An Emperor's Pride

Well, here goes nothing...

Here is my favourite among the numerous characters i have created. Emperor Inferno, leader of the Red Dragonflight in my Fantasy RPG. With armour that can deter all but the most powerful blows, mastery over the skies, a bite to put most others to shame, fiery weapons that could bring anything short of hell itself to it's knees before him, complete command over anything with a tempreture, a very creative mind and a merciless, though hard to lose temper, he is a force to be reckoned with if crossed.

the striped fin isn't really striped. i intend on erasing it once i colour it. the fin is multi coloured and elemental, so in order to make sure i don't go too far with one of it's colours, i've marked it with lines. the fin goes from royal blue at the base, to cyan just above it, to yellow above that, to orange, and finally red, all of it seemingly made of fire. his wings are unusually massive by Dragon standards, giving him more capability while in the air, and still being capable of incredibly tight aerobic manouvers. his tail has a 5 spike fan tail, the talon/spikes on the end capable of slashing through solid diamond like butter, as is the case with his clawed limbs. if he wills to, he can excrete an extremely hot liquid from the tip of the center spike, the liquid being hot enough to melt through just about anything. powerful, but very hard to anger, he is the one to approach with problems the other older, more experienced emperors would see themselves to high to bother with. he also has a tendency to handle things better than they do as well, his young, free mind more imaginative than the other 6 elderly dragons...

for more on his personality, you might want to check in on my site, RPGTopia.com. it's a cozy little site with plenty of friendly members. still, you don't have to bother with anything. i hope the drawing looks impressive as i hope...

it's still a work in progress, but the basic pose and look are done. i may work on the background and shading in the future, though i dread both [shading+ extreme detail= disaster, me+background= big mess]
