Beserk Mode Draco

Points to Azureus Please?


nonsense image is nonsense!

and warning... tl;dr ahead |D;


yes... I know there is a lot wrong with this image |D;
but the idea has been floating around for a while now. I had to do SOMETHING about it.
It was bugging me more after talking to Nini [uhm... sorry, I don't know why XD; maybe b/c of reading Arthur's old (and now re-written) past?] on AIM earlier...


Originally there was no blood. but I wanted to splash some red on there to be something that looks close to blood.

and no real shading either |D;
this was suppose to be a quick image... but the "blood", background, and gradient effects ended up taking up more of my time than intended...

his expression isn't as menacing as I'd prefer either =\
but his body has started transforming a little |D; he probably has claws on his fingers and toes that you can't see.


Anyway, the idea is me trying to draw Draco in "beserk mode". Which is something from my originalverse. Where he is pretty much based. Though Draco was created FOR AoH, his species and other things have a basis in my original story.

Mixed Dragon species [a dragon bred with a non-dragon species], or half-breeds, are extremely prone to berserk mode, especially if they do not have a temperament that keeps their temper/emotions in check.
[In my original verse dragon species do not mix well with other many other species. They are especially unstable when half/part-human, as the human part of the species is unable to cope with the Dragon aspects.]
Even if they do, when they get angry or stressed enough they can tend to fall into this state, usually beginning to transform into more of a dragon than before, if not fully transforming into a dragon.
If a half-breed tries to force a complete dragon transformation without proper training or guidance they can end up falling into berserk mode.
Half-Dragons tend to become more feral in berserk mode. Though it can be dependent on their dragon species. A species that is more magical based [like shadow dragons] will not be as feral, as they are naturally depend on spells more than physical attacks.

There is nothing one can really do once someone falls into this state other than wait it out or somehow restrain the person/being until the state passes. But restraining someone in Beserk mode is nearly impossible. They will fight tooth and nail to destroy anything and everything around them.
Depending on their actions they may also put too much stress on their body in this mode through unrestrained physical exertion, or end up using spells that take a great toll on the body with abandon.



pretty sure this is the blood bursh set I used...
