WASP 8 - The Fantasy Art of Heroes V

Wednesday Art Showcase Presents - The Fantasy Art of Heroes V Today's showcase presents the in-game models for heroes in Heroes of Might and Magic V. In general, the heroes in Heroes V are differentiated only by portraits--males and females of a particular faction use the same model.

WASP 4 - The Fantasy Art of Heroes V

Wednesday Art Showcase Presents - The Fantasy Art of Heroes V
Ever since Tolkien (was there fantasy before Tolkien?), orcs have been a mainstay of fantasy as a generic and conveniently not-human-enough adversary. Their biology has been variously cast as fallen elves, pig-men, and even a fungal lifeform that sprouts from spores (WH40K).
