Fire Vs Ice - No matter who wins, humans are screwed.
Yes, the title speaks for itself, kind of. The two immortal dragons are fighting for power, the fire dragon that lives in the Volcano region someplace in Hawai has flown all the way to Greenland to fight the ice dragon (they met half way, it was a mutual decision). And now the battle is to begin, but if one of them was to be destroyed there is no one to keap the other dragons away from turning on to humans. Render time about 2 hours 1920x1200, 3 volume spheres. One infinite cloud plane. No postwork, as you can tell by the sharp cut lines from volumetrics crossing. Here is a bigger version: http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/6932/entry4nosigge9.jpg

Here the collision of the volume spheres works well to create a force field effect around the respective dragons, however, on other occasions this cutting into of one volume sphere into another has had me tearing out what little hair I have left. I like the subtle use of coloured lights in spite of some of the detail getting lost in the overall brightness of the snow.
Very nice volumetrics. The cold dragon gets a bit obscured by the white landscape. Good idea though, and superbly done.
Amazing use of the plasma, especially the fire. The large plasma spheres are less convincing than the smaller ones. Lighting, I love it! Very realisitc. Snow works well for me except for the streaking. Nice work once again!
