Description
"Now here we stand with their blood on our hands, We fought so hard now can we understand. I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can, For freedom of every man!" ~Dragonforce: Through The Fire And FlamesI thought I would upload this before I left for vacation, even though I wasn't originally going to. I figured it would be nice to come back from vacation with a butt-load of comments lol! All done in Adobe Photoshop CS2 except for the line art- that was done in pencil and scanned in. The file was well over 1.5G when opened in Photoshop. It damn near crashed my computer every time I attempted to edit it. I can honestly say- this is my best piece to date. I spent countless hours on this piece, getting the hair right, the shading, the eyes- everything. I really love all the blood on the armor as well as the flames but my favorite part is the hair since I haven't done hair on this scale before. Thanks for the pointers/tips =Lord-FSan it was greatly appreciated and very helpful.

I'm not a hardcore enough fan to know the albums, but there are a few songs I like. One obviously being the song that titles this piece of mine.

I am known as the biggest fan of theirs in my hometown, even got my fiance into it, I even auditioned to be their new singer after ZP Theart quit, they said admitted that I did have passion but didn't think I would hold up on the tour schedule

I’ve never seen so much detail devoted into flames like this. I love it.

Thanks! The flames are actual flames lol. That's why the look 'real' it's all about photo-manipulation here. I'm glad you like it

Nice job! I love this picture, and how it relates to the song! I love Dragonforce by the way. Do you play Guitar Hero?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, but that's not where I heard the song from originally. I'm quite the gamer as you can see by my gamer card [link] but at the same time I'm a big metal head. It was going to be this song or one by KillSwtich Engage.
Thanks for the comment!
