umm...yeah...I'm really the guy that painted this...otherwise that would be, um, BAD right...? I've seen what you guys on this board do to plagarists...it ain't pretty.

This one was painted for CGW magazine around E3 last year...You'll see another Aribeth painting this year from Computer Games Mag as well...

Thanks for reading the bit on our games...hope you're enjoing BG. Throne looks like it's going to be a hit too!

Hey! That image appeared in the Star [i think] a few days ago, in the e-biz section.

Keep it right up

Gorgeous, inspirational, niceeeeeee!

Marc, this is awsome, great mood, great subject, great rendering. I can almost feel the breeze. mmmmmm.... I would continue, but I've got to go draw...

I like the armor around the elbow and shoulder, I had a similar idea about the elbow armor, but I abandoned it, because I didn't think it would work, but you've captured it brilliantly. Good job!

Oh my... That's an elf alright. Wow!

I bet she wields that sword very, very carefully for not hurting her wrist to those two dents. Besides that it's a nice design.. wait! Is that a lens flare? Hehe, no it can't be.

Oh, someone already mentioned those spikes but I wonder what would happen if she lifted her left hand straight up... Well, I suppose she has cure light wounds or two memorized all the time!

I was getting all ready to have to let my eyes search for an Elven Paladin (perhaps created out of other shapes like some objects in some Dali paintings, or hidden among a crowd of figures like Where's Waldo?)


I don't mind though how easy she was to spot though, she looks great

Collosimo, I did an article for gamespy back in january that has some step by step info - check out:
http://www.gamespy.com/interviews/january01/aog6/

Thanks for the comments people.

You'all are right about the spikes on the shoulder...but I figure she has to have some grace/dexterity to fight in that stuff anyway...and perhaps the shoulder unit collapses/articulates when she raises her arm...but mostly you're just right...fantasy armor isn't practical...(I won't try something goofy like that again!)
