Description Well, look what I have found in my brother's room and I have not scanned it by now!

This was his birthday gift artwork from the year 2002! My brother did a user campaign, called "Dawn of Darkness". Beside many well known characters, he invented some new ones (Warcraft World editor).
And this here is my COVER ART for his user campaign.
Enjoy - even if this is now 4 years old!!! ^..^

"Warcraft" is (c) to BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT

Drawing Materials:
Pencil, Ink, Markers, Coloured Pencils (a few computer enhancement on the light effects)

Jeez, great as always. I wish i could use non-digital media like you Why acrylics are so above other paints?

ReptileCynrik In reply to mad-raeh [2006-08-23 16:48:39 +0000 UTC]

Well, thank you very much!

Acrylics are "above" all the other colours, since it is used on the uppest layer of the colours! I know, that sounds weird... well, I use acrylics for the last layer. To make highlights. These colours are JUST SO BRIGHT and shine best!!! That is why acrylics are good.

and lower than them? You use just normal coloured pencils?

ReptileCynrik In reply to mad-raeh [2006-08-24 16:10:47 +0000 UTC]

Well, yes... basically it's normal coloured pencils. I use "Caran dΒ΄Ache" pencils for the soft colours. And EDDINGS are the markers I use!

That looks wery sweet. Great composition! Oh and the decorations around the image rocks But Herisheft is rigt about the lack of expression on some of the characters. And the guy in the centers right hand looks odd.

ReptileCynrik In reply to Blade2642 [2006-08-22 06:52:43 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, you're both right. Over the last years, I hopefully menaged to enhance my "expression" a little. THanks for the comment!

Herisheft [2006-08-16 21:36:40 +0000 UTC]

overally i like it...except of the faces... and guy in the middle is out of proprtion and guy on the right looks like Xevon... besides of that and bordered colour palette it has nice old-school poster feeling and composition which don't makes eyes hurt with this amount of characters placed on one picture

ReptileCynrik In reply to Herisheft [2006-08-17 07:28:19 +0000 UTC]

Guy on the right IS Xevon!!!!!!!!!! Very good. My bro created a story, where Xevon is a part of that campaign. But you are right: Style of faces is 4 years old!
Thank you very much for this awesome comment!!! So, I did chose a composition which fits to this amount of characters? Thankies! ^..^ *smile* Well, was inspired by "INDIANA JONES" covers... heehehe. *snuggle*

An awsome piece of art even though I hate warcraft (no place to fit in genuine 3D stragedy thinking) but that doesn't matter. I hope your next work of art Too be posted is just as good.

Its certianlly impressive piece of work. There nothing to really to hate on it. I cant say I'm a big fan of the Warcraft games though, and ive only played the first two. But you cant go wrong with this one. Not at all.

Gwaaah... guess, I forgot him! Naah, it is this way: He was no part of my bro's user campaign. Neither was Arthas (I mean, he used the "human model" of Arthas for his own character though)... but of course, the "Evil Arthas" under command of the Lich King is our enemy here! So is Illidan (hope, this is right.)! Well, I just drew it... dunno the game too well.

Yeah, that is true... and btw: I guess, this artwork was "a few levels ahead" ! It still looks good, though quite overloaded. But that is some cover art, alright.

This looks so great it's awesome!! I'm surprised companies haven't come all the way to Germany begging you to work for them with box art and what not. x3 that'd be awesome buying a product with your name on it somewhere. AMAZING. Swear to god I think this is better then the box art for Warcraft from their hired artists. >..> I can't seem to find an error no matter how hard I zoom into it Keep it up
