The Late Night Raiders
My raidgroup in World of Warcraft.

I've been with them for awhile now... and early this year [January, 2006] I wanted to work on an image of everyone to sort of give as a gift to everyone for people awesome friends... so this is the final result... TEN months later, and I am finished.
I've been working on this image on-an-off for the first eight months... and started to crank up the work in September...
It contains over 58 characters within the raidgroup... some new... some old... some that has even left the group... but they're still cherished.

This was completely done in Painter 7... the time? I don't even want to think about it...
Each character was done seperately... I did not do the lineart all in one shot... each character was worked on at a time... thats why some of the art looks slightly different from the rest of the image...
And each characters's looks are accurate up to their armor... although not current armor, but from when I worked on that particular character...

A larger-non-compressed version of this image will appear on my website.
I worked long and hard on this image, and I am VERY happy to see it finally done..

Comments are greatly appreciated, but not critiques... They're not needed.

It's so good to finally see this finished, I bet you are finally relieved afterwards! It looks absolutely amazing, especially with your elite glowing effects! >o< I still like that Gnome girl in the right-most corner in the white, violet, and blue!! Hee hee...

Evil pig! ( sorry got tired of saying "holy cow" lol ) Man, now that is one hell of a fanart pic! I remember when I played WoW I was thinking of doing some art of my friends and myself, but never an entire guild! @_@; I'm just amazed that you stuck with it for so long a time! I glad you finished it though. :salute: For the Alliance! =P

Wow, the scale of this is just amazing, Karn! I'm at a loss for what else to say. |3

It's a good thing you're not looking for critique, because I'm not sure I could muster any.

Oh. My. God, woman. That's a whole lot of love for anyone to pour into an image.

Fingersnaps, like whoa.

PLEASE DON'T SAY "THANK YOU", IT'S IMPLIED.... and everytime you say 'thank you' I'm forced to kill a kitten! Do you wanna be the one responsible for making me kill a kitten?!

...

you manage to do the amazing groupshots I only can imagine doing. *_* I can honestly see why this took ages to complete, and that time and effort definately paid off. Seriously, this looks incredible and eye catching.

And i am silly and my eyes went RIGHT to the bear-druid. 9_9;; /nerd

I'm going to echo all the above comments and say this is AMAZING! xD Both the art, and the patience that it had to take to create such a gorgeous piece.
I've got to say that I'm not a huge fan of official WoW art, but your fanart always makes me want to go back to the game.

Excellent doesn't even come close to the praise I want to give this. I admire your determination! I know your raidgroup will adore it. It's so much fun picking out all the different characters. You have to look at it more than once to see everything. Much love for it, chica!
