I'm not great at drawings to be taken as AI generated but here's my drawing process

ALMOST didn't make it in time, and as usual, I've only got myself to blame for starting late...and for perhaps overdoing it a wee bit with the amount of details....
That being said, it's a pleasure to show you my tribute to one of the absolute coolest skills that came with Crucible League: VAAL ABSOLUTION!


Link for bigger version: Here!

I league started Vaal Absolution, and frankly, it was a blast. It didn't mix very well with the league mechanic (sentinels despawning as the bar reaches "lethal" makes for a slightly panicky playstyle) but it got me into red maps at record speed.

So if you like minions that melt bosses and just looks hecking cool while doing it, then I think you should give this build a try.

Good luck to everyone participating, and may the Forge be kind to your Crucible trees!

Welcome to my forge!

Painted on 50x35cm paper with acrylic paint, scanned in a studio in 6 parts, then combined. Also adjusted the scanned file for fine art printing and reprinted, then photos of both the original painting and the printed result were taken in a photo studio for proof of quality. If you like my work and would like to have a copy, you can find the file ready for printing below with instructions. Hope you like it, and good luck everyone!

You will find 6 files here. First is the scan of the painting that is for viewing on monitors and mobile screens, adjusted to look the same as the original painting looks to the naked eye (This one is my submission). Then photos of the original painting and the printed result, the scan file of the painting which is adjusted for printing, and lastly two work-in-progress photos taken with a phone.



Scan File For Viewing On Monitor/Smartphone (My Submission):



Photo Of The Original Painting:



Photo Of The Printed Example:




Scan File For Fine Art Printing: https://i.lensdump.com/i/kUzi9i.png

Note: This scanned file is specifically adjusted for fine art printing on a Hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl (320gr) paper. This way you can get %95 of the same quality, as can be seen in the example print above. You can also print on similar types of papers having as close characteristics as possible, to make sure the result will be as close as possible. Printing on canvas is not recommended.

Finalizing:



Note: Due to the sunlight's position, the colors of the original painting and the printed result vary slightly here. Please check the photos of them above for the right colors.
