Slightly Broken

Such disjointed feeling -
A lack of relation...
Yet all my being
Is filled with realisation

Of things that I leave
Outside of my perspective,
That I do not seek
In compliance with inner directives.

It takes to be broken in atoms
To notice the whole -
Only then do you fathom
That you are not alone.

Yay for dark elves! Especially ones going "rawr" as they land upon a dozing city, recklessly jumping off their draconic steeds and using magic to slow the fall. Inspired by dreams and other fun things, although not any one in particular.

The spell effects were quite fun to do. I got a trial version of FontCreator by High-Logic and made a rune font, with different squiggles for caps and regular letters. Then in Photoimpact wrote bits of text using the self-made font (which may or may not contain a few lines from the 'I'm a little Teapot' song, things to do with rhubarb from a certain game and a Terry Pratchett quote). Afterwards I wrapped the text in a circle (modified Bend Text function from Photoimpact) and the rest is perspective adjustments in 3d space and then playing with zoom blur, camera motion blur and colors in Painter.

Corel Painter 9, Ulead Photoimpact 8, Wacom Intuos 3, don't remember how long it took but certainly longer than intended.

*shuffles back to actually working on the commissions*

May be reposted for as long as my name and preferably also a link back to my gallery are provided along with it in a clear manner. May not be copied/traced/modified/tubed/blended/etc. without my express written permission.

Edit: fixed the hand/arm after figuring out that it was bent the wrong way, oops. Thanks for your crits!

The first impression of this picture was stunning and now I notice more and more details. Interesting angle you've chosen here. I simply LOVE your picture.

I love the spellwings and the dragon overhead, not to mention his calm expression.

amazing, this is awesome

~Gusindor Aug 1, 2011 Student General Artist

I love the wings of the spell, and how they echo the dragon's wings, and also his billowing coat. Everything about the spell looks amazing, the runes, the wings, the magic circles, everything's just fantastic.
