Soul-Consuming Flame - by ozwalled

I'd debated for a while on how to tackle the Soul-Consuming Flame, and finally decided on fewer flames and sort of inner glow. I was thinking of actual images I'd seen before of lava flows, with flames poking up at their surface.

Once I'd finished the character itself though, I knew it needed SOME sort of background. I started out with the floor, which I wanted to have a dry, cracked look. I started out haphazardly not expecting much, but like the effect that I was able to get with what I did. Above him, I tried depicting a smokey, dark Fire Springs.

ozwalled	Drago vs. Flint: The Showdown	Epic battle. Yay experimentation! To shade this and draw Flint and the Tree, I used a majorly-on-its-deathbed brush pen. very interesting. And for the white bits, I used a white gel pen I picked up. (I'll be needing to get s'more of those). SPEAKING of getting more, it looks like the day that I use this paper I've been using will come to an end at some point, since the Green House recycled paper sketchbooks that I used to like using are no longer being carried by my local art store. :( BLEH. Why is it so difficult for me to find sketchbooks with pages that aren't bleached white. :P I have nothing AGAINST white pages, but a beige tone (and a texture like these has) can be a lot of fun to play with. Ah well. And they were cheap, too ($5 each).	4/12/09
