Thanks! This one took a very long time, I made multiple attempts but was never really happy with it. I found it extremely tricky to get the maximum impact out of the explosive energy release I envisioned... and getting the anatomy of the wings right, I'd never tried painting dragons or bats before at that time...
I also found it tricky to balance the "down" force of the monster with the opposing "up" force of the shot. And the lighting of course. :)
