Path of Exile Talent Competition

I created 4 versions of the Ghost-lit hideout that tells a story of prolonged use of the atlas, corrupting the appearance on both the hideout and my character as the season progressed.

Character concept art design sheet.Two corrupted alchemists, reshaped by their own attempts to master volatile magic.
Designed for the Path of Exile The Keepers of the Flame.

I'm currently working on an entry for The Last of the Druids expansion. I hope to finish it on time.

Excellent work by everyone, best of luck.

My composed ambient soundtrack of the voices, the sounds and the life of the Cult of the Purple Flame:

Can you hear the flames, the voices, and the sad sounds of crying violins?

(On request I can send you the project files & details of the ableton or davinci resolve projects)

My submission for this years PoE talent competition is an attempt at composing an original music track that could be used for a PoE trailer. It was simply an idea that I ended up expanding, and trying to fit on an "imaginary trailer" in my head. I tried my best to give it a sound that would fit in the PoE universe.

Kamil Orman-Janowski has of course been a huge inspiration as I love his work on PoE. Good luck to all participants, there is so much amazing work in here already!

Also, to follow the spirit from others here, I am of course able to provide any project files, midi, screen recording, etc. of my work.

I wanted to create a hideout like a breach hive. Unfortunately, the game doesn't have enough decorations (especially free ones) to fully satisfy the concept.
Considering it's 90% MTX (decorations that came with the Ghost-lit Graveyard Hideout in the support pack that no longer available), I don't know if it makes sense to share the file. If you need it, let me know.

I like how it came out. I always wanted to draw Atziri like this. Hope you enjoy it.

Here is the most iconic favorite character of poe, the marauder. he is my first character too.

I was going to do a 1 day challenge for this event, but I procrastinated, so is a 3 day+ish challenge now. Here is a fan art of the Marauder in Keepers. I made them like wallpapers, just in case people want it. enjoy :D













here is a artstation link to see some extra vids @_@

Here's my entry, and here is a link to the speedpaint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaGRGgx1C8Q

I looooved the lore bits about Ailith and the Dreamer, so this painting represents Ailith's conflict and agony when finding out the truth, while remaining bound to the Dreamer and their pact.


If I also may add some feedback to these competitions (because I looove these and want them to stay fun):
Spoiler

1. I see a lot of people struggling to share their image here using BBCode, I think it would help both the people who post and the jury who reviews the images if you put a quick tutorial on how to post the images in the announcement message

2. A lot of other artists would probably agree here, but requiring proof of the submission being human made would be great. There's always a lot of suspicion on who is using AI and who isn't, and during the last PoE 2 competition, one of the winners was an almost 1:1 copy of official art. Needless to say, that can feel disheartening to see.
Making it mandatory to show some sort of WIP (Image or video) for any digital submission would be greatly appreciated

3. Big fan of changing it from "fanart" to "talent" competition ^^
