streakthevalkyrie
For Auto-probes like Streak. Scouting planets can always be full of thrilling adventure and discover. But in the rare instances they discover an unknown world with metal-eating life, it can be a place of terror. Especially if the probe crashes and doesn't have an easy way off the planet in question!
Such seems to be Streaks lot when he encounters a native lifeform among the billowing snows of the northern windswept reaches of this uncharted world!

Another really fantastic image in this series and quite possibly the best depiction of modern Sky you've done to date! You did and excellent job conveying scale and his wings being upswept like that only seems to enhance his size. That neck twisting and curving to the side is excellent and that expression you've put on Sky's face is the perfect blend of piqued curiosity and unsettling primal hunger. That mouth and teeth detail you've put on those open jaws is fantastic and certainly establishes a reminder of the predatory nature of them in their natural habitat, especially for those unfortunate enough to be made of tasty metal. Speaking of that the same praise can be showered on the body and features of Streak here; that's some excellent shading across their torso (fuselage?) showing the definition of the shoulders and ribs and pelvis in this. I also like the shadow Sky is throwing over them which only helps that imposing nature.
I think what really makes this image though is how you managed to blur the snow flying through the scene so well. The mixture of more focused and blurred flakes in various states gives the snow a much more chaotic, wind-strewn feel that expertly captures the feeling of a blizzard constantly whipping snow around in various speeds.
This is probably my favorite image featuring the modern version of Sky to date!
