I've did this piece for 150$
But each and every piece is different, I say a price depending on the details and difficulty involved ^^
Let me know if you have any other questions

Actually it could easily be, tho this one lacks a scarf around the neck

Got to love that Raziel guy ^^

kuro-kaitou [2013-04-23 16:45:33 +0000 UTC]

I love the colors and the face you've chosen for him, he looks like a long lost menacing twin of my Necromancer. Quite literally.

Tanathiel In reply to kuro-kaitou [2013-04-24 10:40:32 +0000 UTC]

lol
Well the client gave me his char's screenshots and I managed to make it this way Who knows, maybe that twin of yours just appeared elsewhere

Btw thanks ^^
Actually this one could look like a necromancer too if I take out the greatsword xD

CarmillaPixel [2013-04-20 01:58:00 +0000 UTC]

Awesome! I love the colours and how the light is being picked up from the sword! He looks very menacing, like a member of the nightmare court.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Tanathiel In reply to CarmillaPixel [2013-04-24 10:39:12 +0000 UTC]

Actually I made him a bit closer to look with the Nightmare Court XD since the Mesmer color scheme just screams to get some more menacing feel to it xD And also I think mesmers can get quite dark and menacing with sylvari ^^
Though the original char was dark skinned and black clothing anyways, so it wasnt that much of a personal touch xD
Either way the client loved it so its all good :3

CarmillaPixel In reply to Tanathiel [2013-05-24 20:25:38 +0000 UTC]

It's always satisfying when the customer likes the outcome! I think it's a shame one can't join the darker factions like the nightmare court! It would be a really cool expansion pack or something. ^^

Tanathiel In reply to CarmillaPixel [2013-05-25 15:11:59 +0000 UTC]

Hm... yea, well then the Humans would get the short end of the stick xD Asura have the mad-scientist type Inquest, The Charr have the infamous, fire user Flame Legion, the Norn have the Svaniir (god they look cool :3), sylvari get the quite insane Nightmare Court and humans get... separatists ? oO Normal road-side bandtis most of the time with small-scale crap going on with 'em x) Ok-ok, they are terrorists, but seriously, they lack any flavour or idea

If I'd chose, it would be either Svaniir or Flame Legion :3 Tho, Nightmare court ones looks nice too :3

CarmillaPixel In reply to Tanathiel [2013-05-28 23:11:20 +0000 UTC]

True! Maybe if they did so you could play the bad guys the separatists would become a bit more interesting? No? xD

I do love the Inquest and the Svanir the most, I think!

Of course, they'd never let people pick the opposing faction as the point of the game is to be a 'hero', still, it would be pretty cool. All the opposing factions are effectively terrorists in that they think they are doing the right thing, so one could still be a 'hero', just or the wrong people.
