It's been a while since I've posted, real life has been a bit time consuming, lol.

Ive been doing a lot of thinking, and I truly want to start working at Blizzard sometime next year, and I better work my fucking ass off to make it happen. So without further ado, here are some practices. First, a fast 30 min character illustration. Just wanted to practice doing random stuff lol.
[image loading]

Today I decided to make a 1 hour Blizzard speedpaint, so here is Diablo Not really satisfied with the result, guess I have to practice more.

And finally a painting I am trying to really detail and take my time with it. Right now, there has been about 8 hours invested in this thing. Size of the real image is like 500% bigger than this jpg, but for the purpose of this being a blog and a WIP, I decided to just upload it as is.

Comments and crits welcome

Looks really great man. Love the detail on the fur and wings (?) in the last drawing.

I don't know squat about speedpainting, but your Diablo looks pretty good regardless.

Those are really impressive! I particularly like the last one although I can see you're still working on it I also like the colour scheme of the Diablo pic, it is very fitting with the overall theme of the game art.
I assume you use a tablet for this, what kind do you recommend? I also want to work for Blizzard, but seeing the quality of the fan art (and those guys haven't been hired!) was very demotivating for me. But I sincerely wish you luck in your endeavors to get there, it would be pretty cool to have a TL'er working for Blizz

I like the first one probably the best to be honest. Everything else is clear, colorful and detailed, but the first one adds something more. Did you make him/it translucent?

First one might be lesser quality then the 3rd one but it's by far my favorite.

Something about it.

LOL that bird is still WIP and took you only 8 hours? wtf. I would have believed you if you had said this is a finished picture with about a week work behind it. how sick are you??

diablo could use some food though, he looks a little starved. Kinda like you tried to give him sex appeal Oo
