I commissioned a Black Rose group portrait to feed my hunger for more Noxus content

And I think the results were marvelous! It was somewhat costly (gift to self to celebrate becoming independent) and I spent ages talking to the artist (berylcirclet) about my idea (almost a 50 email chain by now), but the result is lovely:

I know technically Ravenborn LeBlanc and Tyrant Swain are canon-ish but we've no idea where the Bloodlord fits in canon. Still, I adore that skin.

The tiny is there because

Jhin is cool
He was released by shadowy forces aiming to destabilize Ionia ~~(probably Kremlin hackers)~~

EDIT: THIS is the original sketch I sent him versus the finished artwork. Respect your nearby artist.

FTFY

Nicely done.

Congrats on being independent. Don't get addicted to drugs or anything.

Your version is far significant. You should get a refund.

I love LeBlanc's role in lore so much. She's that wickedly smart and intelligent Mage with a ton of magical power, and she is always a few steps ahead of you.

Also Jhin seems like he would get along great with her because deception is what is necessary for a serial killer's mindset.

As for Swain, Vlad and Elise, I'd love to see more of them in connection to the Black Rose. And I wonder if Malzahar or Syndra would fit in there somehow in the organisation.

DJMason88Apr 14, 20173 votes

Syndra would not fit in, she follows her own agenda. I don't think she would like being told to do something. Also, i do not think an Ionian would ever buddy-up with a Noxian. item 3158

Ye you're definetly right, I wasn't thinking it through >_> We definetly don't have enought dark mages!

I really love how they are looking down on Sion and Jhin as pawns.

It came out really nice! You should totally see about getting it printed off as a poster, though. That'd be so neat!

Anway you can get a picture of that poster? I'm a huge Blood Lord fan.

I love the colors in the art. Even in a dark setting/environment the vibrant colors give it a "whimsical" feel.

Downvoters, he is actually right. Execution is ok but not great.

Sraeg2013Apr 13, 20172 votes

A product is worth as much as a customer is willing to pay for it.

OP calls it "marvelous", you don't have to.

TheEdgeOfDestinyApr 14, 20173 votes

It sounds smart until you pay your real money or show it to other people that may have different experience and understanding.

Sraeg2013Apr 14, 20172 votes

You just denied my whole statement.

or show it to other people that may have different experience and understanding.

Which simply means you aren't the target customer.

ElfOfTheDesertApr 14, 20172 votes

Target Customer...lololol...

It's bad. There's not doubt about it. There are far greatest artists out there that could have made something 1000 times better.

Sraeg2013Apr 14, 20172 votes

Don't misjudge my post for acceptance or worse, an opinion.

I'm just stating a fact.

TheEdgeOfDestinyApr 14, 20173 votes

It's not a fact. You intentionally narrowed bounderies so that it would look like rule because you cannot argue with statement that is true by itself. The thing you did is called sophism.

Sraeg2013Apr 15, 20172 votes

Narrowed boundaries of what exactly?

TheEdgeOfDestinyApr 15, 20173 votes

Of all possible assumptions.

Sraeg2013Apr 16, 20172 votes

I'm still waiting for an answer.

TheEdgeOfDestinyApr 16, 20173 votes

You missed a few words in your sentence. You missed "that I would like" at the end.

Sraeg2013Apr 16, 20171 votes

I mean what I write. If there is no "that I would like" there shouldn't and won't be one.

You are unable to identify one "possible assumption" that I allegedly skipped or name "boundaries" that I allegedly narrowed.

I am waiting for an answer.

What you're writing doesn't coincide with your real intents.

I'm using official business terms and you are telling me it's not how it works, then imply you know what I have in mind better than myself.

Shit, I've found myself Freud. Ah, right. He's dead.

ElfOfTheDesertApr 16, 20173 votes

Not a fact at all, LOLOLO.

Oh the judgement of eune, lolol.

Sraeg2013Apr 16, 20172 votes

So you believe that perceived value pricing doesn't exist and that a price of most products is their production cost?

That's what you are saying.

ElfOfTheDesertApr 16, 20173 votes

Yes, because it is. Most things don't have a real "Value" they are only whatever is tacked on to them due to the production cost.

Like these that I have http://imgur.com/a/ktYkg came in a bundle for $20. They are snap apart 3-6 inch plastic figures. If they priced at anything more than that it'd be a clear joke as they shouldn't be more than that.

This is another story http://imgur.com/a/ad7go It's what I find to be a great piece of art that I picked up for $85, and no it clearly doesn't cost anywhere near that. It was only priced at that because I picked it up in an auction, so the price goes up as people bid. The price if it were to be sold regularly should be around $25-30 as it's on a fairly nice piece of poster board and then the type of pens used are a decent quality.

Sraeg2013Apr 16, 20172 votes

It sure seems nice to have your own dream world.

Buuuut I'm a filthy European inferior to our USA overlords.

Ohh the map is like the Medarda Heirloom! I see the Immortal Bastion peeking out at the back. Piltover, Bel'zhun, Stonewall and Nashramae! Awww it's all too good.

Why is Elise there? She's a shadow Isles champ.

TormentulaApr 12, 20177 votes

She's like the bridge between the black rose and the shadow isles.

She's a member of the black rose but later also became a servant of vilemaw. If anything she's more noxus from her origins.

Sraeg2013Apr 13, 20172 votes

Decent, though I feel it would look better, if it was centered. I keep looking to the right trying to find the rest of the art and it's not there.

That and thumbs would be nice (Swain for example has 4 fingers).

PS. Get your money back. The original is much better.

BlitzidiousApr 15, 20172 votes

As a Swain main, it's always heart warming to find some fanart with him in it. Thank you, and well done.

OleandervineApr 17, 20172 votes

I REALLY LOVE LeBlanc in this picture. It makes her look older, and more cunning, and definitely like the plotting witch we all know her to be. Tell this artist that they are absolutely AMAZING!

How much did this cost, if I may ask? I would be interested in getting something like this too one day.

Blood MagicksApr 17, 20171 votes

He initially named his price between $50 and $100 but I ended up paying him $130 because of the time he took. He's awesome.
