New Showcase Banner!

MoP

We figured it was high time the site got a new banner to add to the rotation of awesome artwork up there.

Since the balance seems somewhat tipped towards environment work at the moment, FirstKeeper has timed her latest artwork perfectly, with a lovely stylish rendition of Blizzard's "Sylvanas Windrunner" character from Warcraft 3.

So, from today onwards, you'll see a beautiful night elf appearing at random on top of your favourite black 'n' green internet dwelling.

 

Hand-crafted

We all know that, at the end of the day, great art trumps any technical shenanigans, and what better way to prove it than to make a nice low-poly model with a clean and colourful hand-painted texture.

She even put together a turnaround video here on Vimeo. Beautiful!

Cool, good choice for a new banner.
Though I have to be honest, I'd have liked about 3 times as many banners by now, lots of good art just gets passed up for the banner...
