Hey guys! Long time no see!
Today I've brought you The Bard class! So hot he's starting forest fires! Seriously though, I realize I might have a slight obsession with fire but it seemed so appropriate to use here considering he's a hot guy playing an instrument, and he is KILLIN IT!!!
If that lute had a whammy he would be tearing it up! Anyway.... I really am excited about the bard class.. If I had to put it on a 1- 10 scale of how excited I am to eventually see this class in Pantheon it would be at the top.. Not because I play them mind you, I talk wayyyyy too much to play a bard successfully- too much fingerwork. I do however LOVE LOVE LOVE these guys in a group. They are such an incredibly versitale class and in EQ at least, these guys had FLARE and I mean Super duper awesome fashionable plate clothing and outfits. They are like the beautiful GQ magizine guys with incredibly great fashion sense and they are not afraid to show it off! So here it is in all it's glory and since The art team hasn't made a class symbol for them yet as they are still in talks about it I made one myself!
Anyway I hope you guys like it! Thanks so much to these stock providers for your contributions

It's been too long! But I finally got around to making some more art. Took a little break and worked on my RL cooking craft and starting making Cheese with friends - Super fun- totally reccomend it if you have the time and inclination. I also caught up on some other games like Divinity2, Conan Exiles, and more. Biding my time till Regular Alpha starts - Super excited!
Huge thanks goes out to these lovely people for the stock use:

Not much is known yet of this class, so I made it up as I went. I did however decide to go ahead and make up his epic weapon which I like to call "LifeShatterer" It is a +10 Debuff to all enemies with +15 to all player stats and -30 mana costs to all spells. =) I imagined him a Beastlord at first and realized I was terribly wrong after reading up about the class a little bit. Either way, he looks to be a nice and scary tank to me!

This is my Latest, I hope you guys enjoy it. I really wanted to get the Druid one in first but I can't seem to contact the stock provider for the Druid I really liked so just waiting on that. In the meantime I will keep finding other classes to highlight, or wait for the dev team to send me a group photo to do something awesome with... (hint hint) hehe. Rangers were an awesome class but they didn't get enough love because their dps wasn't up to par with other classes but I really feel like they made up for it by being the best tracker in game.

I thought it would be fun to visualize the summoner, so I gathered up some great stocks on Deviantart and threw them in my magical mixing bowl and wallah! I plan to add some more when I find the right models/backgrounds but for now this one should do.

Thanks :). Now if I can just convince the dev team to send me pics in fantasy costumes I could do something REALLY epic! Chances are though that most of them probably don't have costumes laying around but you know Brad- looking at you- I could make a killer flaming sword Photomanip! Dare ye answer the challenge!
Looks great... when you do brad, don't forget his red scarf!
Shucklighter said:Nice work. Let's have a druid now!
Waiting on approval for the stock provider I like, if it takes too long I might work on another until I hear back from them. =) Some stock providers like to be asked first if you want to use the images off site which is totally understandable. =)

Cool! I hope that's some sort of magic fire that doesn't actually burn the bow :P
Hehehe no, it's my version of the Ranger epic. It has the power to burn all his enemies! hehehe. Plus, Fire makes everything cool!

Nice haha. I agree - fire does make everything more awesome!
Shucklighter said:Nice ranger. Definitely love that it's a cold weather version. Don't see that too much.
Well we will now since Terminus has many types of extreme weather. :). Hehe. I just hope he's got a ' toasty buns' spell somewhere in his arsenal because I hate the cold!!!
Klumpedge said:I know it is a still picture, but I'd swear the ranger is in motion, even in the still. Amazing art. Thoroughly enjoying these.
Thank you very much! I'm very happy to know that you among others are enjoying it! :). It's also keeps me busy while I pine over Pantheon. ;).
Awesome! I've never seen this kind of work before either - they look great! I bet the summoner model is happy you made that!
Alexander said:Awesome! I've never seen this kind of work before either - they look great! I bet the summoner model is happy you made that!
Thank you! It's a different form of art to be sure most commonly seen on book covers, movie posters, and magazines. It's referred to as photomanipulation. I fell in love with it over the years but had no idea what art medium it was for the longest time until I was surfing deviantart one day and found an artwork that was similar in style and since all the art is categorized there I finally had a term for it. :). From there I got photoshop (something I had never used before). And began the learning process in my spare time. The funny thing is, making this type of art always looked kind of simple until you start doing it of course lol. Photo compositions can get complex especially when you're dealing with multiple pictures and blending them is not always the easiest task either.
As as for the model, I'm not sure yet hehe. Some of the models on deviantart aren't as active as they use to be so it might be awhile before she actually sees it, but my hope is that she will like it. :).
