Description
Well, here I am, back with some new artwork. I have to admit, after all those submissions I cranked out a few weeks back at high speed, I kind of burned out for a while and needed some rest. The unfortunate thing is, once I got out of the art thing, it was hard for me to get back into it. I had another idea for a pic that I wanted to do before this one, but for some reason, it just felt too daunting and I didn't feel up to it. So to get my mojo working again, I decided to just start small with a simple pic that I knew I could just bang out in a couple of hours, no problem.Or at least it FELT that way when I started. But wouldn't you know it, it ended up taking nearly twice as long to get it finished, despite the simplicity of the concept. In the end, it ended up being the finer details that ended up taking forever and a day for me to iron out. But nevertheless, the pic is done.
This one comes to us, courtesy of a request from , one of my more recent fans, but a definite lover of my work. Anyway, he wanted to see a pic based on my DP fanfic, "Trial By Fire", a story in which Sam acquires ghostly flame powers, in contrast to Danny's freezing abilities. While a period of training with Dora Mattingly gives her the ability to control her new powers, it isn't until Sam receives encouragement from Danny that she gains the confidence she needs to actually do it.
What you see here is the end result when Sam taps into her controlled flame powers for the first time. Granted, this form is a little extreme. for example, the jets of flame jutting out from her back like wings are not something you see every time she uses her powers. This was just something she added for emphasis. Especially considering that the ghost she was fighting at the time was Undergrowth.
Yes, this pic is basically being seen from Undergrowth's POV. And in this scene he's about to learn the hard way what it means when one force of nature encounters another that's meant to keep it in check. Anyway, this pic represented a couple of firsts for me, so I hope everyone likes what they see. , especially you, since this was your request.^_^

I think you're confusing the part where she burned the trees that were pinning Danny down with the part where she stabbed Undergrowth in the hand with her flaming Ghost Ray Blade.Β But my explanation for that is that Sam can set fire to anything flammable by focusing her heat aura.

What it has to do with Sam is that Godzilla is claimed as a living, unstoppable force of nature. Β For example, when Godzilla ascends from the sea, he creates tsunamis. Β When he walks the earth he causes earthquakes. Β Both tsunamis and earthquakes are something the Japanese are far to familiar with. Β

Well, Sam can't do anything on THAT epic a scale.Β But yeah, I imagine tsunamis, typhoons and hurricanes are something the Japanese have to deal with quite regularly.Β The cost of doing business out in the ocean, I fear.

I noticed a picture of Danny dressed like a green lantern in your gallery, so I have to ask if Sam's flame wings were inspired by another DC hero named Firehawk. So... was I at least close?

Actually, the Green lantern pic was a request.Β The pic of Sam with flame wings came from a scene from my fanfic, "Trial By Fire", where Sam gains full control of her ghostly flame powers and is about to take on Undergrowth.Β It wasn't based on any particular character.Β It was just something that I thought would make a cool illustration of Sam's mastery over her new ability.Β It's nice to think about, though.^_^

Well, the point of the pic was to be dazzling. This is the point in my fanfic, "Trial By Fire", where Sam gains full mastery of her ghostly flame powers and this pic was all about her just looking feminine, but at the same time, pointing out that Undergrowth is about to get a serious beating.^_^

Undergrowth is screwed.

TuxedAaron In reply to Kaimiiru [2012-06-19 07:00:52 +0000 UTC]
I don't know. This comparison may not be as obvious as you think, seeing as how you're only the second person to make it.^_^
But while Undergrowth IS screwed (as evidenced by my fanfic that this pic is based off of), I don't know if calling Sam a Firebender is 100% accurate. After all, bending requires specific motions and gestures. All Sam needs to do is snap her fingers to make flames appear.
Glad you like the pic.

Well, at least not anymore. However, in my story, "Trial By Fire" (where this scene is taken from), she now remembers everything Undergrowth did to her and made her to to everyone else (including Danny) in the episode, "Urban Jungle", so you can imagine she's not too happy with him.

But in light of your statement, let's just say that as the scene progressed in my story, it was Undergrowth who was more than likely doing a little praying.

Hey, just wanted to say I love the pic. When reading the story, I knew Sam would have the look of someone you definitely wouldn't want to mess with. Take what I was expecting, put it in the Fenton Ecto-Skeleton, and this is what you get. Love the aura and especially love her flaming Ghost ray blade. Thank you, you've exceeded the expectations of my request. (I saw that my avatar was blank when you did this request, so I quick threw one together.) Keep up the awesome work!
