Description
woot! it's finally finished.Night elf priest healing in the hills of ashenvale (sort of).
this is the result of

all put together ( [link] ) and colored.
This piece measures 11 x 14 (roughly) and required about 60 hours of work over a months execution, utilization pencil and photoshop. (and some illustrator for inking the body of the priest).
Overall, I'm happy with the piece, particularly the detail of the armor and the visceral appeal of the spellcast. I'm a little surprised at the pose, it's a little stiffer than what i originally intended when i conceptualized this piece, but it is evocative of the beauty of classical poses of antiquity (think kore ).
After completing this project- i can't wait to get to some speed painting and doing some roughs.
Quick shout out to [link] whose artwork i found inspirational for the heal cast.
prints of this piece will be made available soon

I tried to draw her biting her lip, but overall, her face is just too busy with lighting and markings...

sorry if I came off rude there, details are sometimes hard to combine effectively. Like I said though, everything else looks pretty awesome

tis ok. the most "hurtful" aspect of the comment was its accuracy.
I think for those that are lucky enough to get the print, the image is large enough that it makes more sense.

yeah it would probably look better as a print. I has no moneys though ^^

Sweet! I can see it has taken a long time to make, however it is very confusing to look at, I think, because of the sick amount of detail. Perhaps you should have limited the amount of detail, to the places you wish the viewer to look at. (The face and hands on the character, what is in front and in the line of compositioning)
So next time you do a piece of artwork, you don't have to spend that much time on making details at the entire picture. (Unless you of course want to, cuz of joy) It actually gives a cooler feeling. Looking at stuff, where parts of the picture is detailed, and some parts which aren't. It gives a certain depth to the picture.

yep- that's an accurate assessment. One thing I will say is that this thing looks way different when printed out, although a bit darker (unfortunately). But when you print it out, there are tons of little details that you can have fun picking out.

Sweet. I must admit I do have a love to "eagle eye" pictures, where all kinda tiny things are hidden.
I'm sad to hear about the colors. Sometimes that happens. You can always try to pay a visit to a proffesional printing service, and ask them, if they can get it out in the right colors. (It costs a bunch though) When I had to print my portfolio, I tried a three different places, and the results were really different from eachother.

Ack! 
I'm so glad I didn't have to pull an Annie Wilkes to see this finished...
It's absolutely stunning!
(even if teeth don't resize well)

yeah- the whole piece looks better when you can see it at high resolution. I'm dying to see how it looks printed out.

This is lovely!! I love the golden healing swirls and everything. I really like how the gold stands out on the robes.
I'm actually making a cosplay with the robes and needed some reference art as to how it would look (WoW's models all look flat) and your art really makes the robes look fantastic! I'm using your art as a reference!

Holy wow, this turned out so amazingly! I absolutely love it all: The background, the foreground, the moon, the tiny details of the spell...
I'm so glad to see this finished! It was well worth the wait
Ahhh Ashenvale... I am currently levelling a Druid there; I just came upon the Blackfathom Deeps zone: The area below the waterfall reminds me of the entrance- a crumbling temple, fallen into ruin, yet hiding a secret cavern system.

thanks- glad to see your comment
now i need to do that top 10 song list thing you tagged me with...

Wow! Very exciting to see this brought to completion. All those hours of hard work are visible... I love the detail. I find the background fascinating - reminds me of China prints or porcelain.
The only thing I think might be pushed is the spread of value... Some corner of the composition begs to be pushed into the dark dark unknown.
Or maybe that's just the voices calling from the twisted depths of my own mind....
As long as you stay true to your original vision, its brilliant. Thanks for the share!
