Description EDIT:
I've done a WIP for those who are interested how I did that pixel-art. Just click here.

--

I guess it came out very good for my second character-pixel art

What you are seeing is Arthas the Lichking of the Warcraft-Universe.
In my opinion he is one of the most coolest villains in the fantasy-genre (if not the coolest )

I was working very hard on that one and some things nearly made me crazy (f.e. the fur on the boots and so on).

So, what do you think of Pixel-Arthas?

Hail to the true king!

Oh btw: You may have recognized that he is not wearing is usual armor/shoulderplates. I really like the "big-shoulder"style of World of Warcraft and so I gave him the Dreadnaught-Shoulders which (imho) suit him very well

And another thing: He says "Fullview, or your pain shall be legendary!"
I think he accepts downloading the pic as well cause there is no Fullview-Link

And THAT'S why Blizzard needs to pull back together and make a pixellated Warcraft game. You made Arthas look awesome, and the Tier 3 shoulders you put on him have a great likeness to the originals.

So great job. :B

omg!!
This is incredible! Arthus was my favourite character too
I love how you animated his cape, and how the light reflects of his Frostmourne.
I hope you consider doing more wc3 stuff

thx btw

CookiemagiK In reply to crula [2008-01-23 18:58:31 +0000 UTC]

Well at the time I was thinking about more pixel art like this one... But how about an emote-fight between heroes from wc3?
Would be cool to see an emote version of a Warden blinking around, or a paladin comically healing the enemy just to beat him up some more
.. i dunno, something like that

crula In reply to CookiemagiK [2008-01-23 19:45:14 +0000 UTC]

I planned to do an arthas emote anyway XD (and make a small pixal'ated version of him and frostmourne etc)
I'll see what I can do, but IF I'm making some they will be smaller in size (like my pixelversion of myself ^^)

btw, suggestions / commissions are always welcome, thx cookie
