Artist's Comments

TheNebulator experiments with his Dagon'hai Robes at Castle Wars, the "Capture the Flag" equivalent in the game.

This one, wow, this took me so long to finally get around and finish. Finally, after 4 more hours tonight, it is finished. This work easily took me over 10 hours after all the touch-ups and repairs.
This picture is about the size of 4 or 5 of my general pictures. I spent much more time on the background, and included more characters than I usually do.
After building the wall in the background I noticed my inability to draw perspective correctly. It bothered me greatly at the time; which was the initial reason I set this one aside for so long.
This picture finally let me check out those ice effects I practiced with in Frozen. They're not ground breaking effects, but it is a step forward for me and my art.

The text is amusing, :iconomega-nova: came up with the dialogue and the general idea.

For those of you who play RuneScape:
Do you think it would look better if the text was hidden, and I used RuneScape's chatbox at the bottom of the page? I would come up with silly names for each of the characters to display what each is saying.

OMG, see?! You ARE god.

The added spears in front are an incredibly perfect, I would have never thought of that :o

I really like this version (although I haven't seen the other), I think the slow people might have a problem matching up the people with the name's in the chatbox.

P.S. That girl in mithril is TOTALLY checking you out.
:iconnlex:
Lol, well thank you very much.

This is the only version I have. I would simply remove the text and add the chatbox, should I receive enough "votes" who would like the see the chatbox to get the text out of the way.

Perhaps you're right, I appreciate the input.

Naturally one's eyes would be drawn to one so magnificent, hohoho. :P

Once art involves making a mess on the screen and applying a filter I'll be in good shape.

hehe, that's really good, i really like the texture on the ice, i'm gonna be doing a picture soon of my friend's cousin doing ice barrage and i never thought of using texture.. but i dunno whether gimp could do textures, eh well. I think its fine without the chat box tbh, i dont find the text obtrusive at all ;P

I'd reply positively to your appreciation of my thanks for commenting on my art, but that would blatantly show that I'm simply replying to your message to increase the amount of comments this picture receives.

Oh, I guess I just did, ha.
