They certainly hired a skilled guy there. But I wonder how much concept art is still required for SC2... They should mostly be done with that part.


He did some Diablo stuff too

that's amazing

Slightly off topic... I thought they removed the skill tree for Diablo 3..?

Awesome! I hope we get to see even more amazing stuff from him now that he's going to be solely drawing for Blizzard.

this is probably the worst sc2 news I've read in a while

they are just NOW hiring a new artist for SC2? are you kidding me? and his talents are probably going to have to go to waste taking orders from inferior artists (samwise) and dumb down his work to "fit" into Blizzard lore

but at least hes getting paid CHA CHING

1) There are going to be 2 expansions

2) As devs said during Blizzcon or maybe WWI, can't remember, Thor is example of a unit that went reverse way - artists said "find a place for a giant mech".

I think they were told to come up with something as 3rd unit made in Factory before that though
It's a cool unit anyway

Congratulations! This guy deserves the position, no doubt. He truly is very talented and I enjoy his artwork over some of Blizzard's artists.

Since the terran part of SC2 is first, and most of his SC work is zerg, it does seem to make sense they picked him up now as beta is about to be (maybe? =P) released, so he has time to work on the zerg concept art in their expansion story. Seems like a logical time to get him now so he has time to work in the zerg area of it.

Yeah! I'm glad they hired him, love his artwork.

I agree that it's a little late though, but he'll have his time in the other two expansions.

I always enjoy it when people like you are banned before I even read your posts. I have no idea why people are saying that it is late for Blizzard to be picking up Mr Jack. Starcraft 2 is not even in beta yet. Anyway ten bucks says that we see Mr Jacks zerg artwork in the manual.
