Description
Fruehlingsfest, somewhere in Bavaria, a long while back: Ariolas (blondie Elf) and Taiev (red-head), staggering home...only...not entirely unaccompanied. They're both mages, so, Ariolas says, "That business about the Wyrm was just a nasty rumor. There ain't no wyrms in cities! Everybody knowsh that. Where would they live? An', an' how bad could it be, anyhow? Not like that time in...where was that?"
Taiev: "Shut UP for a moment. I heard something. Maybe. I'm sure I did."
Ariolas: "Thash right, light up a big magefire, let EVERYONE know we're here."
Taiev: "Nah... wyms burn good...I think...maybe...? And what about you? Red velvet AND armor? Sheesh. Nobody'd notice THAT...You're a f*#$#@! red flag..."
Ariolas: "I'm ...well, over five thousand years old, and I don' give a sh**, I"ll wear f*** armor if I **@@#@!#$@#$ want to, an' who's gonna say..."
You get the drift.
PS - When Ri gets drunk, his glamour starts to slip...that's the sparkly stuff showing through. He's an Elf. It's OK for Elves to glitter...well, his aura induces headaches in humans...so he's mostly glamoured.
...oh dear, I have the people on the left and the critters on the right again... *sigh*
Production notes: M4 Enhanced (both) with my dial-spun characters. Jack of Hearts and another set of Luthbel/Arien beautiful togs on them; Antfarm's NeverMore set; Dinokanda Plus; Ron's Steam & Smoke brushes. Hair, magic, idiocy and drunkenness added in post.
PPS - The Wyrm was heading for its home in the hole on the left! It got away, and so did the guys. The next day it wasn't so lucky.

A week? Wow, your patience is inspiring. Seriously, I would have given up after a day or two...I have no patience, although I'm slowly learning/gaining it. This image is fantastic. You can tell that Ariolas is a bit out of it, not really believing Taiev. It's definitely obvious Taiev would rather be safe than sorry. Excellent use and posing of the Dinokonda. Lovely, lovely image. One of my favorites, but that might be because it features Taiev and I have a thing for redheads. ;)
A fantastic scene! The posing and lighting are exceptional and I LOVE the dialogue!
Very cool!
NICE scene ! :)
This is an awesome fantasy scene. Very well done.
Excellent
Excellent, great lightwork too :)
awesome scene and great rendering
great setting and atmosphere, excellent
Outstanding work with the lights and effects! A well done image enhanced by a great story!
I like your guys and your storylines so much--I always get a thrill when I see a nfredman ebot in my inbox! I know that there will be a treat waiting! And I don't care if the critters always get put on one side or another..it makes sense since Westerners tend to "read" from left to right.
great lighting, well done scene
