Even though I don't work at Blizzard anymore, am I a douchebag for entering as a fan?
It's been awhile since I painted these two. Working on the Barbarian at was the funnest project ever. All the concepts, all the modeling. I learned so much while on this character too - primarily just how bad my anatomy was!Here the D3 Barbarians maintain their vigil of Mt. Arreat.
I joined the team after you left. Your paintings have been a great inspiration for me. Huge fan. Thanks for sharing your wonderful works!
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, I'm glad you like. Say hi to the team for me, and Congrats!
DeleteHeh, It's funny that I entered the Hero contest as well, after finding out that it was your work that helped create the visual style of the game.
ReplyDeleteNo way I'm winning after the work you have just posted!
Still, great, great work. Hat's off for you!
