Wowee! Someone I hadn't seen yet. That redheaded Stormwind Pally is amazing! Looks just like a friend of mine. I'm going to have to shoot a link to the DeviantART version over to her....She'll flip. Amazing work - I love how the portraits aren't static at all.
I like attitude of the Worgen with the The Black Hand and the DK...something about that grin.
I love the smirk on the draenai.. and the beaming smile on the red-haired woman. The illustrations build character. Thank you for sharing :-)
The way she draws faces is just so good. They feel more real compared to most other art.The redhead human is my favourite overall, but the smirk on the Draenei is perfect.
I just love that she is creating for the community, without everyone, blizzard would have given up long ago. What is a game without a community?
I love your style. Very much attention to detail. I really wish i could see what style you apply to tauren characters! Cant wait to have my druid drawn!
I know it's not one of the presented ones, but I love that Sylvanas in the pose of Lin Befong.
Beautiful portraits! They look alive. But the female worgens look amazing, they should look like that in WoW!
the fine details and the colors ,love the realistic look ♥
Love the way Naariel creates faces, the blue eyes on the High Elf with a flower crown are very life-like, I also really love your female undead character.
Those Worgen are just adorable. Doggies in costumes always work!
I really love the shading and lighting style on these. Really looks natural.
Naariel, I have always thought that it's impossible to have realistic shades with so vibrant colous, but you did it - especially on human lady. Please, teach me how to draw! However my favourite is the draenei paladin and that cute void elf. Great moves, keep it up!
I absolutely love Naariels art. It's funny how she talks about trying to portray that special, unique feeling of a character because that's exactly what I see when I look at her drawings. It's not hard to imagine the characters she draws as actual beings with their own thoughts and feelings and backstories.From the selection of drawings shown here, I like the one with the elf and the faerie dragon the best, because it's a very warm scene and yet she's managed to make the elf look a little bit... scary. But her two drawings I love most are the one with the undead rogue in dark blue armor and the one with the human rogue that's smoking a cigarette. They have that same quality - in itself the women portrayed don't look too dangerous, yet somehow you know you shouldn't mess with them :D
Your style is so unique--these portraits have spunk and humor, and look like players would look if they were their WoW avatars. I love them all.
I love the faces, the lighting, the small details! They're so good. The faces and expressions are very realistic. Like, yea, it's obviously a drawing, but they're very natural.
I love the Draenei in Paladin Order Hall gear. It looks very realistic and she captures the glow from the armor very nicely.
Seriously, grow some brain cells before you think Blizzard can't do better. smh
No they do already. :P
