Description Created through photoshop. All images used are my own. Inspired by the game 'World of Warcraft'.
-------------------------------------------------------------

It's done! I'm so exhausted but I'm proud of it! I actually put all my effort into one image for once!

This is a fanart image of my character ' Piastol' in the game 'World of warcraft', as most of you would probably know. She is kneeling in the grassland to watch her new pet chicken peck in the grass. It's been a long day of hunting cougars and such. She is contemplating but her mind is clouded.

I've been wanting to do this image for a while after I played WoW for a bit. My friend sent me a chicken in-game. Since it was his 21st birthday; I thought I'd get off my butt and complete it before then.

I'm proud of it. My main focus on this image was to bring out the feeling of texture. To do this I used a new trialed method of incorporating photos. It turned out really well.

PS: It's better at full view.

That's amazing, but now I'm confused. Is it an incorporation of edited photos or digitally drawn from scratch? Either way it's still amazing!

The Tauran and the chook are digitally drawn, but the background is made of photoshoped images

Damn, very nice. In the small view I thought it was 3D. The depth you've given to the character is great.

nezbot [2007-05-27 16:54:17 +0000 UTC]

nice work you did, though perhaps the chicken could be in 'the same plain' as the tauren, and perhaps the tauren could be looking down at the chicken instead? but other than that, looks great.

SkylaComics In reply to nezbot [2007-05-28 09:46:26 +0000 UTC]

Thnx for the tips! I was thinking afterwards that the Tauren should be looking at the chicken.

TimmiG [2007-05-15 13:06:19 +0000 UTC]

"Nice chicken" says the Tauren.
Bok-bok goes the chicken
*MUNCH CRUNCH* goes the tauren eating it.
"Aww, it tastes so cute" Says the Tauren, licking its lips.

Nice job

This turned out really well! I love the textured feel to it, I can certainly see the effort that went into it Oh, and I bet you love that pet chook

I would like to see it without that watermark intruding so much... and at a higher resolution, I'm sure there's detail there that's going to waste at 800x600.

And lastly, what server are you on? ^_^

SkylaComics In reply to Rzar [2007-01-13 10:04:40 +0000 UTC]

If you click 'download' to the left and then zoom in you'll get the full resolution which is 1024x768.

Sorry watermark stays.

I'm on Nathrazim, using my brother's account. I've stopped playing now though, because I'm busy.

I have some requests happening at the moment. I would like to do a collab. I will let you know when I am free. I want to make a website for my Bratz artwork too, instead of having them all up on DA.
