Oh wow. This looks quite amazing. But to be quite honest, I think a decapitation is too emotionally filled. It shows anger and hate and maybe even pride in keeping the head as a trophy. Arthas had neither of those. At this point Uther was simply an annoying obstacle in his way, holding onto an urn he needed. He could not have cared less for Uther, hence why he didn't raise him in undeath like he did to Sylvanas out of spite, which is why simply stabbing him like a pig was sufficient and the quickest way to carry on his mission. Besides all this, i think these will look absolutely stunning once finished. And some artistic freedom is nothing new, looking at how Sylvanas dashes and slides into Arthas' blade, in that one cinematic. Your art still is more believable than that air-guitar slide with 2 daggers. Could you add the part where his soul get's sucked into the blade too? That is my favorite part of that cinematic

Thanks, mate! And yes, completely understand! There are these thoughts I’ve been having over how ‘abridged’ the story is in the W3 campaign (completely understandable, it’s an RTS). And I couldn’t help but imagine how cool it would be for a series to explore Arthas’s condition a bit more. I was thinking how the influence of Ner’zhul’s power would strip him slowly of emotions of his past life but the transformation wouldn’t be surgically clean. It would be messy and bits and pieces of his humanity would trickle in now and again. And in my mind series canon, Uther isn’t just an obstacle to clear out quickly. He would be a tumour in the back of Arthas’s mind. A fragment of love, home, honour. And Arthas’s would dispatch him in a gruesome way to forcibly remove those feelings of ‘weakness’ towards which he feels rage. I don’t know, maybe I watched too many documentaries with serial killers murdering relatives in gruesome ways just to assert their control over them in death. I initially wanted to illustrate the deaths of the other Silver Hand paladins, which in my mind, Arthas would dispatch each in different ways. One would be slowly burnt alive by his necromancers’ spells, one would be devoured alive by his ghoul army, etc. And this would be meaningful because in an ideal universe, we would see these paladins’ relationship with Arthas in the early episodes, the feelings of comradery and brotherhood. I also had these idea bits which I expressed on the discord channel so I’m going to paste here as well: “Just imagine: There’s a point when Arthas starts losing his power later in the story. What if! What if when the Lich King’s power starts waning, his past humanity just starts revealing itself again. Just trickles of conscience. And he starts having these nightmares. Jaina sitting kneeling on the ground amids the fires of Stratholme, embracing Uther’s head. “What have you done, Arthas? What have you done?”. She keeps repeating this question. The voice of Uther joins in, then the voices of the victims of Stratholme join in a chorus of terror and desperation: “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, ARTHAS?” And he wakes up, all sweaty, sickly and weakened. And he must hurry up to save Ner’zhul because if he doesn’t, he’ll have to live with the atrocities he committed.” Sorry for the long rant and yes, I want to find a way to illustrate the soul being sucked into the blade as well! :D
