"Two for the price of one!"

In this piece I opted for a point of view from below to make the Draeni more powerful looking and imposing. The titlted horizon line adds drama whilst reinforcing the narrative flow, created by the lightning, from left to right.

The mid/foreground elements have an underlying purplish tinge and this helps them to stand out strongly against the contrasting green background. Whilst the colour scheme as a whole gives a slightly sickly and uneasy feeling to the piece.

I usually love your paintings, but I feel this one is lacking somehing.. The Draenei's body and face tell two different stories. She needs more passion, more (e)motion

i am sorry to say but your last 2 works were actually a bit dissapointing... you are such a great artist and your other works are really exceptional. i guess its quite hard to stay fresh on drawing stuff for wow card trading game. it actually kills your imagination because you have to use the armor, landscapes and all other items from the mmorpg. your best works were based on forgotten realm - the biggest and richest universe.
:iconwonderfulwl:
should title as 'when N00b meets Boss ' ...
:icondesdinova84:
Title should be "killing lowbies in HillsbradFoothills"

Nice one, it works, the slight downward angle with her atop, quite the sorceress....

Are you enjoying the WoW cartoony style?
:iconbrendan90:
It's a fine piece of art, but somethign about the Draeni seams kind of stiff. You said that you wanted to make her look powerful, but to make something look powerful you have to make them themself stand powerful. I'm just just not feeling it from her.
