Description "No, the true question is... are YOU prepared?"

----

I really want to post this at its full resolution, because all the details I put into the shading, but... that would be way too large.

Lines by the wonderfully talented Sayda, of her spellscale character; you can read up on Arda (and see Sayda's own colored version of these same lines!! *3*) here! It's some neat character design, so ... I suggest you head over there for it!

Click here if for the original lines! X3

Squares? XD!! Butbutbut. Yea, ok, maybe it is the squares. XD!

Yea, water IS hard. @@ Sometimes I have to redo the surface like... three times before I'm happy with what I've got, lol. XD The good thing about using water in a picture, though, is that you can use it to do so many different things to fix up the composition and lighting. I always feel kind of cheap, using it. Like I'm cheating. @@

Water is all about reflections. Add reflections over something that looks like a sheet and it's gonna look like water. Oh, yeah, don't forget the ripples. Other than that just go and check my gallery, I REALLY DO SUCK. XD

hi again
i just wanted u to know that i'm half way there to be able to create brushes... so i would like your permission to take that spellasting pyro blu fire effect and turn it into a brush or two ..

kheleksul In reply to neronin [2007-07-04 12:40:28 +0000 UTC]

I hate to say it, but... No, I'd prefer if you didn't take the blue fire and make it a custom brush. For one, the fire is formed in an unnatural shape, simply so that it can fill up the composition in a nice way. Second, this was a collaborative work between me and another artist; while the original lines for the flame-ish things were erased so as not to detract from the magical aura, their general form was not a completely original work of mine. I don't think I even have the right to let someone "take that spellasting pyro blu fire effect and turn it into a brush or two". Lastly, it just doesn't sit right with me. Thanks for asking, Neronin.

its in the new expansion (Burning Crusade- sry its taken so long to respond). the, for lack of better word, bad guy jumps in the air, spreads his wings (he's like half-demon), and yells "YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!" he makes an excellent villian. his name is Illidan the Betrayer.

I've played WCIII so I know about Illidan, but I really don't want to get sucked in by WoW. XD! Honestly, though, I can't help but feel bad for Illidan. :< He's just... not perfect.

Oh wait, holy crap, he LIVES? What about what Arthas did to him at the end of Frozen Throne? O______O

my friend told me about it...it has something to do with vector tools in photoshop but he hasn't master it yet...there are tutorials on the net and i believe that the creators of the brushes wont mind to satisfy your curiosity if you politely kiss their ass firs
btw u can find a lot of excellent brushes here on deviant just type brushes into the search area of the page and voila here they come

if u wont to check out how the coloring with over usage of brushes look lilke drop by my site occasionally.
