She's soaking wet, so I gave her a coat.

I rarely get enough time to actually finish a painting, this one took forever.

I guess her forehead looks like veins are popping out. It's actually her hair, shrinking images down made it look that way.

__________^ my favorite part of the picture

Pretty awesome.

I can't see what she's doing with her right arm, and I don't like much the serious face, but otherwise nice job .

Nevermind those comments about veins poping out, right arms and serious faces... I would like to see them make such a nice picure themselves :P

If only Ascalon/Apprentice's armour actually looked that good.

Wonderful work, I really hope you find the time to do more.

Diablo, any time you feel like doing a tutorial, know that you'll have at least one reader.

Ok I have to say I am truly blown away by what you have done in this piece..

I love the realism especially in the facial features that you bring to the character, I feel like she's telling an intense story of what got her to this point, and would be just as amazing as a portrait shot and nothing else.

But as a whole the paintings emotion is intensified bringing it to a whole new level, the environment meshes so perfectly with the overall feel, and the amazing detail makes me feel like I'm right there with her, down to the mist on my brow

This is definitely a work of art I'd frame in my house several times over

Ya I realized the right arm is kinda funky, it's parallel to the dress that's hanging off her boob so its too camouflaged. If I had time I would've definitely changed it. but thanks for the feedback guys!

And ya, she's really angry. grrrrr

For me, only if they've found a way to add that coat.

That is truly one AMAZING piece of work. Do you happen to have a deviant art so I can see what else you've done? I really love the textures on it as well as the ele's coat.

^ Don't think that'll be a good idea considering the cult that formed around Gale.

Way too many fanboys in this playerbase.

Ehhh. No offense, but the face looks kind of..."boyish"? Idk how to describe it.

I am not nearly as good at drawing/painting and I shouldn't be giving advice or criticism :P

That is truly breathtaking. Is it all digital? Because the close-up looks like it has a canvas texture, but closer examination makes it look like it's digital relief, no?

Awesome piece, can't wait to see more!

Awesome piece, can't wait to see more! Ya its actually all painted digitally, the canvas texture was there from an older version of the drawing that i just quickly used to crop.

Your art rivals that of many game artists. You should seriously considering hopping on with Arena Net's art team. They have some of the best in the industry, and that is amazing stuff.

Diablo - This is probable THE most amazing piece of artwork I have ever seen from a fansite. The style of your artwork is inspirational and truly breathtaking. Not only are the technicalities and details of it amazing (Don't worry about the right arm and forehead thing), but this painting has a mood of such high quality, you would possibly find something similar in a museum. One of the things I love in a piece of art is the motivation to pick up that paintbrush or pencil, and this painting definatly gave me that inspiration. The ideas that were in your head are clearly visible in this painting, the mood, the scene, the character, everything. To sum it all up, GREAT WORK! You have blessed us all with the gift of art.

Hey I know this kinda died down, but I just want to say that this is one of the most awe inspiring pieces of art I've seen, and I don't mean just Guild Wars art either. It's really really good, and I hope you'll post more stuff here.
