ah-DorchaichThis is an entry for Krita's monthly art challnge. I hope 'tis forgivable that I will copypaste the text partly from my post on forum... Just fr cant function more for today.
Ouch, surprisingly I managed to finish it in time! I’ve never rendered so much in my life, ‘twas fun but scary xD also chose new style/technique what basically only added difficulties instead of my hopes to make it easier lol.
Ok, I cheated. I decided to hide my faulty rider (I’ve no idea how to draw horses…) behind the magical effects because “5 seconds before” is more like the spell being cast already IMO. At first the idea was of the dragons preparing to cast.
'Tis fanart. These are youngsters (hence no golden scales and smaller “crests” on their necks") of faerie dragons from HoMM3. If you played - you know how nasty they are as opponents, but boy do I absolutely adore them! Being young I suspect they cant yet cast Implosion, but some lightning-related stuff - totally! I bet the rider feels the static lol. So aye, the goal was to show effects of the magical stuff in the middle of the spell being activated and hitting the target, etc etc. I absolutely hated every part of this work before I finished it, yet even having horrible times in general I managed to finish it and even be satisfied! Honestly it became somewhat very personal and important. I planned it long before discovering this month’s theme but then decided to join because the scene seemed to fit in some way.
And aye ‘tis 4000x2480 so I couldnt compress it adequately. I will include the link to the full original file because the resized one lost lots of details which were a great pain to render n I kinda wanna show off lol. Will also attach some screenshots of details in replies.
