My entry for the Blizzcon art contest back in 2005.
The People Have Spoken
Average Score: 9.4 / 10
Almost glad it was cancelled, I didn't want to play a bad game......and it didn't look that good, well Nova sure as hell looked good (haha), but I was talking about gameplay.
Anyways nice pic! Looks like you'd been drawing for 2-3 years at this point, a while ago. Maybe longer, again, shading stance of Nova an the hydra actually looks pretty acurate. Perspective looks kind funky to me. too......
The sexiest ghost in history.
The picture itself is outstanding. She does seem to be in a bit of an awkward positiong though. Only thing that seriously drags it down is that it doesn't have any Protoss. xD (Kidding, that didn't affect my rating)
5/5
9/10
That poor Hydra! What did he ever do?! Spit at you?! D: Psh. People spit on eachother day! They don't get shot. You make my soul cry!
This art is quite creative and is also very artistic. However, she looks as though she is afraid and her gun is in an awkward position. But other than that, this is a great and creative art. Keep up the great work!
Yeah it seems like she is saluting to someone but her gun is in an awkward position for that and there is a dead hydralisk behind her so i assume that is just killed, just have to fix her pose. her legs are a bitch crossed together like shes cowering in fear also
Subject: Pose is awkward - she's standing almost too straight. The rifle doesn't seem to shift her weight at all; how would one hold a weapon that size and weight, at that angle, with only one hand and not bend the wrist? The right arm seems to be forcing in a straight position behind the leg; a slight angle in the elbow would fix that. Legs appear to be locked straight as well, "twinning" the pose; again, how she holds that rifle up with her legs creating that center of balance is beyond me. Wonderfully detailed, but defies the laws of physics.
Background: Seems to have been rushed, but it does relay the dark atmosphere of the environment, which can be difficult to do. The ambient lighting is mostly correct,save for a couple reflections off the rifle where there shouldn't be any. The creature silhouetted against the flames is a nice touch, as is the dead one behind her.
Summary: This is four years old, and you've probably improved since then. But in spite of your attention to detail, there are definite points where this could have been done better. 6/10 and 3/5 from me.
Author's Response:
I appreciate the honesty, and yes I can agree with everything you said : ) Thank you
The lighting is wrong. She looks super-imposed into the background. You should also work on the overall definition of the background. It's sketchy compared to the girl/hydralisk.
i love nova :) its so hot XD! nice work :)
that looks pretty bad ass. Keep going on whatever else you like, you got a good style. Ive always liked a rough sketch type of artwork.
Nice outfit but could use stomach definition and a new hairdo
Poor hydralisk lol. Nice drawing. Really cool =D
You make me wanna play Starcraft with how good this piece looks.
i didnt anyone know the ghost unit or ghost game by blizzard nice work
enough said
Your piece pays close attention to detail and quality without going completely overboard! The colors are well done, and the flames look very lifelike. Very nice, I wish I could have seen the mother-print in person at Blizzcon.
I actually saw this at Blizzcon this year (as in 2009)! It was hanging on this... thing by the line for starcraft 2 (along with many others)
it was easily one of my favorites, good job
You did a great job with the colors and details, captureswhat the game could have been
Very good quality! This work is manga/doujin-worthy... A really like it (personally) because of the anime-styled illustration of a (Starcraft) Terran Ghost... Keep up the good work...
Its friggen great :D 10/10 5/5
this is the best ive seen yet
i could never do this the only ting i can do is draw tattoos
Wow, I love the detail! The colors and design are really awesome too. It does kinda make me think of like a spec ops zero suit samus. Amazing work! The only thing that seems off is her stance, but I still really like it! Congrats on being featured too! :D
Ghost pwnage. Protoss dark templars ftw
iria zeiram the animation...fucking awesome!
those alien they look femilliar(like i seen before )?
i am glade to see that i wasn't the only one waiting for Ghost. very nice picture !
is that a Brude in the back ground. you know brude from marvel.
Author's Response:
haha no it's just another crappily drawn hydra
defenetively worth blizz fan art's a spot, do you do wow fan art too?
like the highlights on the character suit, but, it would look sharpewr if you would add more red highlight on the side lit by the red flashing lights on the background , because they are hard to notice a little bit, also for ambience, the background could use more dark spots, like play with contrast to make it more spooky, that way the zergs in the background look more scary ( even if they are dead) but thats just suggestions, mabie you could experiment a bit with the light/dark contrast and see how best it suits you
Author's Response:
yeah I would definitely make all the changes that you said, but back then I didn't know much about contrast or anything haha, thank you for your review : )
background could use a bit of cleaning up though
Author's Response:
I agree, it's an old piece and I'd like to take another shot at the Starcraft universe soon.
