FOR THE ALLIANCE

Description

Submitted to a Blizzard contest that ended yesterday.

Here's a story:

I went to BlizzCon 2009 with my brother - Anaheim, CA. We both played WoW and were aware of Blizzard's Horde favouritism - but we were NOT prepared for just how strongly that was the case. After the intro speech it was obvious we were outnumbered by the masses. Much of the appeal of the Horde stems from the badassness of their art and design. In truth, I think the Alliance could be - and are - equally bad ass but the art just needs an extra edge of violence. I have a few illustrations on my hard drive, in thumbnail form, that exhibit what I'm describing. They depict a more savage justice and it makes them pretty bitchin'! Anyway, I'm not saying this is going on in this piece necessarily but I have a dream to bring some bad ass art to the Alliance one day ;)

For a change I went for an ink-on-parchment look. It was nice to break away from rendering and, I think, more visually powerful with just line. One of my tendencies is to paint over my lines because the drawing foundation is often wrong... maybe by doing more linework things like this I will shed that weakness.

HOPE YOU DIG IT
