Description My submission to the Blizzcon 2011 Fan Art Competition. This was my first all digital piece, from start to finish all in Adobe Photoshop (CS3, hope I win 2nd 3rd so I can get a copy of CS5 lol) which is something I never tried before; I always did thumbnails in a sketchbook but this piece was conceptualized and completed all on the same digital canvas.

The idea behind it was I wanted to conceptualize a melding of Blizzard universes and showcase WoW, SC2, and Diablo 3 all in a single piece. Originally I approached it with a very different design... but I love Zealot armor, Blood Elves, so why not use both? Her chestpiece is based on the T12 Rogue set but the Zealot power suit is a Silvermoon custom, originally sporting a Spellbreaker-style shield on the left arm. Deathwing's maw is a smoldering wreck to the image's left, I wish I had planned to include him originally, he's a bit hobbled on... but still smoking lol.

Thanks for checking this out, best of luck to all entrants!

A blood elf in a protos armor slaying the lord of terror.... Never knew how much I wanted to see this until I saw it.

I'll probably revisit this at some point, I'm still enamored with the idea but feel I could do such a better job now lol.

Intense content, I wish the camera man stepped back 20-30 feet or so, for a little more context. I don't think that's a typical or fashionable choice lately, but I dunno, there's something about seeing the subject and also the feeling of being there that could come with it.

Thanks, man I agree from a storytelling point of view, I, too, would like to see more of the carnage. I think if I planned it out more and had given myself more room on the deadline I might have come to that same conclusion. Ah well, next time :-D
