Naz'jar Sorceress

Here's a new one for the upcoming World of Warcraft set call Throne of the Tides. I did a little bit of digital work on top this time to punch up the magic/glow effects.

Shadowcore

Hey everyone! If (like me) you're into following awesome artist-group blogs, check out Shadowcore. It just went live but there are already a bunch of amazing contributors and I'm stoked to be included.

That is all :)

Elder Cathar

Here's the last of my work for the upcoming Magic: the Gathering set. I used myself for reference so the hardest part about this one by far was beefing up my skinny, uncallused, artist hands.

Skaab Ruinator

Here's another one for the upcoming Magic: the Gathering set...definitely in the running for the grossest thing I've ever been asked to paint. As was the case with Stitched Drake, this guy's a creation of the Skaab, who are kind of the Dr. Frankensteins of this Magic universe. I remember I spent a lot of time on this one focused on capturing the chilly, foggy mood that I wanted for the scene.

Stitched Drake

This piece is the first of mine to be released from the upcoming Magic: the Gathering set. He's basically a composite of dead human and animal parts and metal that have been fashioned into a (rough) approximation of a drake. Needless to say, this guy was a lot of fun to work on.

The Hammer Council

Here's another new one for the World of Warcraft card game. (I'm told) these guys are the new rulers of the dwarves. This piece is also supposed to be included in this year's WoW calendar. Fingers crossed for a free copy :)

Suncaller Haruh

Here's a new one for the World of Warcraft card game. This guy was my first Tauren (that's WoW for Minotaur) for the game and I really got a kick out of it. He's also a good example of how I usually approach making changes to a piece, when I first turned it in the magic effect he's casting was only happening at his fingertips (see below), the AD thought that it needed some more punch so I went ahead and expanded the magic effect in Photoshop.
