BlizzCon's Art Contest 2015 and my woodcarving

[Deleted]

What do you think, guys, can i join the art contest with my Icon of Shadows, carved from wood?

It's not like- Original Art. It's more like a replica. Intentionally. The sole difference is that the small voodoo doll is a bit higher, but that was the only way for me to carve it from one piece of wood.

looks amazing, well done!

[Pann]

I have no idea whether you can join the contest but it looks great.

[Flutterguy]

Worst comes to worst, I'm sure you can contact them about it when contest information is released.

[Kuja]

Wow! That's so cool D:

K, i'll try when it starts

[ro9ue]

Regardless of whether or not you can enter the contest...that's fucking sick dude!

[snuzzle]

That's awesome! How much would it cost to own something like this? I'm sure it took a very long time to do but I'd love to have one.

[Tziva]

Looks very cool, you should definitely submit it!

[Gourmandise]

It's fantastic! I hope there's a place in the contest for stuff like this.

[Incisus]

These are simply stunning OP.

[angelsdeath]

Looks fantastic! My only criticism would be that it looks too new and clean.

[Traveler Voltin]

That's beautiful. What kind of wood did you use to make this carving?

I used linden for the base, that is 1 whole piece, the tiki masks and the tusks are from a sort of birch.
There are some more pics at my FB profile.

I'm just an ordinary WoW fan, guys. Have a wife, little kid, frikin job Everyone can make that carving, with the right tools, motivation and lots of time...

[Golden Yak]

It's pretty beautiful. I'd submit it for sure - even if it doesn't qualify for some weird reason, it's bound to make people take notice. Certainly deserves to be recognized in a Blizzard Fan Art gallery somewhere.

That is some superb craftsmanship! Are you planning on painting it?

Not right now, no. I'm not so confident as a painter and don't wanna ruin it with bad colours. And this 1 is lacquered alrdy. Maybe a next one. I'm thinking about the Forsaken crest. Or other...we'll see.

No way. This is superb.

Re: painting, your craftsmanship is too doting not to have all the details drawn out for appreciation. Try analogs of pieces to get comfortable with your choices of color and transparency, then go for it.
