I created an EPIC DRAGON BATTLE in Photoshop!

For this week’s #photoshop #speedart, I wanted to create another piece around #dragons … but this time I had a craving to create an epic battle scene in anticipation for the upcoming #houseofthedragon prequel series to #gameofthrones that premiers next year.
This piece took 5 Hours to complete and is primarily a mix of photo-manipulation techniques as well as some digital painting where needed.

one of the things I learned from this: *when something doesn't look quite right, cover it in smoke or clouds, it works every time*

[@Crimbtw]

This couldn't be any truer

Number one trick of all time

[@ImadAwan]

Damn! This is amazing! The dude on the rock; so badass!!

Now, do a full length 3 hour video explaining the technics and tools used...

[@finningeraxel-ange919]

I'd prefer a stream. More interactions, Q&A, tips & tricks etc.. that would be huge 😄

@@williamr.s.5693 not just any McDonald’s meal, it’s my favourite McDonald’s meal lol.

[@mmoarchives2542]

he lost his sword, he picks up a shield that was neaby next to the fallen, no survivors, he gets on the rock out of anguish and determined to defeat his foe, he realizes they are out matched so he takes the flag up standing on the rock and waves the retreat, but it was too late, there were no escape, i alone was the sole survivor, now it's just me and him, whose fate is sealed? whose destiny continues on? only blood will determine

[@meow_770]

He is the commander but drogo is about to get him

[@HelenaCross]

Reminds me of that one scene in Game of Thrones where the Lannister army tried to transport a train of goods (supplies and money?) and the dragon just burns the lot of them and their wagons. Basically, the dragon was a fire breathing, flying tank. Love the attention to detail in the neck with the fire glow! And the little silhouettes flying off as things get destroyed.

[@PhaseRunner]

Thank you 😊🙏
