Done for Hearthstone.Apparently his Scepter is upside down. That is how I was specifically asked to paint it by the Art Director at Blizzard.

One of my favorite pieces of art I've ever seen. Phenomenal work with color and gesture. Really cool point of view as well

oh so many memories, the most humourous and snarky grumpy dragon evil lord of ol' good Azeroth
i never chease to be delighted and amazed by your art btw ^^
may i ask why the sceptre was requested to be upside down? cause Nefarius doesn't want to ruin the gem when swinging the weapon on our heads? xD

I can only assume that Blizzard wanted the scepter like that.Β I'm not all that familiar with some of the Warcraft/Hearthstone characters, so I would not have noticed the upsidedownness

mmm following Blizzard stuffs since
since
oh my gawd since a whole life xDΒ
ehm, btw, usually they have some reason for these things, maybe hidden, maybe even just for easter eggs purposes xDΒ
for what i know, it could even be a nod to some bug that visualized the weapon upside down... i wouldn't be surprised if it was something like this

It's his Scepter. if he wants to hold it different, that's his prerogative. Β
It's beautiful. (the entire picture.. not just the Scepter)

Lol reminds me of a phrase in WoW "Don't you know where the sharp part of the axe goes!?"

I was trying to figure out the funtion of that thing as a weapon too

That's pretty epic : )Β Do they give you all guidelines on how he needs to look like? Or you present different possibilites and they chose? I'm really curious
I really like how you drew the armor, you are really talented!

It is upside down.
I have that scepter - my paladin is too "young" to equip it, but it's there. <3

'i'ma beat you with muh ugly stick'.....for some reason...thats what comes to mind right now.

Maybe the sceptre is upside down for melee reasons. I'd thing something used for magic would break on impact so you just use the other end for a beatdown. Incredible work and i can't wait to see it in game.

He looks like the guy who became the new Lich King, but it isn't him.

I saw this image in the previews for the Hearthstone expansion - it really is a great rendition of this character. Can't wait to see this artwork in the game!

So juicy! Do you have a general approach to painting, like grey-scale to color, or do you start with color? I'd love to see a process video Β Β

This guy means business. Β The butt end of the scepter looks more useful for impaling. Thanks for sharing!
