They do look fierce in game, nothing about it in that painting, stop sucking off this artist she is good but not Blizzard good, and I am related to a professional artist. :)
I love the style of this artist. Would love to see what she would do with my Night Elf Rouge.
The lighting! The shadows! The realism, truly truly amazing. I can almost see the drawings move and animate. The pictures are so atmospheric and even though it might be of just one or two characters, there's a whole world and story in them. <3
I appreciate that Naariel likes to add elements of the characters personality, they aren't just stock portraits, they tell a little story about the subject. Also, really love her use of light; all of the characters are radiant! My favorite portrait from the sampling is the rather serious looking elf woman with tattoos toward the end of the article. Good luck, Naariel! You're very talented, I bet you'll get a job with Blizz :)
I am hella biased because I know Naariel is an awesome person and because I might have commissioned her a few times *cough cough* but she is and will always be my artist senpai. Look at the realistic, vivid faces! The noses! The badassery! The hammer that worgen is carrying! THE DKs!Proud to have a ton of her prints on my wall and alsoNaarI love youThanks for being an inspiration dudeI also really wish worgen looked like this ingame
I really love the smoothness of the drawings, how good they look, being realistic but at the same time, so stilish and pretty. The detail levels are really high
I've always loved how Naariel creates the glowing eyes for her characters, especially for elves and draenei.
The details are so realistic I love the life-like expression.
I've always wanted to draw like this but i never have time to train myself.I really like this picture becouse it gives me incentive to make my dream come true
I really like how most of the faces happy / engaged /lively.
The characters are so believable in the real world. Sometimes artists can draw WoW characters too cartoonish but Naariel really captures the "human" element.
I LOVE how all the eyes grab you into the art, the rich colours and shading is just epic <3 My fav is def the Sylvanas and Tyrande painting!
She draws the details on the right places.I like how the females are feminine, but don't have their breasts burst out to the max to 'overly' express their femininen.I'd love to have my main character drawn in this style, it would be an honor! So detailed, colorful and soft, yet realistic with very neat expressions.An artist to my heart.Edit: fixed typo's.
She has a distinctive style.
Those Draenei and Nelves look beautiful.. Considering I have a Nelf and Draenei of my own.. hmm ^^
They are all so awesome. I like them more then all the others I have seen on here. they look more like the world of Warcraft characters. I enjoyed seeing them on here. thank-you for sharing them
Elf with the different eyes, and the elf with the faerie dragon. So amazing! Love the facial expressions especially around the eyes.
Picture on the very bottom right of the collage made me fall in love. ^_^
Naariel is a huge inspiration to me! I love every aspect of her art style-- but what gets me each time is the expressiveness on each characters face, and particularly in the eyes. You really get a sense of the character's personalities through the portraits <3
