Night Elf - Death Knight by *Ketka. From the suggester: "The motion in this piece is just sublime. I can feel the wind, the speed and the fierce roaring of the beast. Amazing and savage!" ( Suggested by `Atramina and Featured by $aunjuli )

Critique by ~erkenbrant Nov 11, 2009, 8:59:30 PM

As a fan of Night Elves, I must say this got my eyes peeled. Let's see this piece by piece: The seemingly unfinished front paws are seemingly unnoticeable because of the creature's motion: so fluid there. The big tiger's expression seems wild as well, making this piece more appealing. The teeth quite delivers the title of this art, even without the rider, it would be a harbinger of death! And the fur! Oh man, gotta love that fur. It seems manually made yet realistic!

As for the rider: who wouldn't notice the rider? An appealing knight eager to do her things! Her armor is what intrigues me . . . It's as if the armor is a part of her, like, they're glued or such. And pretty much like the tiger, her expression makes me want and not to want this knight.

Everything in this piece is truly magical!

this has to be one of the most realistic pieces I have seen of fan art that is also in action and brings you into the drawing. The fur from the tiger is soo well drawn and every detail of the armor on both the tiger and the Night elf are simply stunning. The Night Elf sword looks soo awesome with its blue glow. I also think the tattered cape fits quite nicely in the artwork. The skulls on the tiger give it such a unique touch to this making me wish they had a death knight tiger in the game.

Holy crap... I'm a hardcore horde fan, and I don't really even like the models of Night Elves in-game that much.. but she's beautiful. This whole drawing is so nicely done. The motion is perfect, right down to her mount's fur. Def. faving this. Awesome job.

Wow! i love the vivid colour! btw, what is wacom intous3?

~EtherealIV Feb 16, 2012 Student General Artist

I myself am a Night Elf huntress, and I think every detail of this picture is phenomenal!! You were able to capture the elegance of the night elf, and the more serious look of the Death Knight. I LOVE the tiger look, and how it incorporates some of the death knight features such as the markings on its armor. Truly amazing!! You should be proud.
