Description

Aaaah memories. Like most kids I used to play WoW 8 hours every day for a few years. It pretty much lasted until I got caught by DotA and then, by early 2009 was enthralled by Street Fighter 4 and after that I've drifted away from MMO's as a genre. Blizzard has some top-notch artists and great designers so it's not just a little intimidating to do fan art of a character as ...well-covered? as this one.
I stuck to a process this time around which is cool, and except for some minor areas I proceeded according to a plan, doing one thing at a time. I'm usually terrible at that so hence why I need to train.

Next up is Kerrigan!

Sylvanas!! :heart: No nostalgic memories of WoW, but I DO have nostalgic memories of playing Warcraft 3 :meow:

I dig the overall painting, but I'm torn on the bow. I like the idea of the black/shadow stuff, due to Sylvanas being a Banshee, but I kinda feel it would've been better to have a normally rendered bow + hand, could be just me tho! And right now the general lines in the art feel quite static/not a lot of diagonals aside from her bow-wielding arm. Still, great job, the flow of the pose and the colours are fantastic!
