Gotta admit, I fell off the boat in a bad way. I’m terribly out of practice, but the piece is starting to come together.
A friend showed me how she made some real crisp lines, and all it took was the lasso tool and ‘delete key to really ‘carve’ out the edges.
This is as far as I got before I needed to rest my eyes. I’m happy with the progress, though!
Been a while since I last updated.
School’s back up again and I’ll be posting up the things I’m working on in addition to coursework.
In the meantime I’m working on an illustration project where I turn members of my WoW guild into Scourge Champions, inspired by the new Hearthstone Expansion, Knights of the Frozen Throne.
First up is Mythellion Highbrook’s transformation into an undying champion of the Scourge. In life, he was a studious elf obsessed with unraveling the mysteries of Azeroth’s ley lines. In death, he is driven to consume them. In his bid to satiate his hunger, he lead the Scourge to invade Coldarra, drive the blue dragonflight into extinction, and bath himself in the rampant energies of the ley lines.
He emerges as the Ley Lich, a powerful undead sorcerer. In order to contain his raw power, he has fastened a harness crafted from Coldarra’s floating stones, girded with the black metal of Saronite, and bound in arcane chains.
Holding my own in the office this morning. My usual coworker is out sick and the one who came in tonight in her place left a couple of hours ago after the bulk of the work was done. So I’ve been on my own here since about 4AM and had some time to sketch.
I’m being bad. These are purely from my head when I should be sketching from what I see instead. I guess I just felt like drawing some Warcraft elves. The elves are some of my Warcraft toons. The demon was an antagonist for a story I was developing with a WoW guild. His name is Xel’nastar the Revanchist.
Sketched with a ballpoint pen.
