Wonderful masterpiece i might say.
I've read the books(War of the ancients and The Sundering) some time ago, so i don't actually remember the small details regarding Sargeras.
What i do remember about the encounter is that Broxigar was wielding a huge double edged Axe made by Malfurion(i think) and blessed by Cenarius.
Now what's interesting about this axe is that is made of WOOD. The books describes it to be extremely sharp and light with a "faith glow".
And another thing, although you can interpret the "mounting of corpses" as you like and you can use your artistic touch to represent that however you like, in the book it says that Broxigar was slaying so many demons that at a point he was standing on a mounting of corpses, smiling at the hordes of demons that were coming his way so that part can be represented in many ways.
And i can't tell if you depicted him as a Brown or a green orc. But he was a brown one(the original color of the orcs prior to the Corruption)
All in all it's a masterpiece. That's my 2 cents e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

While the img is based on the scene from the book, some things I end up using the "rule of cool".
And there's also the fact that there are some issues when transporting something from text to an image. It's an interpretation after all, so not everything will be 100% match.
For example, the color I used from this skin is green/brown (it's a color between both). Simply because of contrast. A pure brown skin would make him "merge" with the ground a little, so I had to change his color a bit to "dettach" him from the background.
The "mountain of corpses also had a similar issue. Usually when people imagine a mountain of corpses, they have the classic Frazetta image of a barbarian fighting several enemies and the corpses pilling up on his feet. That image is amazing when you draw it from a down-> top angle. Or even put the "camera" in the same level of the character. Simply because 9/10 times, the background around the character is simply "sky", so you get a clear shot of him. Example: [link]
But try doing the same scene from an "aerial" view (which is the case of my drawing) ..Instead of having one guy standing out in the picture, on top of dozens of enemies, it's going to be a mess of bodies and you wont be able to tell which is which, and the character get lost in something that's not nearly as important as him (a bunch of bodies).
That's why I had to "clear" the ground around him.
As for his axe, I simply made it this way because it looked cooler 
When I think of an image, I usually have the 1.0 image in my head, and while doing it, I have to adapt several details so that the end result is better. Having a "cooler" image, that is 90% accurate, is better than having a 100% accurate image that have several artistic flaws on it.

No, he's Broxigar the Red, the great orc from 10,000 years ago. He is the only mortal who have faced Sargeras personally. His weapon was an axe creatured by Malfurion and blessed the night elf demigod Cenarius.

When death calls, he knocks.
For one must secure his locks.
Otherwise before the clock tocks.
You will be slain by an orc called Brox.

You, sir, have certainly succeed in that!
I can't draw at all, but can't complain about the imagination. However, when I was reading the book, I had difficulties envisioning this fight in sufficiently grand scale and drama. Now I have a visual reference
Once again, thank you and keep up the good work!

I reckon Broxigar stood upon a mountain of corpses, not an actual mountain.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
just like you change or "adapt" things from a book to a movie, you can do the same to an image. It's a description "standing atop a mountain of corpses" .. doesn't necessarily mean he's on top of 500 bodies actually forming a mountain.
I usually take a more realistic approach while making my drawings, so no .. i will not make an orc on top of a mountain made of bodies. While it might sound amazing from a literally point of view, the image looks dumb (unless you are making a poster like conan, that pretty much is that guy standing in a small place, cornered by half a dozen enemies, and several of them laying around him, giving the idea of a "mountain") ...
AND the fact that interpretation is something that vary a lot .. you read A and imagine one thing, i read the same A and imagine something else.
So no, i will NOT make a mountain made of corpses .. the very idea of that in this image looks retarded in my opinion .. doesn't fit the image that i wanted to make (where the focus was BROX and SARGERAS, not 3324897234 bodies at this feet) ... so in MY point of view, in MY interpretation, and above everything else, in MY drawing, i wanted to make several bodies in his PATH, giving the idea that he went killing one after another while making his way to face sargeras.
You are always welcome to make your version ..
Sorry if it sounded rude, but this is the type of comment that i find very dumb. It's like me going to the statue of Davi and saying "wtf man, his hand is huge, and his penis is the size of a peanut".
Wanna criticize the tecnical or even artistic aspect of the image? fire away, i love that .. wanna pick a "detail" and point it out as a flaw? no thanks.

again .. its not a fact, it's an opinion, interpretation. Save yourself the trouble in the future

well, as I had thought: Sargeras kicks ass and has everything to be the last boss of wow.
as always, very rich in design details, an example is the fire that was very well done, the details of the scenario, the armor, skin, etc.. (you were uncertain to make the tail? became less labored, but nothing that takes the attention of the whole which is fantastic).
ps.: people should stop calling Sargeras Diablo.
really great job

in the sundering when brox encounters him after having passed through the portal knaak states that he has a tail, also about broxigar's axe it is stated numerous times during the well of eternity trilogy that he uses a massive two handed doble edged axe. other than that i love this pic having just finished the war of the ancients trilogy

LOVE IT!!! like the tail touch (even though the avatar of Sargeras that Aegwyn fought didnt have one xP) also like the more fire wasteland look apposed to the purple twisting nether look
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SPOILERS for war of the ancients trilogy this next part is pure speculation by me
it could be for many reasons that his avatar in her battle shows no tail, one that is clearly stated in war of the ancients is that malfurion colapsed the portal with sargeras in the middle of the two worlds, it isnt stated anywhere that this killed or injured him however such a catastrophic event would have some kind of repercussions on his body.

your comment confuses me sir xP
trying to get a wrap around how that would effect if he would have a tail or not... (I pride myself in the almost complete knowledge of lore in WoW read pretty much every book, scanned every wiki page and done every quest....)

As a Sargeras fan, I have to say: thank you, thank you, thank you for this. This rendition is nearly exactly as I pictured him, and your skill is breathtaking!

This is amazing art work, and Ironic since I happen to be reading these books right now. As for the tail, I'd keep it, it makes sense.

Pepper, just so you know, Sargeras is not eredar-shaped, he's a titan, therefore normal humanish limbs. :3

Brox is one of the greatest unsung heroes of Azeroth. Just to know his axe lived on is amazing. Also, I saved his ring when I got it as a drop. Hopefully he'll get more attention in the future. Awesome job man! The fire is intense and I love the way you drew his expression. Well done.
