WIP - Nocturne [and life update]

Description

EDIT: I've included the final steps! Check out the special effects!



    This is a work in progress of a fiery Nocturne dragon walking over chunks of hardened lava. It's going to be heavy in smoke and special Photoshop effects, complete with flowing embers and distance blur. I really want to push myself to make something that will be a good summation of all the things I've learned during 2014, but keep to the style I've sort of become attached to.

    The new Flight Rising breeds, the Nocturnes, really are my favourite breed right now. Of course, I don't actually own any at the moment- I'm going to wait a couple months until their price drops down into the gutters like every other breed (gee, thanks Flight Rising economy!) before I start assembling my fiery Nocturne dragon army for the Flamecaller. I really love their stout bodies and bat-like appearance. They remind me a lot of the traditional style of dragons most people would think of if you asked them about that.

    I had a wonderful Christmas this year, spending all of it just with my dad talking about things and building LEGOs. He gifted me a wonderful pair of headphones, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, and I've spent most of this evening just listening to my music library and exploring the things I thought I knew. It's really a neat feeling discovering echos and bass that you didn't hear before, especially with the sort of music that I listen to.

    I think I may have to start over and find FLAC replacements for my library, because there is a noticeable difference between that and the traditional MP3s I have always opted for. That's a huge undertaking in its own right, though. Haha.

    I hope you all have had a wonderful holiday break as well! I didn't do anything Christmas related on Deviant Art this year as I figured you'd already be swamped with that type of stuff already. I'm lazy too.

    That too.

Nocs are the best breed I have been waiting on them since I joined and could not be happier.
The prices are already dropping a lot. Last I looked there were some on the AH for 167kT at the lowest, which is pretty low, and around 200-300 gems.


This looks amazing and I can't wait to see he finished product!
