Okay, well let me just hear it from you. Whether or not this is kewl enough.

The Dark Successor (WIP shown bellow)
(Arthas picking up his fathers' crown after "succeeding" him)
Or an epic battle between Arthas and Mal'ganis perhaps?
Arthas, The Fallen King (WIP shown bellow)
(Arthas and a bunch of flashbacks)

anetherond · May 20, 2008

Awesome awesome awesome! Too bad I can't participate... (I am below 18)

ike_ike · May 20, 2008

Could you kind of put more emphasis on Frostmourne itself? The 1st one would be nicer (although more work) if it showed the whole blade.

MagicTux · May 20, 2008

Just an idea because i'm not really good in drawing, but I think an artwork of Arthas picking Frostmourne out of it's base for the first time could be a cool artwork.

Now I let this idea to those who can use it and, of course, draw it.

(I'm really too bad in drawing >.<)

rulerofiron99 · May 20, 2008

ewrt is doing one of those, it owns.

I suggest you do the crown-father-succeeding thing, sounds like it won't get as much attention by lots of drawers, so you stand a better chance.

Kwaliti · May 20, 2008

The Dark Successor hands down!

I want to see it finished, but please, watch on the positioning and proportions, Frostmourne looks so damn small and Arthas looks like he has tiny shoulders under those shoulderplates.

EDIT: Be sure to post pictures of you wielding your Frostmourne replica after the compo

Dr Super Good · May 20, 2008

Archian, I say 3 would probably do the best as it keeps the mystery of what arthras is thinking / doing but can also shows off how powerful he is. Also the flash back images would probably make for a very good finish to the picture with frostmorn being in the center. I highly recomend you try and make atlest frostmourn to glow to show how powerful the sword is.

On a second note, it does not say that arthras can not be equiped with the full lichking armor set, thus maybe some people who are considering entering may want to show arthras holding frostmourn in that.

donut3.5 · May 20, 2008

I like the second one you showed better actually, the first one looked a bit.. cartoonish to fit the dark nature of the circumstances.

NearbyHermit · May 20, 2008

Archian · May 20, 2008

I think I'm gonna go with this one:

Kwaliti · May 20, 2008

Oh, wait, I was talking about the Flashback one xD You switched the orders, but this one looks better than the first one now. ARCHIAN FOR THE NEW LICH KING!

So?
A sword is a beautiful decoration.And I announced several friends of mine,they were astonished to see a geniune Frostmourne as a prize.

And why shouldnt we ,below 18,participate?
What could we do with it,slay our neighbours?

Excuse the off-topicness

Denu · May 21, 2008

Well this is only speculation but perhaps you have to be at least 18 years or older to own a lethal weapon (sords, guns, and the like). But what about with parents consent?

sunwarrior25 · May 21, 2008

I wanted to join, but:

Blizzard Contest Rules said:
Article 2:

The competition is opened to anyone aged 18 or more residing in France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Luxemburg, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Spain, or in Ireland, except Blizzard's personnel and their family, affiliates or business partners.

I don't meet the age, or location requirements... :cry:

Dr Super Good · May 21, 2008

I am sure age can be faked, since as long as you act 18 (looking like one helps), how will they find out? However location I think is a factor that can not be easilly overcome.

Dsg, this contest isnt "just for fun" its got rewards/prizes and to my knowledge weapons (even blunt) have to be owned by people who are over 18 legally.
So if you were to enter and you are underage hoping to get something in return you are an idiot.

Archian, i never knew you drew so lovely, very clean style. I like them both. I cant wait to see them finished, personally i cant decide which concept idea is best.

NearbyHermit · May 21, 2008

The contest is for real,but I cant participate and win a fabulous sword.

Well Blizz might make one for kids below 18.

Pyritie · May 21, 2008

I wouldn't trust a sword to someone under 18.

They aren't responsible enough.

(I wouldn't trust myself with a sword either D: )

I'm Art Director around here. What did you think?

Anyway, I think I might illustrate my version of Arthas' "assistents".

You ARE?

Archian · May 21, 2008

Yes, just because I stay in teh background making future forum theme styles for this f*cking site. Does'nt mean I'm gone

Pyritie · May 21, 2008

Ah yes. The CSS.

CSS is awesome. :> (CSS in general I mean :3)

NearbyHermit · May 21, 2008

Archian,if you win,can we atleast see pics with the sword?

Naw, that's Ralle..
I just tell him which colors to use, and make the buttons, icons, borders, banners etc.

Zack1996 · May 21, 2008

I wish I could enter and win the super duper uber hyper outstanding powerful incredible overwhelmingly sweet blade, but I don't meet the age OR location requirements.

Archian · May 21, 2008

Working on perspective.

ike_ike · May 21, 2008

Dang. I had an idea then I saw the age requirement :hohum:

Who needs Arthas, when Frostmourne rules all?

So then what's the difference between styles and CSS?

Archian, did you noticed that the hands are too large?

It looks kinda strange.

Archian · May 21, 2008

lol, that's intended. Arthas has some big fucking sausage fingers

NearbyHermit · May 21, 2008

Arthas facing the Lich King Arthas,Hammer over Sword,I consider it a great idea!

Archian · May 22, 2008

Better? lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

donut3.5 · May 22, 2008

Maybe you should put 'mourne in front of his leg, I just tried out both positions, and the one holding something in front was definitely more natural.
--donut3.5--

frostwhisper · May 22, 2008

Big no-no to that smile!
Maybe a little closed-mouth smile, but not this. I liked the first expression better.

NearbyHermit · May 22, 2008

A glance is best or a fake smyle.

HappyTauren · May 22, 2008

rules are fucking nacist. -.-

Kwaliti · May 22, 2008

Remove that smile, and add a twisted smile. No open mouth please.

Mamma_Pappa · May 22, 2008

Hope you win ^^
+rep, you pwn

NearbyHermit · May 22, 2008

Anyway,you could add a short smyle or an angerly glance

Pyritie said:

You use CSS to make styles... CSS isn't a style itself...

That is the difference. xD

Nice job so far, red line draw-over ftw. The head looks a little small but that might just be the way I'm looking at it.

NearbyHermit · May 23, 2008

Actually ,when it comes to the head,its perfect,it fits the WoWish part of things.All characters have large shouldered armors and therefore their head is minimised.

intermezzo · May 23, 2008

great concept, but i have to say that you must bring the great power of frostmourne to your artwork, not just stay cold in arthas hand. If you see the Cinematic ending in warcraft III The Frozen Throne when Arthas shattered ice prison of nerzhul with Frostmourne and become the New Lich King, i think that is the best pose for your artwork.
This is just my opinion, no offense. :thumbs_up:

NearbyHermit · May 23, 2008

Hmm if 50.000 participate to this contest,Im sorry Archian you are over matched,there art work surpasses yours

You're missing the point. We're supposed to HELP Sir Archy with constructive crits here so that he will get the best he can do, not tell him how everyone else is better than his.
Emphasis on "the best he can do", as I find submitting a great piece to a contest that I'm proud of is much more satisfying than any prize they could dole out.
--donut3.5--

Archian · May 23, 2008

lol I'm doing this for practice people

And this thread is open for everyone who wants to give it a try

cool_is_i · May 23, 2008

I love art, especially drawing...
Bu im no that good.... i can only copy things inreadibly well.
wish i could at least try, but i heard bout the age limit.

NearbyHermit · May 23, 2008

Ah,this is the major problem of artist

Copycats,can only copy,you should try to make simple drawings,then make complex ones.
