Dat Beta

 The Bone Collector
Random design done after work again, so hard to do personal stuff after painting for the whole day, I will try harder, more pictures in next update =) Partly inspired by Dota2, D3, and my friends always talking about LoL. So I tried making a random hero hehe.

Didn't get into the Diablo3 beta but watching 1080p streams of it is just as fun haha. The game looks amazing so far, the art direction is pretty crazy! Almost 100% sure I'm going to play a Witch Doctor, those masks and the animations..

I also started listening to the Shannara audiobooks. The first book, The Sword of Shannara is really really similar to LotR, down to very fine details. Lets see how the second book goes..stay tuned..

Oh and our company is shipping Xmen Destiny later this month with Activision so check it out if you are interested.

This concludes the nerdiest post I've done haha..probably.

Yeah Ayan I'm on the 3rd book now, Wishsong of Shannara, they are starting to follow a formula lol. The second book was good, on the wiki they say they are making the 2nd book into a movie =0

I remember this one! It looks better than ever, although there's still a couple of compositional things that I think could be cleared up - her cape, smoky stuff meeting the edge of the image at top right still confuses my eye - I wish ther was more room in the composition to allow the design to breath, I think it's still a bit tight. Also, the rendering on the character is SUPERB, but the lighting scheme on her seems totally contrary to what's happening in the BG and so they feel less connected than they could.
I hope you're having fun down there - I miss our chats!

Thanks Jon! I'll keep that in mind next time. I miss our chats too, hope you are doing well!
