Description
WARNING!!! THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE STORY OF NOX AND SOL!!!!!!This is my contest entry for thedragonartists.deviantart.co…
If you read my summary for my comic, you know that eventually Nox has a big battle with Sol. This is it. A battle between light and dark, with a twist. The dark dragon is the hero, and the light dragon is the villain.
I am super proud of this. The fire is debatable, but the lightning looks awesome. I usually draw out the scene in my sketchbook, then scan it into gimp and do the lineart, coloring, shading, and everything else using it. But this time I drew gestures into gimp, then put them in inkscape where I made the lineart and the base colors, then I re-uploaded it into gimp again, and did everything else. It was really fun.
I used lightning brushes here: www.deviantart.com/art/Lightni…
And cloud brushes here: www.obsidiandawn.com/clouds-ii…
Thank goodness for brushes and the people who make them.

There's something my middle school band teacher used to tell me. "Never say you can't do something, only say 'I haven't learned how to do that yet.'"
This also took me two straight days where I stayed at the computer with my eyes frying out of my face, and I didn't even stop to eat or use the bathroom

Awesome picture! Greath how it catches attention, with the differences between light and dark and their greath anatony!
The fire looks greath too and the expresssions are nice, the details amazing!
Wonderfull picture all in all, keep up the greath work
