Artist's Comments

Originally intended it to be a conceptual piece of the worm-like creature (Conqueror Worm) in the back ground of "Pestilence II"...but I had a change of heart in the end and this is what it resulted in.

I'm trying to take more of my art further then just conceptual designs and rather making it more completed and planned out. Hopefully this picture is one step forward in that direction.

Conceptually, I wanted to give Pestilence atleast one heavy unit amidst all the other more status-effective units. I based it on some Egyptian inspirations (which also goes for Pestilence's overall theme) whilst at the same time, combining the deformation and afflictions that they all bear.

Hope you all enjoy!

:omg: This one is awesome....
I love how you made the creature... surrounding the two people, the frame with the Symbol of Pestilence... The Egyptian theme fits well on Pestilence, since that civilization suffered a good amount of plages lol!:lol: The shading is perfect, the outfit has style and I love those obeliks, mmmm... That Pestilence unit is on Egypt in this very moment? :+fav: Because this piece has something that enchants me, keep it up!:hug:

Bliksem! Great work Matt, great attention to detail and shading as usual. I like all the Egyptian elements in this. Really like how you did the face, it looks really menacing. Putting the people in there is a nice touch, it makes you realize how huge this thing is. The frame rounds the picture off nicely.

I can see all the hard work that went into this, very nice.

Ehehe..thanks for such an enthusiastic comment Zephind!
Yeh...I did want to place it in an Egyptianesque setting, but not so much so that there are pyramids and the lot...I tried to change the obelisks a bit too, just for design sake.

Thanks again!

Ikkiiiiit!
Thanks alot for the comment man and for all the great compliments! I'm glad that it turned out more popular than I imagined. Its been ages since the last one, and with all the crap happening, I was worried that the picture would suffer!

i love how the hue and saturation options can enhance a picture like this, the face is astounding as per usual, great job! it kind of makes me curious if those people are there as worshippers, or sacrifices, i guess thats left to the person looking at the picture.
nice, i was wondering when id see another of your masterpeices!
