Description Edit: Added spell effects and reduced the pic to a less ridiculous size :'D

It's finally done! 8D

Since I had a lot of other work to do in June, I only started on this a week ago. It's been work non stop XD 14 hours per day these last 2 or 3 days... I don't think I've done anything that crazy before BUT here it is O__O

I knew I wanted Sylvanas and Kerrigan inte picture from the get go, they are absolutely badass characters and two of my faves from their respective universes. I messed around a bit with the third character, I knew I wanted someone from Diablo of course but didn't know who. I tried Azmodan first but there was just no way I could fit him into the picture XD SO I picked Valla the demonhunter instead, and I'm so happy I did! Now it's three badass girls.

I also wanted to cram in environments from each of the games xD it was a challenge to make them look like they belonged together.

Now, I'm going to sleep. A lot. And rest my poor hand, it feels all messed up XD

Wow! You really put a lot of effort in this one. ^^ A job well done! I kind of know the characters and I agree that they look nice and badass.
I like all the details you did and the shading is really good too.

The color scheme and composision is good, but I have to agree withΒ Cardanai Β that their poses is a bit stiff and that they're not interacting with each other.
Some minor details I notice is that some of the hands and fingers look a bit wierd or that Sylvanas is holding the bowstring wrong, but I think it's only me that notice those kind of things. ^^'

Anyway, I'm really impressed with the picture and the work you did. You're growing with each picture you do. But maybe, for your hands sake, you should start earlier in the next contest.

Thank you!! <3 I think colours are turning out to be a strong suit for me.

That said, the overall poses, movement and composition could be improved >__> I totally agree that they look stiff and a bit.. out of place?
I think I'll be experimenting with a more painterly approach next time, the workflow I used for this one was a pretty rigid sketch -> line art -> colour one, which explains why everything is roughly renderend the same

Will definately start earlier next time xD I'll try to be nicer to my body lol!
Thank you for the feedback <3

Great, great job on the details and characters in general, they look awesome. Very impressed that you made it in time too, 14 hours days are no joke!

Some feedback: The character, although great, looks too static. They are posing, not acting or interacting, not with the environment and not with each other. It look more like a collection of miniatures that you can buy then an actual battle. The characters are also the same size and all placed in the middle-ground in the picture, which makes it less intriguing and makes the environment more of a backdrop than anything else. Which is a shame, cause the cliffs and the concept of the background look great! I really like how the glow from the ground reflects on the characters, but perhaps something more in the foreground would help with the focus problem?Β 

Lastly I just want to give an example that summarizes most of what I've talked about:Β phanouart.deviantart.com/art/H…

Thank you! 8D Haha yeah my hand hurts now xD Gotta start pulling less crazy hours.

I also noticed their stiffness after I compared it to the ultra-awesome entries by other artists. Despite the characters moving, there's not much movement in the picture XD
This is definately something I want to improve, and get more of a flow AND depth in my pictures. It could also have helped to add effects (like in the games) for their attacks

Thanks again for the feedback :3
