_Tension_

This was my entry for Raps contest over on Y!Gallery. I'm happy to say that it got third place!

I kind of waited/forgot to do this until last minute, so it was done over the course of a couple days. It was slightly rushed, and there are things I wish I could've done better about it. Given more time, I think it would have turned out nicer.

Still though, I put a LOT of work into this. Some notes I'd like to say about it...
Yes, I know that the dagger Salarous (the warlock) is holding is indeed a rogue dagger. It was difficult for me to find a dagger that wasn't completely over-exaggerated and was a lock dagger. I wanted something that still looked relatively dagger-like. Let's just say Salarous got it when it dropped off of Prince and everyone in the raid that could use it either already had it or didn't want it? And anyhow, I don't think Marius is going to care too much about the stats on it, when it's right in his face. XD

ALSO, I know, the dagger should be up against Marius' throat, but I got a bit frustrated plus I was stressed doing this because I was in a hurry. Let's pretend he's trailing the blade down there, or just holding it in front of his face to intimidate.

I tried to get the armor sets as close as possible to how they actually look in-game. I know there are some slight differences but once again, drawing on a time limit! Also the textures that Blizz does on their armor sets are very, well... hard to make out sometimes.

As for the "theme" of this picture... I tried to capture "tension" in the situation, poses, and also their "auras". I took a little bit of artistic liberties there with the glowing red and white of Salarous' and Marius' armor.

I know that with more time, I could have done better, but overall, with the time that I had to work on this, I'm fairly happy with the result.
