Awesome, may I use this for a custom magic card in the set I'm designing? You'll be credited on the bottom of the card.

Feel free to do so, as long as the card remains totally free to use, and my name is credited as you describe

Wonderful, there is a sense of such power emanating from these two dudes. As seeing them one could swear they're able to hold an entire army by themselves!

What monitor are you using? I am still using a 19" crt, for me the colours and contrast on are great.

Acer P243W 24" HD Widescreen.
I painted this image on my 17" HP Laptop. Probably caused by the different settings.

Hmmm... I like how realistic those helmets look. Like something that may have actually existed, unlike typical fantasy fare.

Shockbolt In reply to Otseis-Ragnarok [2008-08-14 17:04:15 +0000 UTC]

Thanks What I personally dislike myself is armor and weapons like in World of Warcraft for example. Where they look like they equip armor the size of cars. No offence meant to the ones playing WoW, I'm sure it's a fun game

Otseis-Ragnarok In reply to Shockbolt [2008-08-14 19:13:37 +0000 UTC]

Meh, WoW is overrated.
But at least that "car-sized armor" seems realistic.

You know, at first glance, I thought this was an actual photograph of some kind, if not a well done 3D image.

Bravo.
