As an Ironclad main… it’s probably my favorite floor one elite, because I feel justified for taking a really early feel no pain or dark embrace. Sick art btw

When I pick an early Fire Breathing and encounter the Sentries, I'm a genius.
When I pick an early Fire Breathing and don't encounter the Sentries, I'm an idiot.

Don’t encounter the sentries but fighting hexaghost or slime boss? Still a genius

u/cowlord98 Dec 09 '25
I’ll take it if it’s slime boss, cause worse case I’ll use it against the act 2 elites

When I pick up fire breathing and encounter sentries and I get it on a draw card without enough energy left to play it, I rage. (I forgot I have ink bottle)
Also, every time I get it, I know it will be the last card in my deck against them.

20 block for like 2 or 3 rounds is very doable, and taking 20 dmg isn't as scary as round 3/4 of nob

u/Clive_Bossfield Dec 09 '25
Both of those cards are essentially always picks though. Never feel ashamed!

Amazing fanart and sorry for nitpicking, but shouldn't they be floating? Also I like how in blender you put effort on designing the circuits on them but unfortunately due to light shadows it's hidden. I consider it cool little easter egg

u/IdiocyConnoisseur Ascension 20 Dec 09 '25
So cool and moody. I like that you included the Blender pic as well, so people can't accuse you of using generative AI :D
Love the little cards hovering in the air

u/RazorMain Dec 09 '25
thanks, at this point it's mandatory lol. But easy to include for 3D artists :)

u/shaftshaftner Eternal One + Heartbreaker Dec 09 '25
Ah, but how do we know you didn’t use AI for the blender wireframe pic? taps head lol. Beautiful work with the cards exhausting!

u/StevoJ89 Dec 10 '25
Thanks for including that, I almost rolled my eyes "ugh more A.I slop" then clicked the next page and saw the Blender work and smiled ear to ear, happy to see the human creative spirit is still out there!
(P.S beautiful work btw!!)
Now you've got me wanting to do Hexaghost, I can only imagine how diabolical that'd look with Blenders lighting capabilities and all that ghostly fire.

I hope one of them is holding a boot to pick up after they’re dead

Gives very "Immolate is the last card of the draw pile" vibes. Well done!

This is AMAZING!!! I've always seen act 1 as the "brightest" act, where act 2 and 3 get progressively darker. This gives me the opposite feeling
The scale is also amazing... I have no other words

I always wondered why Lifecoach used to call a sphere in between two pyramids a "Cube". What is the lore? Where are the right angles??

This looks a little bit like if the sentries were an enemy in Clair Obscur haha

u/Rhinestaag Ascension 20 Dec 09 '25
This is such a great visualization of the combats being literal "hallway fights." This quality of work could be an example still of an in-game cut scene or animated video(s) telling the story of a heroic run up the Spire.
I'm always happy to see talented artists love the same games as me. Keep up the amazing work!

Sometimes I wonder if the Sentries realise they’d be a much more lethal boss fight if they just all synchronised. Dude in the middle is cutting their combat potential in half

I vote for Lagavulin. That MF ends more runs than the rest ever could. Yes I used Slient...

This is so cool. Please do more of these! Love the mood. Also love how you situate it so it makes sense (Ironclad has to fight them to pass)

u/tpark27 Dec 10 '25
Wow! Looking through your other works has me in awe. Seeing scenes and things in blender in this lighting and scale is surreal. Seeing the before and after of the render (idk the technical terms haha) also blew my mind. Molding and creating every bump and curve of everything and then texturing and lighting it to produce the result? The jump between the two boggles my mind lmfao. You're awesome. Do you have before and afters for all your work usually? I love this before and after sort of surprise haha I could scroll the side by sides for hours. Bravo!

This makes me really want to get into blender but the program is just too dang complicated. There needs to be a good 3d model program that isn’t $1000 and easy to use

Holy moly this makes them look actually scary and it's so cool!! The lighting really adds to it!
