The Storm. Nature's expression of Adversity.
Wrath of the sky itself. Bane of many a dragon. Yet here I am, amidst the black clouds.
My wingbeat fights Adversity itself, my roar taunts it in defiance. Long bolts of lightning threaten death upon me, yet I heed no warning. My Ancestors ruled over the Storm. And so I will brave it myself, test my mettle.
Those clouds, those dark plumes obscure the Light itself, as if to suffocate the spark of life within me. Thunder is the harbringer of Chaos. Uncertainty. I am uncertain in my struggle against the Storm, yet I still take the flight.
Even if I find no Light, even if the Chaos gets the better of me, I shall continue to fly through the Storm. To cry out in defiant rage.
To own the darkness, master the lightning, subjugate the wind. To rise.
I'm a dragon - and a dragon is not a slave to his fear.
May the Ancestors give me the strength to keep those wings beating. To carry on.
Here's yet another gorgeous speedpaint from Isvoc! An aerial piece was on my mind for a long time, especially one involving some stormy ambience. Not a leisurely flight, but a challenge to overcome. And oh boy did she deliver! I'm very fond of this one, from the composition of colors, through the powerful, dynamic wingbeat, all the way to those amazing clouds in the background. Amazing quality in such a short timespan leaves me nothing but impressed!
Arcaizen himself is a scion of an Elderblood line which once had an affinity to the winds and storms, but with his potential being dormant, the struggle isn't made much lighter by that fact. It's still a fight against the elements and an emotional vent of sorts. Sometimes you just have to roar an insult into the emptiness of the world.
Of course, as usual, the due credit goes to the artist: leilryu - make sure to show her your appreciation if you like the style!

Arcaizen, the not-so-old dragon yelling at clouds, belongs to me.

And should I fall, may it be a dignified dive into the tempestous abyss.

An absolutely fantastic piece, a good commission and most suiting for you. :>
I saw this on leilryu's page and really liked it. I'm quite thrilled to see there's some story for it too! Oooooooo this is exciting.
A dragon flying boldly in a thunderstorm? Hah, what's not to love about that!
*Long bolts of lightning threaten death upon me, yet I heed no warning.* I love that line.
