Description
WELL.....that took a lot longer than expected!"Tradition of hunting dragons" my BUTT! How on earth are you supposed to kill one of those things?
I'm hoping to make stuff more regularly, but with uni starting soon, my prospects of doing so are probably not going to be very high at all
.Hope you guys enjoy this! :]

Wahooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww.....
And that's why "Dragons" are so legendary.

What Sozin never officially declared was that the challenge of earning the title of "Dragon" was basically just a method of Fire Nation population control.
Anyhoo, thank you for the favourite!

Your attention to detail never fails to amaze! Love this, your paintings just get better and better c:

Aaaaaaaw, thanks, Dingle!
Detail's easier to do when it's just linework as opposed to actually needing to colour stuff in! Grrr!

Gee, I wonder what his great grandma looked like!
Thanks for the fav!

OH MY GOD
Where do I start with this?
This is AMAZING!
The way the dragons are posed and the angle that you used is just incredible. Not to mention the details. Ok you win the gold star.

Ooooooh, I'm so happy that people seem impressed by the angle. At the time, I don't think it occured to me as being particularly inventive
Thanks, Quad! :]

You have gained a new level, please spend your skill points at the character screen.
So i see you decided not to go with motion blur, like i said before, with this choice you get the nice detail and the other one you would've gotten something of a photoshop effect. However, i suppose in retrospect, you should probably be showing off your talent with drawing rather than photoshop effects.
As far as colours and stuff goes, you've picked much more "solid" colours in this picture than your other ones. I think the palette you chose is simply better, and it shows. The days you spent going back and adding contrast again and again gives it a lot of depth.
The touch of shadow here and there, little bit for the guy, and also the chips in the stairs shows the little details you put in, which is really what made you take longer "than expected".
I believe, if you're concerned people cant enjoy the whole thing, you can change what the download button does. At least i remember that being an option.

Yay! A proper comment from Ultrapunk!
I actually consider it more hardcore of an artist to use motion blur than to not use it. Truth be told, it strikes me as a little presumptuous to not use motion blur just to show off detail which isn't that fantastic in the first place, but ah well
Contrast is definitely better than my usual stuff, but could still be improved. I'm hoping to do so with more time.

Proper picture, proper comment
Well i mean, right now you're spending so much time trying to build this detail which you lose with the motion blur but ah well.
Contrast contrast contrast!

Beautiful. B-e-a-utiful! I can't believe how well you drew the dragons! This is awesome. Great-great-great job!

I'm glad that you like the dragons. As you probably noticed, they don't quite follow their appearance on the TV show itself, I basically combined the traits of the dragons as they appear in Avatar with the way dragons are drawn in various Hong Kong comics (they make Eastern-style dragons look really cool), threw in a few of my own interpretations for good measure, and this is the result
Also, thank you for the favourite!

You are most welcome! Yeah, I noticed a little difference, but I love it. Quite impressive. How long did it take you? I think your description said it took you a long time, right?
π: 0 β©: 1
I worked on this on and off for a couple of weeks. Usually, I'm content to hit 'submit', but this time, I decided to wait for quite some time because usually, each time you wake up and see your work-in-progress with fresh eyes, you can always find something new to add/change.
Even now, there's still stuff I could have changed, but I decided that I've spent enough time on this and don't ever want to touch it again 
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, indeed. Well, your patience really shows in your work. Great job, once again! Two thumbs way, way up!

This is... absolutely incredible. The detail and color in this, and the fact that this actually looks like the scene in The Firebending Masters is so impressive. Really really great work, I love it! Fav'd. : )

Well, it wasn't too difficult to make it look like a scene from that episode, since I basically set the time of day at the same time, and had an idea of how the light from the sun was going to interact with the sea and the bridge, courtesy of that episode, but thanks!
I felt like drawing something without any of the gAang involved :].
Thanks for the fav, too. :]

Aaaaaaah yes, the bridge was fun except when I got to the stairs. DARN YOU, stairs!
Thank you for the comment and the favourite!

this is some top notch rendering of movement, perspective and architecture -non of which I am able to do well, so I'm massively envious of you!
what can I say? it's AWESOME!
π: 0 β©: 1
Aaaw, Kay - you always know what to say to make a guy feel better about himself
I'm just going to try and learn to accept compliments more because that's something I ought to be doing, so thank you!
Although truth is, picking the angle I did means that I don't really need to worry about perspective at all
π: 0 β©: 1
Not often as I ought to be, but yeah - I'm still here
I blame StarCraft 2!

whaat? lol I finished it a month back...only in casual and normal modes though 
Or is Heart of the Swarm out and I don't know about it?

Why isn't this piece getting more love, seriously! It's so dramatic and colorful, not to mention dizzying with the dragon's-eye view POV. Excellent stuff!
π: 0 β©: 1
Wheeee - dizzying isn't something that would have occured to me, but I'm pleasantly surprised that it has that effect on people. Wish I'd thought of that while working on this.
I'm happy that you like it, and thank you for the favourite! :]

I remember this episode, I was thinking the same thing. "What the hell? One person is suposed to kill one of those? Oh hell no..." XD rofl
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly! Even the fiercest firebending attack looks like it'd just bounce off them.
π: 0 β©: 0
Instant fav. Seriously. Wow. You have now officially transitioned into "should be a professional artist on a huge high profile project and make millions off of it".
