    Starcraft 2: Ghost vs Spectre

    #100

    It's been a while since I've done fanart. I usually don't do fanart because I'm not fanatical? Haha.

    My friend told me I should enter this one SC2 art competition. I was resistant at first, but he used the "you could use more practice" argument on me and it was super effective!

    I thought I'd test out my patience this time. Usually I slap down all my stuff in one sitting, but I took some time on this one, about 15 hours over 3 days. I think, quality-wise, this is a pretty big leap from my previous works. Now all I have to do is improve on it.

    So here's a Starcraft 2 Spectre slashing at a Ghost with some sort of psi-charged kukri. SC2 is pretty damn fun, except I feel guilty when I play because the time could have been put into art. Got the best of both worlds this time, I guess!

    PS4, many small studies done before painting but no direct refs.

    I forgot, thanks zeo-x, 3xC355 and dasAdam for their insights and criticisms along the way.

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Can't bear to look at my previous works now.

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Edit: DD, wow. I'm honored; thanks everyone! Let's all keep producing and improving.

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    It had been my intention to use this piece to write a process/walkthrough, and here it is:

    I always chose the Spectres over the Ghosts (nuthin against Nova mind you), it just seemed like a total dick move against Tosh in SCII if I didn't.

    I also go for spectres. The just seem more usefull for me.

    That, and the aforementioned feeling of dick-ness if I chose otherwise.

    Bros before hoes, man. No brainwashed, psychopathic tart in a skin-tight, form-fitting body suit is going to change that.

    Did not like the StarCraft II ghost design much, but this one rocks ass. Oh and I of course chose Tosh. It's partially because unlike Tosh in the English version, the Korean version Tosh is quite polite.

    p.s.) Obviously, the canon choice that Rei... I mean Raynor made was to choose Tosh.
