Description Amazingly, this card artwork was kickstarted ALMOST a year ago, I took the assignment in December and now that Scourgewar is being released it's seeing the light of day again.

The funny thing was in December, I thought I had plenty of time to work on a card. As soon as the new year began Starcraft 2 started crunching (overtime hours) ALOT (before all the deadlines slipped) and I couldn't stand using spare time to work on this card. Missmonster helped me get the coloring started, and Pulyx pretty much took it to the finish line after I did a couple last minute tweaks.

They're good folks!

I could really imagin an orc Death Knight to be like this one. Great job. That rune axe is really epic and fits for the orc traditions too.

This looks truly badass! \m/, ^_-Β Β I play an Orc female DK myself and its great to see a piece like this. (also because its not slutty unlike so many otherΒ wow female characterΒ related creations.) I love the glow emanating from the axe too.

Is this going to be in Hearthstone perhaps?

The only thing I love more than female trolls is female orcs, and this thing is insane! I love it ^^

Where would I learn the techniques involved in creating this sort of image?

Something about your inking and shading style gives everything a really nice chunky feeling. I especially like the thick pauldrons. I think those would snap my back.

Boarguts In reply to WonderDookie [2009-11-16 03:02:53 +0000 UTC]

If things aren't thick the boss pushes me around like a bully.

AND! My old lady found your blog by chance the other day and was like: "He painted this plant here you see!?" Then I said "He paints up lots of things, look at this gallery and see for yourself!" Then she flipped out. A literal flip while her mind was blown by awesome art. All I could tell her was "Yeah, that just happened."

You win this round, sir.

Your boss is probably quite the ogre too eh? Har har har. Warcraft reference.

haha. Was she looking out for you? Making sure no internet punks were going around stealing your work? I need a hired thug like that too.

Pfft. And my hat is off to you sir. These new Warcraft pictures you put up are totally bad ass.

I thought that colouring looked familiar.

What's your involvement with SC2? Or can you not tell us?

Boarguts In reply to Enydimon [2009-11-12 06:21:54 +0000 UTC]

YES! Pulyx went above and beyond with the colors, and I'm happy to say this collaboration got him a gig doing card art of his own for Upper Deck. So hopefully he'll be posting some of his own work when the future sets are released.

I've modeled alot of the units and buildings for SC2 these past 4 years. As soon as the game releases I promise a super-mega awesome art dump of all the SC2 stuff. In the mean time, we shall have to patiently wait.

That's good! Puly deserves it.

Sounds good. I had no idea how much you were involved with Blizzard or any of the games. Feels really cool to see someone working on one of the games here on DA.
