It has truly been a while since I last did any larger-scale photoshopping, but here you go, a Blood Elf portrait:

The 'armor' is very much in phase as is the lighting - I intend to add way way more detail to the armor, necklace, face as well as to the hair.

The image is based on a combination of photo sources, screenshots from WoW and Blizzard's art books (the necklace is from Samwise's concept).

_All_ critique is most welcome as I would, for once, like to finish an image. :)

Thank you!

Updated the shading a bit and am trying out different type golden details. Also got rid of some of the saturation:

very nice work especially the gold details I just think that the way the head joins the neck is off abit and I personally like some of the earlier saturation in the first pic which makes it pop out more.

And a bit more fooling around:

The image is getting more mood with each overpainting, but at the same time it's losing some detail. I think I'll up the resolution soon (currently it's around 900x1900pxls).

Hi marvel,

Nice work, especially the skintones and highlights you have all around. i think the moodiness of the latest installation works well and makes it a lot less flat. my only complaint is with the eyes--it looks like the right eye especially is placed a bit too high?
