totally love it, but also have some constructive feedback: the 3rd step in the progress had a better perspective view / body dimensions that the final result. Wonder what made you decide to go the way you did? ^^

Thanks for the feedback, totally appreciate it.
The reason for it is the typical problem of over-rendering and detailing. Sometimes I forget the bigger picture while working on certain parts of the image. Then, after seeing the image for way too long it seems wrong, so I try to adjust it, and sometimes it just gets worse.
Will try to keep it in mind for next time, but I get carried away so quickly while painting, lol :)

I prefer the sketchy versions 99% of the time too. Oh well. It will get better with more practice I hope.

Thanks for hosting another art contest, GGG! These are always so inspiring :-)

Here's my entry. Tried painting it in GIMP 2.8 as an experiment. It's not Photoshop, but it works quite well.

My favorite so far, love all the details. Good job!

Been trying to learn how to properly composite in Nuke, so did something simple with C4D for the geo animation, Maya for Fume and particle advection, then rendered in Arnold and Krakatoa. Not sure if you only want stills or if video is OK, but I both. And I hope it's OK but I recorded a few seconds of ambient sound from The Coast just for some sound in the video.

The hardest thing about drawing Rigwald, The Wolven King is how little I know about him. He's quite a mysterious chap.

Well... Here it is... Hope you guys enjoy it... Another witch (What a surprise...) casting two of the new skills introduced in the Talisman patch, blade vortex and bladefall. Good luck to all.

Very nicely done! You put my Aylardex to shame xP

Questions:
1) Single or multiple entries per account?
2) When is the deadline? OP reads "2 weeks [from Jan-6]"; I'm assuming Jan-20
