Yeah, it's an old pic anyway xD

So Dusk, how do you see your characters beyond the limits of the wc3 models currently being used? For instance, Vela's wings/helmet/glaive etc... or what kind of weapons would Sozen use if he were modeled from scratch?

For the sake of map-size, Dusk, do not tell him!

If you do, he'll model it and it'll be so epic, that you just can't leave it out. :D

Shit, man, I could go on this vein for hours.. If I were half decent at drawing, I'd have already drawn up concepts for every single hero in DoE and AotZ, since I know exactly what they look like.

Sozen actually uses two short swords in sheaths that jut forward out from his hips, the latches are like belts that wrap around his waist area. Vela's an interesting character to describe, hrm... Let me get back to you on that, the wording is a bit tough for me right now.

This image from MTG, sorry for bad quality, while photoshop does not work I can only so.
But if they to whom that will like I can give on "upgrade".

I think you have something with the third one. Looks lovely and fitting methinks.

I don't like any, no offense, they don't support the vibrant and smooth coloring I've been working with AR to create in DoE.

I have to agree with Dusky there. It seems almost...gothic.

They're also stolen images with a shitty font plastered on top, hardly a work of art.

On anemic royalties images, the biggest suggestion i'd give is to post it in the same size it'll be shown on battle.net. Always keep track of your "original size" image so you can see if it still looks good, if it doesnt have too much detail. Another tip i can give you is to take a screenshot of the loading screen and lobby interfaces and to fit your image in there every now and then while you're working in it, to make sure it wont look off once its actually set in place. I dont know if anyone knows the wounderfull Disciple of the Moon previeuw image Jacinthe made for tob, but eventually they decided not to use it and just to go for the icon becouse it looked so much better when put into context.

I also really dislike the italics on "of", i find it to be extremely disruptive, and i see no reason why "of" should take up so much space. if you look at the wow logo as an example, you'll see that there is no need for "of" to be this dominant. I also think the image is too dark.

The atmosphere the previeuw has is quite sweet though, i think its pretty representative of the map.

Yea, I think what would look sweet is something like this:
DESERT
of
ExilE
except the big D and T would be touching the 2 big E's (scaled appropriately) and there would be a space between the smaller letters, with the of in between the space left between the DeserT and ExilE. Kind of like this, but with your nice touch.

No, the only capital letters should be the D of desert and the E of exile, otherwise people will get mixed feelings of emphasis, which will throw them off course. I really think just ditching the italics and drawing some more light on the scenery would bring out some <3.
