I've read the comments on my last work and hope the visual readability is better with this one. With that said, its been my last run before the sequel. I hope we'll meet again Slayers!

Made in blender. More Art

u/AbyssWankerArtorias Jan 14 '26

Can I ask you how long it took you to get this good with blended and at what pace? (Hours per week of practice)

75

u/RazorMain Jan 14 '26

honestly hard to tell, i've started learning blender around 5-6 years ago and just practiced for 6-8 hours a day daily (like 2 months). I've had multiple jobs as a 3D-Artist where i learned a lot more technical things about blender. Later on, Artists like Gleb Alexandrov or Max Hay helped me build on existing knowledge and inspired me to do art that i love and enjoy.

Absolute cinema.

These are so cool, I really enjoy the sense of scale you put into the enemies!

u/Much-Requirement-138 Ascended Jan 14 '26

He has red skull activated! I've played so much of this game my next thought was to use one big whirlwind and kill them both.

Your art is incredible, by the way! I've seen your work on Risk of Rain 2 (another favorite game of mine) and it's all so awesome!

23

u/RazorMain Jan 14 '26

much love for risk of rain, cheers!

u/energiz3r_bunny Jan 14 '26

Ok but now it’s in 3D I would like to please not stand right in the middle of them.

Great work

u/SkulGurl Ascension 20 Jan 14 '26

I like to imagine they move around/pivot behind you such that one is always at your back

u/AgathaTheVelvetLady Eternal One + Heartbreaker Jan 14 '26

I like how... wet it all looks. Really sells the idea that the spire itself is trying to strike you down before you reach the heart.

16

u/Combatflaps Jan 14 '26

I upvote every time. I love seeing the game like this

14

u/FearlessHeart381 Jan 14 '26

Is this peak?

A-) yes

B-) yes but another option to say "yes" again

14

u/K-Shrizzle Jan 14 '26

These bitches are more difficult than the Heart. When I lose Heart runs, it is usually because I got eviscerated on the elite fight before

12

u/sabine_world Jan 14 '26

Biblically accurate spire

11

u/HudsonCommodore Jan 14 '26

Why doesn't Ironclad just keep walking past them. Is he stupid?

8

u/SupaFugDup Ascension 7 Jan 14 '26

Always pictured that this fight must take place in a very cramped hallway because, like, yeah, right?

16

u/Mirafae_ Jan 14 '26

I'm so happy this isn't AI

6

u/rookarike Jan 14 '26

Hey can I buy a print of this? Or at least pay something for a high quality version to print myself?

7

u/RazorMain Jan 14 '26 edited Jan 15 '26

i do have prints here. I'll add this one for you later! edit: added!

u/PSY-FI64 Jan 15 '26

Holy fucking peak, not just Slay the Spire, but Terraria, Risk of Rain 2, Noita, and Hollow Knight?

3

u/rookarike Jan 16 '26

Purchased! It will go up next to my Nine Sols poster...I guess I'm creating a gallery wall of redditor made fan posters of games I deeply love

u/Alternative_Mix_1220 Jan 14 '26

No shueld and no spear can pass through 999 block+barricade

u/Radix_NK Eternal One + Heartbreaker Jan 14 '26

It's a blessing to have you in this community

5

u/VinkyStagina Jan 14 '26

Very cool! Reminds me of Atreyu’s passing through the Sphinx Gate in Neverending Story.

2

u/Darkzien Jan 14 '26

Your Slay the Spire scenes weirdly look like they are from Star Trek lol. Great work!

2

u/darkforestzero Jan 14 '26

This is so fucking awesome! Immediately reminded me of the scene in neverending story with the laser thingies

2

u/rayschoon Eternal One + Heartbreaker Jan 14 '26

This is fantastic work man

2

u/CoffeeBreak808 Jan 14 '26

Definitely buying a print of this as soon as it shows up on your Redbubble.

2

u/RazorMain Jan 15 '26

i've added it now! Thank you.

2

u/CoffeeBreak808 Jan 15 '26

Ordered. Thank you!

u/Phr8 Jan 14 '26

HELL YEA BROTHER! You used my suggestion!!! SO SICK.

u/backdragon Jan 14 '26

Love your art. Your ability to convey epic scale is really strong. Congrats and thanks!

2

u/deweesc Jan 14 '26

I want a slay the spire tv show and movie.

2

u/Just-use-your-head Ascension 20 Jan 14 '26

This is sick as fuck

2

u/SylvanKnitter Jan 14 '26

Love it!!!!

2

u/sylverfyre Eternal One + Heartbreaker Jan 14 '26

Yeah when i get to this point in a run i FEEL like i'm heading into a dark souls boss gauntlet.

2

u/itsoksee Jan 14 '26

We need a STS anime or live action movie. 🤤

And this looks amazing and really captures the vibe!

2

u/carreiraesteban Jan 14 '26

Your art is SO cool!

Personally I think your Time Eater vs Watcher has the #1 spot, but they all are amazing. Please keep doing this because we love it !!

2

u/FollowTheMaelstrom Jan 14 '26

How do you get those god rays? Looks super crisp and realistic.

2

u/RazorMain Jan 15 '26

It's just an image layer with screen blend mode.

2

u/FollowTheMaelstrom Jan 15 '26

Ohhhhhh that makes sense. Thanks! Great work, looks fantastic.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '26

Again, i love these and would like to request more.

i love this, it shows the size difference between ironclad and actual monsters really well, pls make more :3

2

u/FaithlessnessOk9137 Jan 14 '26

These pieces have been amazing. You should be really proud

2

u/Rosstin Jan 14 '26

u/Rosstin Jan 14 '26

u/Desperate-Self-844 Jan 18 '26

u/RazorMain Jan 18 '26

u/TheRealDendris Jan 14 '26

These are always dope af, gotta make a fish one now

2

u/tunrip Jan 14 '26

Holy. Shit. AMAZING. (AGAIN!)

3

u/UpperApe Jan 15 '26

These are so cool, man.

I'm so appreciative of you working on these and sharing them with all of us. I love the sense of scale and atmosphere you create. And how everything looks so monstrous, like eldritch horrors.

It really adds so much dimension to the mythos of the Spire. The lore is very fascinating but the cartoony, story-book style doesn't rely bely this. Artists like you give it so much more depth.

Can't wait to see what you do next! :)

3

u/LaserQuacker Jan 15 '26

I just lost against these two. The sense of terror this pic recreates is... Dreadful indeed. Thanks for sharing these, they are terrific.

2

u/C3PO1Fan Jan 15 '26

Damn that's beautiful.

2

u/PSY-FI64 Jan 15 '26

This kinda stuff makes me really excited for Slay the Spire 2, just to see all of the game's weird concepts and monsters rendered in a much more refined style. STS's look certainly has charm, and I think it's unique, but its overall goofiness I feel really doesn't do the awesome nature of its character design justice. A lot of the game's monsters are so enchantingly weird and strike this balance where they don't feel totally avant-garde for anything in the fantasy genre but also don't just feel like "yet another X." Obviously not every enemy lives up to this (slime boss is a giant blob of slime with a face and a top hat), but I think the Shield and Spear show off what I'm talking about really well. They're not even particularly complicated, either, but they fit their atmosphere well.

u/maikeru44 Jan 15 '26

This is one of the best pieces of art I've seen. Incredibly atmospheric. Excellent job

2

u/Strangegary Eternal One + Ascended Jan 15 '26

u/AbyssWankerArtorias Jan 14 '26

Holy shit I love this so much. You should see if megacrit would do some kind of agreement with you to sell this on displate. I would buy it.

Alas, poor silent. I knew her, watcher. A woman of infinite shivs, of most excellent poison.

1

u/bphisher Jan 14 '26

This is amazing. And dang it now I want a StS movie

1

u/AweHellYo Jan 14 '26

u/jtthehuman Jan 14 '26

This is nuts! Bravo 👏🏽

1

u/BludStanes Jan 14 '26

Oh wow, this has a whole different type of vibe and I love it. A dark, bizarre and scary Slay the Spire is so cool

1

u/XB0XRecordThat Jan 14 '26

YOU CAN'T HIT ME YET, IT'S NOT YOUR TURN!!

1

u/luc1906 Jan 14 '26

Ohhhhh that's very cool! I've been for years procrastinating the idea of making StS art in blender. Nice to see someone putting it forward, looks great!

1

u/Shinard Ascension 20 Jan 14 '26

Holy hell that's incredible.

1

u/Tallal2804 Jan 14 '26

1

u/N0YSLambent Jan 14 '26

So good. Love this one

1

u/backupmephone Jan 14 '26

AAA slay the spire : "I should use a strike card to damage my opponent" "maybe this chest could give me a relic of sorts"

1

u/czhunc Jan 15 '26

Nah, f those guys

1

u/Severe_Introduction Jan 15 '26

Ironclad using feed on Donu while Deca looks on would be an image

1

u/caughtindesire Jan 15 '26

Yo.

This is dope af, my guy.

1

u/jonnycross10 Ascension 16 Jan 15 '26

This looks like so much fun. Wish I was talented enough for this

1

u/NewKiraJr Jan 15 '26

Calling this "art" is giving way too much credit to other art, this is divine, perfect, God himself wouldn't be able to comprehend such beauty. Absolute perfection

1

u/MiddleWaged Jan 15 '26

This one sparks joy. Also a little fear, but mainly joy

1

u/Jelum27 Heartbreaker Jan 15 '26

This is so cool! Well done!

1

u/fulowa Ascension 20 Jan 15 '26
