You barely made it through this hell. That beast burned down most of the forest you were hiding in. It kept roaring and thrashing through the thick growth; ripping out burning trees almost like a kid would rip a hand full of grass from a meadow. Your legs were tired as you reached a clearing and your lungs burned from breathing in smoke and hot air. You turned around to see the back of this massive creature. Its muscular hindlegs that kept on stomping the ground and its gigantic tail that plowed through the forest and leveled big chunks of it with each swipe. The other side of the dragon worked on the same task, smashing the foliage with claws and spitting massive streams of fire on it... just to find you. “Not this time...” You murmur, having trouble to form simple sentences without coughing and gasping for air. It searched the wrong part of the forest for you, it will never find you. You turned your back to the creature and continued with your escape in a slower, less exhausting pace. You moved about half a mile before you heard it. Felt it. A bone shattering roar that left the air around you vibrating and stopped you in your tracks. You were too shocked to turn around right away. Paralyzed, like a stupid animal facing a great danger. You just listened. The earth started shaking slightly as a series of thundering crashes emitted from behind you. You heard trees breaking. Giving away under the weight of that beast like dry twigs under your boots. Finally you brought up the courage to turn around and immediately wished you hadn't.

This is just so awesome! Some time ago I ended up being the lucky second pick for a speedpaint commission by centradragon and I'm totally happy with how this turned out. The whole mood of the picture is just fantastic and intimidating with all the fire and smoke.
I would not want to see this big fellow moving towards me.

Well, every now and again, you have to make a bit of a show out of finishing off your enemies. You know, for the image. If rumours spread about "the big, ruling Dragonlord" sparing the life of an offender, or - perish the thought! - showing mercy...! Then you won't have a single peaceful year in your domain, constantly getting harassed by venturers, do-gooders and armies sent by crazy queens.
In that light, yes. Small sacrifice for looking badass! :D
Call me Syrrik, btw ;)

Hey Tarkus, this guy is crazy. You shouldn't listen to a word of that nonsense. Mercy is a great thing to have! Think of all the friends mercy has made you so far! Now fire... Fire just burns things. Fire is bad, and hurts. Friends don't like fire. I respect you very much, even without all the roaring and burning.
Ohh, I fully agree! Mercy is a wonderful thing! And it comes in so many different forms...! It should never be taken lightly, the consideration whether it is a time for fire, or a time for mercy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a heartless being, on the contrary! Emotions are always part of my considerations - especially the ones I instill in others. I would ask you to notice me talking about enemies and offenders.
I, too, have friends, and I'm fully aware that fire is not a good way to tend to friendships you want to last...
You seem like a sharp mind. I might be interested to get to know you a lil more closely, if you don't mind?
There's another thing you were right about.
<-- This guy is crazy! ;)

oh wow was für ein unglaubliches Bild
alleine schon sein Auftreten ist sehr angst einflößend, dass man sofort weglaufen möchte wenn so eine große Kreatur durch den Wald stampft, ich würde vor Angst stehen bleiben und könnte keinen einzigen Muskel mehr bewegen wenn sowas gewaltiges auf einen zukommt :)
wirklich eine erstaunliche Arbeit von centradragon

Also ich hab ja den Eindruck, Du bist erfreut mich zu sehen - nicht um mich platt zu machen, vielmehr um Dich zu einem Klönschnack zu mir zu setzen... ^^
Großartiges Bild, gerade auch als Speedpaint. In meiner Welt sind Drachen ja nicht so die Doombringer, aber ich mag solche Bilder trotzdem.

Your expression seems to me, that you're glad to see me - not to burn me to ashes, but to sit down and talk to a known Dragon from the neighborhood... ^^
Great artwork, I like such speedpaints, though in my world Dragons are not doombringers...^^

It seems to me that you have some difficulty with the physiognomy of big dragons :D
Thank you. I love speedpaints as well.
Not every dragon has to be a doombringer. But well... the particular one is. Though doombringer might actually a little exaggeration. He's not a dumb malevolent being, who lives for death and destruction. But nonetheless he's an arrogant asshole.
