'Mine' - Close-Up WoW Art

(Above) Close-Up: This is under 2x2 inches irl, which is why I had to "hint" at detail rather than try to get it all on-model 100%.

I've been incredibly, INCREDIBLY busy over the last few months (okay, last few years, but I digress), and I noticed I hadn't done art in a really, really long time. So, rather than QQ about it, I decided to cut into my "productive" morning hours and whip something up as a surprise for my boyfriend for our anniversary featuring our two in-game characters from World of Warcraft (I'm the NE Druid, he's the NE Death Knight).

I actually did a couple sketches before I found a layout I enjoyed (go go pre-planning!), and from there I did ink line art over the original sketch. I was really proud of myself for not rushing into inking until I had EVERYTHING else nailed down, including the concept for the background.

After that I scanned the line art (since I HAVE been known to entirely screw up the coloring process and enjoy having a backup "just in case"), and then went on to finish the piece in Copic Marker. While I DID use professional quality marker paper, for some reason it scans sort of weird and it killed all the neat little plays of color throughout the piece. Oh well.

The Full-Sized Image (found elsewhere in my gallery) is a little under 8 1/2 by 11.

In any case, enjoy.

My second piece of (polished) WoW Fan-Art ever, yay!
