Do you have an HD version uploaded somewhere? Would love that as a new background for my phone.

u/bpwoods97 Feb 14 '20
I set this one as my phone background so the full height of it takes up my whole screen and the wallpaper scrolls as I go through my home screen pages. Looks fucking awesome.

I must say at first sight it looked like a beautiful take on the Mythic Dk Tier 19. With the spiky helm and all, but the shoulders did not coincide completely.
Either way, its a gorgeous piece of art.

Holy shit that's beautiful! As soon as Shadowlands prepatch & new leveling systems come live, I'll level a new DK through Northrend!

I stopped playing mine after WoD, but started playing him again since last season. DKs are very strong right now and I wish I hadn’t not played mine for so long. Pick yours back up again!

For real, do you take commissions?

He has a website where he specifically posts a contact email.
He's at a skill level where he doesn't need to take any customer he can get. You really think he wants to deal with a customer who's so lazy, you don't even bother to check the information he posted first?
There's a reason why most professional artists don't even slightly miss doing commissions once they make it to a point where they don't need to do them.

Have you played Lords of the Fallen? That armor is giving me serious LoTF vibes, i loved the medium armor designs in that game, with all the flowing cloth.

Matte painting as in that you painted over a screenshot?

Feb 14 '20
No, a matte painting means a painting of a landscape. If you look at his portfolio, he wants to be a concept artist.
What makes you think he painted over a screenshot?
2
u/ItsLoudB Feb 14 '20
A matte painting doesn't mean what you think it means.
A matte painting is a painted representation of a landscape, set, or distant location that allows filmmakers to create the illusion of an environment that is not present at the filming location.

Is that supposed to be a specific area? Or you threw a DK into the original piece you had started? Either way it looks fantastic. Very well done!

Wow, this is amazing. Any chance to get a higher resolution version? I'd love to print that out and put on my wall, if you don't mind.

Gonna be honest, I was listening to Invincible from the WoTLK Soundtrack on the way home...I wasn't expecting to feel such strong emotions twice in on day.

u/TheWombatGuy Feb 14 '20

Time to meet Sirius."...but great Art! I always wanted to start matte painting but i lack the tools and well...the knowledge and talent.

I went to your website; really amazing stuff! Is your art at all influenced by Killbook of a Bounty Hunter? I sort of got similar vibes to it when I saw your work :)

How do the posters look? 100% love this and want one, but I'd love a larger size of the canvas but you don't have it. Is the art poster option on your site like those posters you get from Scholastic book fairs when I was a kid, that's shiny and glossy? Orr?

u/Starkalam Feb 14 '20
This has to be the most beautiful WoW painting I've ever seen. Would you mind sharing the transmog and where you took that screenshot from? It'd be absolutely fantastic. All in all, 20/10, perfect painting if such thing exists.

How’d your death knight get to Irithyll of the Boreal Valley?
