Hi there, I'm currently doing artwork for wuxia with a focus on Jin Yong novels. I've been working on an action scene in one of the chapters of DGSD; it was the moment Xiao Feng first encountered Ding Chunqiu and unleashed his triple 18 dragon palms strike on him.
It was a scene that's been indelibly embedded in my mind. I'm just interested in what people's thoughts are who've read that chapter think of my interpretation of that famous incident. Any suggestions on ways it can be improved? My favourite viewpoint is from DCQ's angle, as if the incoming strike is aimed at the viewer. I tried others such as capturing it horizontally but it's just not as impressive. What do you guys think?
I think the merged palm strike was described as an invisible wall of chi, which is going to be tough to replicate visually.

Any feedback is much appreciated.
