The rules said to summon an elemental construct to defeat the other opponent's construct.

Technically, he was still doing that. Using his construct. Or... what remained of it, at least.

-

This is not my entry for round 1. Gotcha there, didn't I? 

It's a companion image to Aftershock, which is the actual written entry. (I accidentally spent two hours on the image, I don't know why, but here we are now.)

Wondering why our little drakon looks so shiny and fierce? Read the story to find out! ^v^

A big thank you to CrazyShir0 for supplying the basis for the events of the first half - and to Apirka for bringing out that competitive side of Paiko ;)

    Love how this looks! I always finds crystals/ice a huge struggle to portray well, and you did a fantastic job here! Everything feels really textured!

      Thank you! Big Smile I was a bit surprised with how it turned out as well (Dream Brush on the "glow" blending mode does cool things)

      Hoping I'll find it more natural as I do it more, which I expect I will be doing during the OCL heheh--

      Indestructible egg >w< Couldn't have done it without Apirka's wonderful strategy first, thank you for exchanging ideas and information! ^-^

        Hey, I mean, you may be my opponent, but you knowing my ideas doesn't affect either of our personal ability, but not giving you information would be just a dick move. Heart Plus I love sharing ideas.

      Thank you! It took many sketchy drafts... little drakon here forcing me to draw shiny rocks how dare he >< But I'm glad the design came together nicely!

      Serious Paiko? Fighting Paiko? Shiny Paiko? A glimpse of the rare facets of Paiko's hidden personality --

      He talks to rocks. They are his friends. They come to his aid when he needs them Grin

    This is super cool. It's like Pali made armor out of crystals. Totally how I would have gone with an Earth Latent Element ability.

      Thanks Troika! He comes from a world without plants (I guess... cave algae? Wait, but algae are protists. Yeah, no plants) so I imagine his connection with Earth would be on the more mineral-y side, which makes very strong and very shiny protection ^-^
