Okay on this one I learned something new, I learned how to make realistic looking ice cubes. Sounds trivial you say? Friggin try it. I had to scour my maps to find just the right transparency map to make convincing ice, then I had to set the gloss, the ambient and the refraction (don't get me started on the refraction). It took nearly every trick and skill in my repertoire just to make some really nice ice cubes.
As for the pic...it's how Obsidian Mask winds down after nearly being blown to bits on a regular basis (he might have problems later on.) As for me I'm a Vodka guy, I like mine with sweet lemonade (you get hammered really fast though cuz it's like candy). |

| The Villain of my novel, the benevolent ruler Dominic Yonir ruler of Ferusi, is kind and gentle and is truly concerned for the well being of his Utopian paradise world. If the people knew the cost of that utopia the would be sickened, for their benevolent monarch is secretly none other than the Mega-villain DOMINION! Yes Dominic leads a double life though always in the service of his people, there is no sacrifice he would not make no price that he would not pay in blood for the well being of his beloved citizens. Dominion has destroyed countless worlds and killed billions all to make the quality of life for his people, unequaled in the five galaxies. The Zero-Men have encountered him on many occasions and thwarted his schemes time and again...but this time may be the last. |

| Half horse half Eagle...Maybe half Griffon, The Hippogriff is a fearsome predator, weighing in at approximately 800 pounds (nearly twice the weight of a Griffin) they sustain themselves on equines and herd animals and occasionally fish. Their only natural predators are dragons and of course Griffons which they will attack on sight. Like the Griffin, they will attack their legendary foe without regard to personal safety or the safety of their riders. Conflicts with Griffins are rare as they inhabit different climates. Hippogriffs inhabit temperate regions while Grifins live in arid tundra. Hippogriffs unlike their cousins are more readily tamed and accepting of a rider making them the preferred mount between the two. |

| The Legendary Griffin majestic hybrid of Lion and Eagle, andoften serving as a loyal mount and companion. These grand beasts can be found soaring the skies of many worlds and have few natural enemies. However, they have what one could only describe as a supernatural hatred of one species in particular...Hippogriiffs. Griffins will attack Hippogriffs in preference to all other combatants regardless of their own personal safety or that of any rider. This aggressive behavior is thought to be a magical/genetic compulsion the cause and purpose of which is as yet unknown. |

| The Chauet are a race of evolved Vampire bats whose food source is blood, a dietary trait called hematophagy. The Chauet has a short, conical muzzle and their features are still very animalistic. They lack a nose leaf, instead having naked pads with U-shaped grooves at the tip. Additionally they also have specialized thermoreceptors on its nose, which aid in locating warm blooded creatures, the Chauet can tune their vision to a TRP (Transient Receptor Potential)-channel that is already heat-sensitive this grants them the equivalent of Thermal Vision. Unlike their smaller cousins they do not possess echo-location abilities and instead have excellent vision. In addition to their Thermal Vision they also possess Night Vision like many predatory animals. The Chauet's technology is on par with that of the Galactic standard though they specialize in synthetic blood products. As one might expect their home world is heavily populated by Undead Vampires who the Chauet happily coexist with. There have of course, been several attempts by Undead Vampires to conquer the planet which have been thwarted by not only the Chauet but the now indigenous Undead as well. It is believed that the Planet Chaue will soon have the largest population of Vampires who are "afflicted" with "Daywalker Syndrome" if it doesn't already. |

| The Arctic Dragon is a fearsome predator, it's dark scales and white fur make for a bright contrast against the snowy plains of the regions these great creatures call home. Their diet is primarily Sea lions and Orca but they have been known to attack Polar bears and other large mammals. They are capable of spewing forth a stream of liquid nitrogen that can instantly freeze even the most durable materials rendering them as brittle as fine crystal. Their body temperature remains at a constant 50 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Although they are fierce predators they have shown a tendency to befriend Solarans and other sentient species protecting them from attacks by other predators. As one might suspect they are quite susceptible to warm temperatures and fire based attacks even temperatures about 40 degrees Fahrenheit can be lethal over a long duration. |

They have no natural enemies and ally themselves with many species. |

| Dragon Vulture
Obsidian Fantasy 2013/11/5 0:46

The Vulture Dragon, so named because of it's gaunt appearance and appetite for carrion, is actually a fearsome predator. It's breath is a noxious liquid that causes rot/corrosion on contact. The magical nature of this liquid causes advanced aging which causes any thing it comes in contact with to age rapidly to the point of decomposition. Certain plastics are unaffected by this as are some ceramics.
This image was shot in the same forest scene as the Forest Dragon and has the exact same settings as well as another modified skin based on Dariofish's Great Dragon textures Frome Renderosity. |

The Forest Dragon is one of the more fearsome dragons ...as dragons go. they are the classic fire-breathing green behemoth of legend and fantasy. They are rather sentient and some can speak albeit only on a rudimentary level.
All that aside this is the single most complex piece I have ever done...the only postwork is the glowing eyes and my logo...all plants are 3d and in render. My standard 4 light setup brought out the best in the scene and the Dragon's skin is a modified version of Dariofish's Great dragon textures from Renderosity, created by me. this was a real labor of love and the render time was an astonishing 20 minutes...eat that Reality users. |

Sky dragons are large even for dragons, though not as large as Mountain Dragon they do share much of the same territory and often come into conflict with the giant behemoths from time to time. Sky dragons are deceptively agile and capable of hovering (Unlike most dragons which cannot) their breath is a blueish flame of intense heat composed primarily of plasma. This intense flame can burn through all but the most resilient materials. Sky Dragons mate for life, unlike other dragons that mate periodically. If the mate should die the surviving dragon often selects a new mate the following mating season. However, if a Sky Dragon's mate is killed the surviving mate often goes on a killing spree searching for it's mate's killer be it man or beast and does not stop until it is killed or it has exacted revenge. In this respect Sky dragons set themselves apart for no non-sentient creature is known to seek revenge making scholars speculate as to just how sentient these magnificent creatures truly are.

| The Rayal are a a reptilian species from the Raya system in the Andromeda Galaxy. They are roughly the same size as Solarans though they tend to be rather slender. Their technology is roughly the equivalent of the Intergalactic average and their society is comparable to Earth in most respects. There is little that is outstanding about Rayal save for the fact that they are nearly immune to most magical effects/spells to roughly 80 percent. As a result they have little interest in magic although they have studies Psionics in depth.The Raya System is a member of the IGFW in good standing and participated in the Millennium Wars for the IGFW. |

| Solarans, formerly known as Humans, or Terrans, come from the planet Sloar-3 (also known as Earth) in the Solar System. Their average life span has been augmented to an astounding 300 years on average. Solarans can be found throughout the 5 galaxies in nearly every walk of life and populate (at least partially) nearly every civilized planet in existence. Solarans are unique in that there is no field of expertise thaey cannot occupy and other species tend to view them as ambitious and greedy as a result of constant expansion. Solarans are only as good or evil as any individual but seem to have a tendency towards selfish motives though a few rare ones are still altruistic. Solarans excel in all fields of technology and make up nearly half of the IGFW's main military forces. |

| Sylvan Elf

| Sylvan Elves are what one typically envisions when they hear the word Elf. They are lovers of nature and weavers of ancient magics. It is well worth noting that Sylvan Elves are space-faring though their ship are usually organic or magical and often both. They are skilled archers and swordsmen trained from birth making them more than a match for most trained warriors, but it is their elder magics which place them among the ranks of the most formidable societies despite their lack of conventional technology. Magic in Sylvan society has replaced all facets of technology from arms and armor to communications and entertainment. The lush groves they guard and tend are unlike anything most creatures have ever seen, but beware...the trees keep the elves secrets and all of the creatures of the forest are at the Sylvan Elves command. It is not unheard of for whole invading armies to be overwhelmed by the very world upon which they sought to conquer. |

| Class 10 Demon

| Demons ranked Class 10 have a domain in an adjacent plane of existence (ie another dimension) and are very powerful often commanding vast legions of minions composed of lesser demons. They also possess incredible powers and some have been known to have reality altering abilities. These powerful being should never be underestimated or trifled with. Few mortals can hope to withstand a confrontation with these mighty beings. Their goals and ambitions are their own and it is unknown what agendas they follow but like all demonic creatures of vast power they seek always to expand their hold on the mortal realms through whatever means necessary. They have only one endearing quality that saves them being called truly evil and that is their word of honor...it is hard to believe but this type of demon is honorable (at least in most cases) and will abide by their word which is rarely given and any oaths made are often twisted. Think of a superpowerful corrupt lawyer. |

| Steed Dragon
Obsidian Fantasy 2013/10/17 5:01
2550 0
Steed Dragons (which come in a wide variety of colors running the entire rainbow) are native to only one planet in the five galaxies Tamoril 4, and are thus highly sought after by collectors of rare species. However, they are unlike most dragons in many respects, for instance: All Steed Dragons breath fire regardless of color, they also have a need to bond with a rider. This last part is very important because without a rider a Steed Dragon will turn rogue attacking anyone unfortunate enough to cross it's path, though no rogues have been reported for hundreds of years. Draco-zoologists have speculated that it is most like magical tampering with the native species and selective breeding which has made these unique creatures they way they. When bonded to a rider (of which the dragon could have several in one lifetime but not more than one at any given time) the dragon confers many magical powers and abilities, all available to the rider even when separated by hundreds of miles. Those abilities are the same no matter the rider and are as follows: Draconic senses (sight, Hearing, Smell) Various spells (nature related), Sensory bond (the ability to see through the eyes of the dragon and hear what it hears), Dragon Heart (the ability to know the general well being of the dragon).
Furthermore the dragon itself possesses a number of abilities beyond those of other dragons which are as follows: Healing flames (a form of fiery breath that heals rather than harms), Rider bond (A form of telepathy which allows the Dragon to communicate with the rider and the rider alone although it works well with other Telepaths), Rapid growth (within 30 days of hatching Steed Dragons reach full maturity), Soul Link ( when bonded with a rider the Steed Dragon will share the rider's faith, beliefs outlook, and behavior making them the perfect companion the more good or evil the rider the more good or evil the dragon. The bond has the negative side effect of being very harmful to the dragon should the rider be killed violently, in which case the shock could overwhelm the dragon and cause it to dies as well. the last and probably most sought after ability is called Dragonsfire this ability extends the life of the rider by hundreds of years and some speculate it may extend it by thousands should a rider avoid any misfortune. This last ability is why the eggs of these creatures are so desperately sought after and is also the reason their planet remains locked in turmoil and has yet to evolve beyond it's medieval era. The planet they reside on however is thankfully under the close watchful eye of the IGFW and no dragons are permitted to be removed from the planet without documentation from the local rulers (which by the way is the only way to acquire one). Steed dragons are not born, they are bread in captivity and no free dragons of any kind roam the continents. It is considered an immense honor to be granted a Steed Dragon and few outsiders have ever had the privilege or left the planet after receiving one, by their own choice. |
