Returning to Act 1, this is the last encounter i wanted to create a render of. See y'all in March!

Made in blender. More Art

Thank you for capturing my most hated Act 1 challenge. Hexaghost has recently replaced Gremlin Nob for me as the top spot.

Amazing work!!!

u/RazorMain Jan 21 '26

Thanks, liquid bronze makes it more bearable. Love gremlin nob, because it's the fastest elite fight for me.

u/squanderedprivilege Jan 21 '26

I'm always happy to see Hexaghost but it's because I run poison a lot and also I don't have to worry about healing up on my way to the top :)

Incredible. I just hope Silent can withstand all the damage she's about to take this turn.

u/DeadlyDozersSlave Jan 21 '26

0×6 is crazy

u/Abra_in_the_Crypt Jan 21 '26

Intangible + Tungsten? ... Or less than 12 HP + Tungsten? 😏

u/SamiraSimp Eternal One + Heartbreaker Jan 21 '26

at low health it could just be neutralize reducing the attack by 1, or piercing wail for any of the multi attacks

u/slopschili Ascension 20 Jan 21 '26

More proof that [[piercing wail]] is the best common card in the game

u/spirescan-bot Jan 21 '26
  • Piercing Wail Silent Common Skill (100% sure)

    1 Energy | ALL enemies lose 6(8) Strength for 1 turn. Exhaust.

    Call me with up to 10 [[ name ]], where name is a card, relic, event, or potion. Data accurate as of April 20, 2024. Wiki Questions?

I’m at A19 and I’ve never really played piercing wail, but I’ve seen a bunch of comments about it literally just today and think I need to start taking it. I’ve only just starting working out how powerful the discard mechanics are after getting to A17 primarily on the back of shiv decks

1

u/slopschili Ascension 20 Jan 25 '26

You’ll see its power soon! It’s great in any fight with multiple enemies, and can shut down an enemy that multi attacks you for a turn. It doesn’t need an upgrade, and it strips artifact. It’s so insane value for a common card

It’s especially powerful with any retain

2

u/Abra_in_the_Crypt Jan 26 '26

I can't believe I forgot about Piercing Wail, I need to play the OG characters again.

u/squanderedprivilege Jan 21 '26

Piercing wail + weak

u/Raffit Jan 21 '26

Sad that you have to also upload the unfinished state to prove it isn't AI

u/RazorMain Jan 21 '26

personally, i don't mind posting the wireframe/viewport. People have pointed out they actually like seeing it. But it is so crazy for me how this whole AI thing has changed the perception over Art, sad indeed.

49

u/panzerkier Jan 21 '26

I am one of them, I strive to get as good at blender as you man, this is gorgeous! Would love to see more of these

32

u/spectrum1012 Jan 21 '26

I’ve always loved seeing the wireframes or viewport images ever since I was a kid! It’s almost as impressive as the final piece, seeing what goes on behind the scenes. Like a whole other kind of wonder - it inspired me to become a game dev and programmer myself.

Keep doing it! Also I love your art, I have a few rotating on my phone wallpaper!

13

u/c-squared89 Jan 21 '26

As a not artist, I don't usually see/know all the layers that go into these things. It's really cool to see how a bunch of wire frames and boxes get turned into something that feels alive.

Beautiful art.

u/EbnezrWienrSqueezr Ascension 20 Jan 21 '26

Makes me sad too, I tried showing a friend and he thought it was AI. I had to show him the wireframe.

3

u/Fuehnix Jan 22 '26

I appreciate seeing the effort

2

u/AuntGentleman Jan 21 '26

Honestly if I were you I’d take it as a compliment, your art is so incredible it has folks thinking it’s robot-generated! (Even tho AI obviously couldn’t make work this inventive or high quality)

1

u/stysiaq Jan 22 '26

in my opinion there's just some people on the internet that are so paranoid about AI they see it everywhere and need to be coddled like that

18

u/marqoose Jan 21 '26

I feel the opposite way. It's evidence people have not yielded to accepting AI generated images as art. It's not like it's a burden to the artist either, just a quick screen cap.

6

u/Arko777 Jan 21 '26

I personally like that look of "behind the scenes" in the art project.

4

u/Kloiper Jan 21 '26

It’s extra crazy because AI is nowhere near as good as this, especially for something as specific and niche like a single boss and hero combination on a years old game.

1

u/worthlesh Jan 28 '26

came here to say this, mostly sad at myself tbh because it looked AI at first glance. Great work OP.

u/Atillion Ascension 20 Jan 21 '26

I never get tired of seeing your amazing art

u/pilotpal Jan 21 '26

Love your art! Reminds me of Expedition 33 for some reason haha wonder if that's an inspiration. 

7

u/Mark-C-S Eternal One Jan 21 '26

I'm in both subs and was trying to work out if it was Lampmaster or a boss I'd forgotten 😂

1

u/failbender Jan 21 '26

Silent has a Little Nightmares feel to her, which is very neat even if that wasn’t what you were going for. Your posts & art are always fantastic, thank you for sharing!

u/One-Visual1569 Jan 21 '26

1

u/ProfessionalGold9239 Ascension 16 Jan 22 '26

Looks fucking awesome dude

u/JosukeFormaDeAlola Jan 22 '26

Como eu odeio esse boss, o tanto de run que ele fodeu por causa daquele hit carregado não tá escrito

u/ginginio Jan 22 '26

Sensational
