Description
***HAPPY EASTER 2020***The story to this artwork is simple: A few dark mages are trying to perform an unholy ritual and our heroes Reptile and Kyle are trying to stop them.
The artwork itself was NOT simple... this is by far my most complex and time-consuming artwork of all times (and remember that I'm drawing Reptile since 1996)!
Why was it so difficult and what was my intention?
Well... I wanted to create
+ an artwork at night (more realistic night scene than before),
+ only a limited amount of special light sources (moonlight and magic spells),
+ characters shown at night with unusual colouring.
And that's really it... the COLOURING! Sure, the line art was cool and so on... but the entire project and scene lives from the colours.
And I love the final result!
Hopefully, you will enjoy it too. Β
^^
Drawing media:
Pencils, ink, brush, COPICS, markers, coloured pencils, acrylics (no digital media except adding some contrast)
Working time:
5 days (about 30 hours)
All characters and artwork (c) Patrick Reichel aka 2020
***SPECIAL SURPRISE***
Here you can watch a little video that shows the drawing process of this artwork!

This work of art takes me back to 2004, when I started to know and enjoy your art in places like this and on your website. I am not an artist so I have no technical comments. I can only say that I love what I see and the memories it evokes in my mind. Saludos Patrick

Hey, thanks a lot for the nice comment!Β
Ya know... I don't expect a technical comment or stuff like that... I'm really happy that my artworks can... well, create such feelings or memories.
That is cool! ^^Β

As I mentioned before, the fact that you add the dark night environment with these set of colors and mixing them with the blue and green really gave this pic a good impression that everything in this scene is placed well and convincing too.
Everything here and every character appeals to the pic perfectly, and the shading work in a nocturnal time came out pretty nice as well.
And of course, what I like the most here is how you manage to make the textures of some parts of the pic like the trees, stones, and reptileΒ΄s scales with the inking work. Gives a nice volum and texture impression too and it blends nicely with the colors.

Wie du in dem Profil schon nachgefragt hast: Ja, natΓΌrlich ist das Bild auch hier! Es ist auf dieser Seite sogar schon vor ein paar Tagen erschienen.
Und in den letzten paar Wochen sind einige Bilder entstanden... allerdings kein "traditionelles Reptile Bild", die brauchen immer sehr lange.
SchΓΆn, dass es dir gefΓ€llt.

Looks like action is about to go down with the two of them. Awesome, my friend.Β Β

Yeah and I am not even sure if they can beat those two mages that easily... those dudes play with evil, powerful spells.
XD
Glad you like it!! ^^Β

I didn't expect a new Reptile artwork to come anytime soon since last Reptile pic and Legoshi pic, so this is such sweet sight to look at with awesome coloring and how Reptile looks. <3Β
I hope you weren't too stressed when you were making this.

Stressed?? NOT at all!!! Drawing is the MOST relaxing thing I can think of... that's why I do this. And spending 30 hours wasn't a waste of time - on the contrary! ^^Β
And since the last REPTILE artwork was a digital "Swimsuit Edition" artwork... but this here is a traditional, official artwork again!
^^
Thanks for the nice comment! :3

Great job with the lighting. I guess these two are very hands-on kings.Β

Does Reptile have a weapon in this one? Maybe it's just the small size of my phone's screen, but I didn't see one.
π: 0 β©: 1
In this case, he has only two weapons: FISTS and FANGS!!!Β Β
^^
And that's enough against those mages. Maybe, his DRAGONCLAW is laying around somewhere... but all this metal... it would immediately shine and attract too much attention.
And it's not easy walking through this forest with that large thing!
XD

His toe claws might help too. Seriously, those are some big feet.

I can definitely see this as either a stealth section in a video game or the intro to it.
Amazing work man!

That was the idea! ^^Β
THANKS very much!!!!!!!!!!!!! :3

Awesome!! honestly if my OC was in a game it would be something like DMC or WWE All Stars x3
You're welcome man!!

Yes, that was... a whole lot of work.Β
AND THAT IS the only good coming out of the "Corona" holidays... the fact that I have more time than usual.Β
And I'm happy that I was able to do this project now. It was originally intended for the summer holidays.
^^
Glad you like it!
