WoW Character Art - Final Sketch
Togail | 10:21 PM on 08.06.2009 12 comments


The line art is finally done! This is probably the best and most involved work I've done in a very long time; and I'm proud of what I've created. For now I'll be prepping it for color and doing final detail work. I've had to level up my game to make this piece look good, and my friend Sarah pointed me in the right direction in terms of getting my anatomy right. Hopefully the painting phase will go as well as this has. Thanks for looking!

The detail on this is really impressive. I have a great respect for anyone that has the patience to actually do such intricate work. One of my greatest faults, especially when it comes to traditional pencil and ink, is that I get a little erratic and go mosh pit on detail instead of being clean and specific.

When you say 'painting phase', are you referring to digital coloring, or actual old-school brushwork?

I came. While I don't play it, I love WoW art.
Togail's Destructoid Blog
Suitcoat: Digital, all the way. I have no real experience with analog painting.
Arttemis's Destructoid Blog
Wow, incredible art!

Just a guess, but it looks like a lvl 60 female Night Elf hunter with a Gurubashi Dwarf Destroyer, Cryptstalker armor, though I can't identify the familiar looking axe.

Very impressive skill, man!

I'm an artist and teacher at Full Sail University and run a freelance art studio in Winter Park, Florida. I specialize in natural fantasy and industrial design, as well as character design. I am currently a concept artist for an online MUD, and for an independent horror film. This is my video game art blog; I'm meticulous and am a perfectionist, and I've begun to experiment with different styles and methods to create art that is faithful to it's source. Video games have been a completely and wholly encompassing part of my life; it's only fair that my love of art reflects this.

Craploads of mechanical pencils and sharpies
Stacks of printer paper
