Description Forged in Shadow and Flame

Acrylic, approx 7" x 10"

World of Warcraft trading card game illustration
Β©Blizzard Entertainment.

Original artwork for sale; SOLD

The Worgen roared in delightful anger as he destroyed the resources of his enemy!

The lighting was everything in this piece, and I tried to use it to goo effect, both in providing focus and in silhouetting the figure and flying debris.

More details about the process can be found on my blog here:

You did it again Sir Awesomness! Awesomely good!

Great action, movement, colour and light! Love the exploding door (glad I am not behind it), great the way the shards are flying.

Kinda looks like a Millwall hooligan after a particularly bad loss to West Ham, or vice versa.

I think the lighting looks great, I'm jealous.
I never thought it would actually be possible to paint an explosion. Obviously you've proved me wrong.
Nice work like always!

great ! if only i had the money !

Btw, i was asking to myself, how long did you take to make this sort of paintings ? And what kind of acrylic/ oil are you using ?

RalphHorsley In reply to Zedig [2011-05-20 12:56:57 +0000 UTC]

Thanks - I use a mix of acrylics, but my favourites are liquitex soft body. A piece like this takes 2/3 days from start to finish.
