+++ PRINTS INFORMATIONS +++

Once the Ranger-General of Silvermoon, Sylvanas Windrunner was murdered by the death knight Arthas and brought back as a creature of undeath. After regaining her free will she rebelled against the Lich King and the Scourge and became the founder of the Forsaken faction of undead, who are allied with the Horde.

Critique by ~ode2sokka Nov 8, 2010, 6:21:27 PM

First of all, I want to say that absolutely love this piece. The details are breath taking, and the play of light and shadow are just fantastic. Its certainly much better than I could ever do.

I only have two fairly minor things I feel the need to point out. The first is her back arm. Though this is likely an illusion from hip placement, it appears that her elbow is bending the wrong way.

The second very small critique-- or opinion rather-- is that the warm sepia tones aren't the direction I would choose for a piece featuring Sylvanas. She is the queen of the undead, and an extremely dark and frightening character herself. The yellow seems exceptionally bright for such a person, and I think a darker color would fit her characterization better. That is likely just my personal preference, though.

Like I said, simply a lovely piece.

What do you think?
