Wow. That's cool.

...By the way, are those knight-guys supposed to stand a chance? Because it doesn't look like they do.

Stunning work, the metallic shell of the creature is lit up effectively by the surrounding chaos, maintaining a menacing appearance as it looms over the humans. Looking forward to more Daarken, love your work.

You did all of that in 4 hours, or was it already lined?

Either way, really impressive work. I love the orange light effects on the right side.

Nope, no line work. I actually never do any kind of sketches or anything ahead of time.
