Description

My entry for the 2006 Blizzard Art Contest...

I wanted to do something fairly dramatic, while keeping to the existing armor and weaponry from the game. I also wanted to poke a bit of fun at the game by giving Nightwind mismatched armor (Stormrage, Dreamwalker, Marshal's Dragonhide legguards...and yes, that's a Yeti Fur Cloak of level 34 fame ).

I don't think that demon exists in the game, but...he was fun and he fits with the warcraft "look", more or less.

I hope you like it! It took me about enough time to have leveled up this character and gotten all this armor to paint it.
...Almost. :)

**I'd like to give a shout-out to my friend Dan who put up with my constant harassment and questions and need of screen shots...and for generally being a walking library of information--WoW related or otherwise. This one's for you, bro!

Angle creates the dramatic look you were reaching towards with this piece. Details on each character are quite strong, especially the demons' horns and veins on fingers (including knucle details); Nightwinds' fur coat ripples and sways pretty realistically and electric orb forming with in his hands is well rendered too. Grass covered areas vary depending on if they are in light or in shadow, but this makes grass in light seem trappled. Area left of twisted tree seems quite flat or overly dark, a smoother transition into darkness could reduce that feeling. Tree behind Nightwind could have ahint of light on shadowed area on left side of it's trunk.

Dynamic image, I like it!

Great lighting and perspective.
Everything (including the trees) are rendered nicely altough
a bit too clean. Could use some textures here and there.
The abdomen are a bit too small IMO

Great work:)

Ah, but let's face it, mismatched armour is FAR more realistic anyway. Well done :)

Great comp.and colours. I do agree with Wallace about more textures needed.
Love the way you have painted the lighting on the demons horn.
