The Orc is probably closest to what I was expecting given the inspiration I chose, but even then, it's still a bit less amazing than what I was imagining... Perhaps my expectations were too high? Not sure.
Looking at the reptilian and wraith, these are especially disappointing to me... The wraith is really colorful on one side, and not really at all on the other, which is weird and I don't understand. The reptilian is darker than I was expecting, and more dull, but I guess fits? Neither of them really remind me of the inspiration pictures I sent.
I dunno. I think they're okay, but I was definitely expecting more. Bleh.
Not the best pic, but I'm too sad to take better ones right now. :(
What were your inspirations, if you don't mind me asking?
I think part of my disappointment is I was expecting SO MUCH and I had really high hopes. I looked at a bunch of other deluxe surprises (and normal surprises) on their Tumblr, so I probably unfairly inflated my expectations. It also may have been the images I selected, I don't know...
The orc is probably the least disappointing of the three, and the more I look at the reptilian with the inspiration pic, I can see where they pulled the colors from (although it's still a bit dark, but that may have been my fault in selecting the picture). The Wraith is just... I dunno. The colors are pretty, but the most disappointing out of the bunch for me, and again, that's most likely due to my image selection and expectations? I'm not sure. I wish I had picked something different, and it really bothers me how it's only on one side where most of the color is.
I don't know. I don't know how to feel, since part of me feels like these took a lot of skill and talent and I should be happy and accept that people will be inspired in differetn ways by images, but the other part of me can't help but feel "blah". :(
Inspirations images are under spoiler.
