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:

I've chosen Spectres because they're badass and their guns hurt more on armored units than light which is what Ghosts deals more damage on and the fact their abilities are more useful than those of the Ghosts sry but anyway I really like that picture well detailed keep it up :3

It can be a debate, but truly, Spectres are better than ghosts

This is singlehandedly the best piece of StarCraft II artwork I have seen, and I own the Art Book from the Collector's Edition.
You deserve every bit of praise you have gotten. EPIC work!

Very cool! I love the simple textured background and the colors you chose for this piece. You can feel the movement of the characters through the poses you put them in. Awesome.

the detail on each character is well done, even the backgroud though it doesn't have any detail you have the light coming in from above, the glowing at the bottom, it really gives the scence that both characters are falling down a shaft and possibly into something terrible. Its good to see more stuff on the spectres as well!
