Artist's commentary
Starcraft 2: Ghost vs Spectre
#100
It's been a while since I've done fanart. I usually don't do fanart because I'm not fanatical? Haha.
My friend told me I should enter this one SC2 art competition. I was resistant at first, but he used the "you could use more practice" argument on me and it was super effective!
I thought I'd test out my patience this time. Usually I slap down all my stuff in one sitting, but I took some time on this one, about 15 hours over 3 days. I think, quality-wise, this is a pretty big leap from my previous works. Now all I have to do is improve on it.
So here's a Starcraft 2 Spectre slashing at a Ghost with some sort of psi-charged kukri. SC2 is pretty damn fun, except I feel guilty when I play because the time could have been put into art. Got the best of both worlds this time, I guess!
PS4, many small studies done before painting but no direct refs.
I forgot, thanks zeo-x, 3xC355 and dasAdam for their insights and criticisms along the way.
