That is amazing as always, I still can't believe you draw all this stuff , I bet you will win mate.
The effect with the fire is amazing!
Thanks for sharing,

I remember reading a Novel titled "Dragon Riders of Pern"
A story about beings from another world who trained dragons to breath fire on falling fireballs to destroy them before they hit their planets surface.On Pern it rained fire instead of water.
This reminds of that book.
The cloud textures in the background are superb Griatch.
It looks as though this poor individual may have parked his cabin or hut as it were in the vicinity of a waking volcano possibly?

Well done as usual in my honest opinion.

I love the fire and the sky reflected in the puddles!

Awesome! I love all of it. The coloring, the detail, the whole image.

You really know light and reflection Griatch. Mentioned this before, but still, this really is an awesome example of this technique applied.

So, is it a blacksmith banging out iron or steel to make a sword?

Thanks people! Don't be shy to lay down critique too if you have any, best way to improve and all.
I will be putting up a timelapse video of this as soon as it has finished compiling.


Haven't read those books, sounds kinda interesting though.

In case you really are unsure of what you are seeing, this is how a classic medieval blacksmith's (forge) building looks.

Need not be a sword, but sure, if you want it to be.

Two light sources with completely different light type! That's hard to pull off. Well done.
