Wings of Fire

This picture travels in tandem with "Baby, I'm On Fire" [link] and both were born out of the usual whine as of late, that I have no true fire characters. Now, basically you can light anything on fire, and that does not make it a fire elemental. The heat is too much and whatever it is burns. Same goes for the two characters in this pair of images. Mewblade (pictured here) has the fun element of titanium that basically ignites under bizarre conditions. Literally the only metal that burns in air. So if she has her "Steel Wing" and "Metal Claws" out, along with her blades, instant light show. Now Vicebane (pictured in the other image) can, and sometimes does light things on fire because of chemical reaction. Granted, he would never wear the flames himself. Done it once, and it nearly killed him. In this case I picked boric acid as the ignitor, since green is a great color and wonderful contrast to him.

I was very hesitant for posting these images following the picture that is before them. It feels disrespectful, but honestly, these ideas came first. The fire was actually dead simple this time, and my only real complaint is that as one image, it looks dreadful. Happy to have pictures named after Eurobeat tracks. Can't have those songs without the words "Fire", "Baby", or "Love" in them.
I love Mewblade's color combination. Orange and purple makes pretty combinations. Sort of like sunsets. (And yes, I'm aware of the issue with the wings involving scale/medium differences/lack of realism.)
