I really love the awesome Vrykul Mystic design by Ryan Metcalf for Legion. I wanted to do a Hearthstone Variant for fun. I can't wait till the 30th!

Cheers!

Erik, not sure if you've noticed, but you've leveled up. Really kicking new kinds of ass, man!

Made a new brush, just learning how to use it.

FYI, I've updated the rules in the OP to help avoid confusion.

What was this:
Uploaded images must be 1000 pixels or less (wide and/or tall)
Has been changed to this:
Uploaded images must not exceed 1000 pixels in any dimension

Some people thought it meant only one dimension had to be 1000.

If you upload an image to Polycount it has to be under 1000x1000 resolution so it will create an acceptable file size. The uploaded image is re-compressed by our server for security purposes, to scrub metadata, get rid of weird headers, etc. 1000x1000 JPGs end up around 500kb which is an acceptable size for a shared thread.

If you have any feedback on this, don't reply here. Please head over to the WAYWO Usage thread. Thank you!

Demon Inquisitor from World of Warcraft: Legion, rough practise of the new demon species that I found inspiring

pongstah · Sep 2016

An ethereal sword concept.

Existing between the dimensions no one can discern its actual shape and form.

Nice doodles!

Tried out painter:

EricElwell · Oct 2016

Gave Paintstorm Lite for iPad a go. It is much more responsive with the pencil than Adobe Sketch. I'm looking forward to using the full version soon.

I can't seem to produce anything decent for inktober, so I drew some critters out of frustration.

Makkon: Cool stuff! Those designs would fit quite nicely into a Guillermo del Toro movie. Would be interesting to see the rest of their bodies.

Moof: Awesome! One minor critique though is that the pose doesn't really tell me a story, or I just don't get it. Kind of feels like there's something missing. I read it as she is giving someone a sign to come over to her but I'm not sure. The pose is still really nice and flowy though!

Super rough sketch of a vampire for the character design challenge. I'm going for something fantasy/medieval/nordic themed. Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Muzzoid · Oct 2016

Hey All, been a really long time since I've posted anything on here but was somewhat happy with this hellhound sketch from last night so figured I would post.
