Fight Three in AFL (the uber-tournament run by :iconangelcrusher:) and Vigil faces :iconbaxtardarkdragon:'s character - Baxtar the Dragon!

I was really pleased to get this character. Like Vigil, Baxtar is one of a select group of veterans of all three AFL tournaments, and yet the two characters have never crossed paths before. That said, it was tough to cme up with a way for Vigil to beat him!

I've taken certain liberties with Baxtar's design here to make him a little more threatening (and deserving of his nasty demise at Vigil's hands!) in doing so I forgot about his 'sideburns' so apologies to his creator for that mistake! A more accurate Baxtar will appear on my big AFL II pic if I ever finish it!

WOW this is awsome, loving pretty much everything in this, really strong artwork, great story, and i dread to think what Vigil would do to Creature if they ever get to face off.

Loving the silhouette in the bottom left and also that we can see through the portals, dont get me wrong the white insides is cool but it really hits home for me to see what they're opening up to aswell.

Nice stuff man

REALLY powerful image. and powerful ending. :lol: last panel reminds me of episode of TMNT when they had some giant/robot/godzilla something and they killed it the same way.

In this time are we loving
Or do we sit here wondering
Why this world isn’t turning round
It’s now or never

Thanks for the kind words and the :+fav: - I haven't seen that episode - the idea occurred when I realised that Baxtar would probably just eat Vigil (The whole fantasy dragons and princesses thing! Why did they only eat priincesses?) Then I went to pick up Angie from London and a tube train naturally suggested itself!

Well I don't think Creature would swallow Vigil whole, unless he can do that whole snake-unhitching-lower-jaw-thing... that's a strange mental image... anyway - I don't think he'll have this problem! I hope they do fight - Like Baxtar, Creature is another 3 AFL veteran who Vigil has never encountered before.

Thanks for the detailed comments and the :+fav:! As for the portals - It depends a lot on the picture composition really - sometimes showing the other side makes the picture too busy - especially when the pic is in black and white. Sometimes it's necessary from a storytelling point of view of course - like the train!

hehe, guess it was one of those george carlin moments: "say... this could be very useful if you want to wank a dragon!"
