The Student Has Become the Master (Fantasy Month WIP) (Patreon)

Hello!

Pose updates are here and let's start with Arthas!  I definitely think he's one of the memorable villains because his journey in becoming the Lich King is compelling and relatable.  He started off as a promising paladin but to stop a plague of undeath, he resorted to more extreme measures, going full Ahab and eventually taking up the cursed runeblade Frostmourne.  This led to a further path of vile deeds and he eventually became the very thing that he sought to destroy.  One of his most infamous moments is when he confronts his old mentor Uther the Lightbringer and callously slays him to retrieve a special urn. It was a really memorable sequence and whoever wrote that dialogue exchange between Arthas and Uther about said urn deserved a raise.

So yes, a great villain that deserves to be remembered in this barren landscape of neutered antagonists.  In my book, he's statistically more successful than Horus and Darth Vader combined since he ended up killing his father and his mentor in combat.  I also think the pointing pose works pretty well with this type of character, since the Lich King is supposed to be able to command the entire Scourged army.

Got the pose updates for Artorias and Sif as well.  The major takeaway I got back from the last WIP was Artorias wasn't gangly enough so I went ahead and fixed that.  Like Artorias, the Sif pose I found looked pretty cool so I kept it more or less consistent.  I'll include the option to have the sword in his jaw.

Still working on frisky Laurie but her pose is getting there.  I'll probably show her WIP as a public preview alongside Arthas in the next few days.  After that comes the Sci Fi Alternative poll!  If anyone has a suggestion, please add it within the week.  Thanks!
