Description
#100It's been a while since I've done fanart. I usually don't do fanart because I'm not fanatical? Haha.
My friend told me I should enter this one SC2 art competition. I was resistant at first, but he used the "you could use more practice" argument on me and it was super effective!
I thought I'd test out my patience this time. Usually I slap down all my stuff in one sitting, but I took some time on this one, about 15 hours over 3 days. I think, quality-wise, this is a pretty big leap from my previous works. Now all I have to do is improve on it.
So here's a Starcraft 2 Spectre slashing at a Ghost with some sort of psi-charged kukri. SC2 is pretty damn fun, except I feel guilty when I play because the time could have been put into art. Got the best of both worlds this time, I guess!
PS4, many small studies done before painting but no direct refs.
I forgot, thanks , and for their insights and criticisms along the way.
---------------------------------------------------------
Can't bear to look at my previous works now.

Edit: DD, wow. I'm honored; thanks everyone! Let's all keep producing and improving.

It had been my intention to use this piece to write a process/walkthrough, and here it is:

This I believe is the most amazing picture of starcraft or of anything I loved, ever. I Love it so Much, I made it my wallpaper !...though it was too Virtical, I fixed it up with a border and a background around it XD, Looks pretty Good too
. I'd upload it... But Since I dident actually make the best part of it, I don't think I would feel right about it :<. at least unless I had your permission first

Phenomenal composition and lines of action. This is definitely some of the best fan art I've seen for Starcraft and any other game for that matter.
This is how it should be done.

Oh snap! This is pretty damn awesome man! However i'm concerned about on thing... Its really cool stuff and it would be really awesome if you'd win but when you submit your entry to blizz i believe there is a thingy that says: "By submitting this artwork I am granting licensing rights to Blizzard Entertainment, and will not display, post, or share it until after the winners have been announced on October 22, 2010"
Please don't misunderstand me it's not because of some sort of sinister jealousness or whatever. It's just it would really suck if you'd lose because of some silly rule that only paranoid people like myself look up
Cheers and rock on.
