New Challengers

I'm really glad to have finished this one after weeks of sleeping too little and sinking too many hours into it. Although it didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted because of perspective issues and other elements, this was extremely challenging, fun and satisfying - It's also the first time I took a painting from start to completion entirely in Photoshop(instead of using SAI). Definitely learnt a lot... Also, I can finally get back to actually playing the game, so yay! 
The idea is basically to have 5 of my favourite characters entering the Nexus and facing off with 5 heroes who are already inside the game in an all too familiar place, one I hope will be a battleground in HotS someday! I tried my best to mix up the hero interaction, leaving no direct interaction between heroes of same universes. Hope you like it!
(I had a little bit of conflict whether to make Fenix's eyes blue or orange, but I went with orange as I wanted to capture his Starcraft 1 feel.)
Bonus WIP - I originally intended for Garrosh to be inside: i.imgur.com/wQK3fMb.png
New Heroes are: Fenix, Valeera, Malthael, Grom and Necromancer
Support/like me on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, it means a lot to me. Thank you!

Wow. There's so much to see in this picture. I personally like the composition - it's away from the standard battle scene layout which has become a little cliché. Even the miniscule details are well drawn.
I know how you feel though: I can firmly say that battle scenes are some of the most mentally taxing things I've done, apart from maybe exams.

Took long enough, but process is here!
I started taking digital art seriously about a year ago. Previously I just doodled very occasionally on and off for about a year. Last december I enrolled in a 1-year digital art program conducted by 3dsense media school, and I'm currently still in education. I also self-read a lot and patron different artists to learn from that. I hope that was helpful and feel free to ask more!
