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 had more trouble betraying Tosh than dropping my weighted companion cube into the disintegrator thing. Really.

Bros before hoes, man. No brainwashed, psychotic little tart in a skin-tight, form-fitting bodysuit is going to change that.

Awesome work! The movement and the postioning of everything keeps bringing my eyes back to the center, and I'd stare at this all day if it didnt make me want to play some more SC2.
