Description
With finals and school done with for now, I finally have some more time on my hands to just enjoy working on a picture. I've been working on this picture for nearly two weeks since sketching it at the end of November, and it turned out better then I thought it'd look.
Yes, it's another Runescape picture, but it's a picture I've been wanting to crank out since October when I obtained a Chaotic Rapier (the toothpick in his right hand), which has to be one of the best weapons in the game. With the Elite Enhanced Excalibur, you can heal yourself a massive 400 lp (or about 40% of maximum health) with a white aura and boost your defenses, making both of these weapons together a lethal combination.
A few other things I had fun with were the Dragon Platelegs. Yes, they aren't typically how they are designed in game, and no they are not how I normally draw platelegs, but it is based off the design of Primal Platelegs from dungeoneering. I gave it a bit of a "Dragon" armor feel to it by making it red and adding spikes.
This basically is the outfit I used in my M'SYNC picture months ago (link here [link] ) and just updated it with a few different items and designs. The full list of items in this picture are the following :
Verac's Brassard
Dragon Platelegs
Chaotic Rapier
Elite Enhanced Excalibur (I call it the Triple E
)Dragon Boots
Overall, was a lot of fun, was a lot of work, and I'm happy to see it finally reach completion. Hope you like it.

hey i found your picture in the gallery of a recent fav.
i see alot of glow and lights. did you paint the glow or use a layer style?
you did pretty well on the legs, especiall the calf area.

Um... I did both? I'm not quite sure. I just used a lot of layers for each section, like one for base color, another for overlay, another for basic shading, and another for luminosity.

You say, "Yes, it's another RuneScape picture" like that's a bad thing!
Your background here works great. It is so much better than white space, but not in the least distracting from the subject. And on the subject, your lighting from both weapons is awesome, and he looks like a beefcannon. Nice job.

I think I keep trying to start off on my own armors and such, but it's hard to get away from Runescape.
It was so fun just coming up with this idea for the picture and it's purpose, though it's been in the making since October. 
And at least you didn't comment on my ass this time.
Thanks

wow awesome!
the platelegs look amazing with all those spikes(I'm a big fan of spikes)
Nicely done

I'm a fan of spikes too. There should definitely be even more spikes on the dragon armor then they have now. Thanks.

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that my efforts were successful. I don't do many bareback or even any unclothed pictures, so this is definitely something new to me. Glad I didn't screw up too badly on it.

I don't think you screwed up at all.

I'd like to thank you for all the help you helped me with. I was so confused and I probably would of made a bad mistake on this without your opinion and advice. Couldn't of done it without you.
Also, the platelegs are probably my favorite thing in this picture as well cause it's recognizable, but you know it's not in game. That feeling is something I love to portray, and I hope to keep redesigning particular weapons and items in the future.
Shading was fun, but very tedious. On the past few pictures I've made, I maybe have breeched 40 layers on each, but not on this one. lol. Oh no.. I didn't just pass 40 layers, I tripled it. I had 130 layers of mainly lighting for each section on here. I'm glad it actually worked out well, but I think those layers are what caused my computer to crash a few times. lol
And yus, those ears are natural

I think the layers are what really killed the picture in terms of me trying to resize it. Took up way too much memory, but I'll try to not use as much next time

Ah yes having such large images can really slow down a pc

I like the since of motion and the weaponry you have in this pieces. The body armor looks cool too.

I was originally going to have a bunch of stuff swirling around him with white sparkles like on the sword to give more of a magic feel. Unfortunately, my computer had a fit and it wouldn't work for me due to memory issues, so I improvised. I think this turned out better then what my original idea was, so I'm quite happy with the decision.
Thanks.
