Hey guys, First post here. Decided to get my work out. been doing a lot of lurking. time to be a part of the community. This is my entry to the Blizz art competition. I tried to capture the feel of act V from Diablo 2. (sorry about the file size. I keep forgetting to compress it)
All of the paladin and the set have been detailed and sculpted in Z-Brush
Heres the head in Z-Brush
The head close up rendered, (I didn’t bother cleaning it up cus sadly it’s hard to see in the final.)
and an ealrier render with a 3 point light setup that I was testing with
Really cool stuff there.
My only critique to the piece would be that it feels a bit busy as the floaties and background make it a bit hard to read.
Appart from that, its a great job man.
I really like the lighting and modd of it.
JK.
Brings back memories! The models are really nice–great details. A little more atmosphere in the background might have helped focus the final image but still great job. 
Welcome in the addiction 
You’re character is outstanding. For critique, the environment is too distracting and you’re monster is too bright, he’s showing too much. Fantastic work, please continue and if you have the time, I would love some insight towards you’re color process on the Knight, it’s so clear.
Fantastic work on the texture, cloth folds and pose, in particular. Glad you de-lurked.
awsome, totaly puts the viewer in the feel of the battle, 5 stars.
Wow… I can feel how tense the scene is …really cool…
Thanks for the responses guys.
Skuby: I totally agree, it was one of the things that ended up rather rushed due to the fast approaching deadline. The Palladin ended up sucking up soo much time the overseer and set had to be done very quickly. I would have like more time with all of that. but such is the deadline. at least it forced me to get something done 
good luck man.
great scene but one thing that is wrong with the scene is that the Palladin
is more of african descent in your scene when the actual palladin is of latin
