Hi!
I am looking for starcraft II motives to print on a t-shirt and I loved your protoss zealot drawing. I have to say I think it was one of the best drawings i could find, and I dont want to use someone elses work without asking them first.
So I was hoping that it would be ok for you if I use it as print for a shirt? (one t-shirt for personal use)
Love your work anyhow! Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

i am sorry i cant afford to commission ya, but as the best WoW artist i know of, i thought i might tell u an idea i had spontaneously.
simply there are bodies all over the place. horde and alliance. looks as though the alliance managed to win by only 2 greviously wounded warriors who barely survived.
and there is a second wave of horde a second away from running them over.
the two soldiers know they are going to die, but pick up their swords/shields or whatever and stand as best they can. (personally i picture a paladin and rifleman)
that moment i can imagine would be breathtaking.

Aww, you are very kind.
That is actually a pretty cool scene. I like the idea of time playing a role in it, where you can clearly see a progression of past, present, and the impending future. Great drama as well, i think this is a great idea for a illustration. I'm gonna sit with it and when i have time i might come to this to work on. Thanks for your thoughts and ideas.

i mut say the scenes youve created look awsome in the thumbnails but when you go to fullview and you see its a speedpaint its kind of a shame, i was expecting for full detail stuff to blow me away and i was bit disapointed.. not taht i dont like speedpainting, its just i think you can do much more kickass stuff :]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Totally understand what you mean. The goal of my speedpaints is in optics not finished renderings. I do finished stuff everyday at work, so I do these as compositions to keep me loose, fresh, a kid, and without noodling.
If I didn't do this, I wouldn't be enjoying myself, and if I wasn't enjoying myself I believe that energy would be reflected in my work.
Thanks for your comment, got me thinking

yea i see what you mean, and i think also its true...
