Skyguard Base Jump

About this image

It's been a while, quite a while actually, but I'm still trying to work on my gliding flight approach, and all this little side-project-to-be-integrated-into-my-dragon-race of mine entails, as often as I can manage to gather enough free time for it.

I might have told about the wing glider flight animations I created for this in the past already. Well, this is one of them, the pose you're in while diving down perpendicular to the ground at full speed.

Don't ask me what I was thinking when I went to go base jumping from the very White-Gold Tower of all places, but yeah, as you can see, I did. Or maybe I wasn't thinking at all? Oh well, let's just blame the crazy Little Dragon for it and call it a day.

Needless to say my gliding flight approach also enabled me to actually "survive" this fall even from this point on downwards, simply by opening the unfoldable/retractable wing pack you can see on my back there, and shooting right across the neighboring district to the Water Front, in best low-altitude-high-velocity soaring fashion.

(Several of the assets and features seen here have since been improved, redone or refashioned as well, as this is actually a rather old and dated shot already I so far just never got around to publish for some reasons. You can look right through some of the LOD meshes of the outer zones, so maybe that's why? Ah, well, doesn't matter.)
