] Rarely do you feel bad when a character in a fictional universe dies.
So, I've been out of the loop for about a month now. What has been going on?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Erm, I am wondering. Why didn't he simply left the truck on and jumped out when it was heading the right way...
Going on? Not much I guess, besides me finishing a new chapter.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I guess they decided to kill Dom cause at this point in the franchise he was pretty much done. He lost his brother, his parents, his wife, and his kids. The only thing keeping him going was to make sure his brother-in-arms Marcus would remain alive to save the world.
You finished a new chapter? Cool, I could use a good dragon read aside from Ghost's stuff.
So, Gears pretty much illustrates how humans deal with other beings that encounter them, i.e. kill them all apparently. Guess that would happen if dragons showed up too...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So, my story is told, time to go out with a big explosion eh?
Erm, not too familiar with Gears, didn't the aliens or whatever start shooting first? Games that portrait the human race as bad don't tend to be popular. Who'd want to feel like a jerk anyway.
Dragons eh? That'd probably mean more quicktime events as you fight them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, he did get to go out with a bang and save everyone there.
Yeah, the Locust started the war shortly after the humans end what is known as the Pendulum Wars that was fought amongst humans. However, the Locust just wanted to kill all the humans to take the planet for themselves, dropping the humans from billions to maybe a million give or take. There is a rumor going around that the queen of the Locust may be Marcus' mother cause she's the only human looking one. I have a feeling it is true based on what I've read so far of one of the Gears books.
Not really much quicktime events in this one actually. More straight up blood and guts and shooting.
I just have this feeling that humans and dragons would not get along and lead to a war like in Gears.

Awesome! You caught their looks spot on, I recognized them from D&D as soon as I saw the silver's head.
