Description
This is a piece of WoW promotional art I did way back when I worked at Blizzard. Had I known they would later use it on millions of Chinese Coke cans, I would have spent a few extra hours on it!Painted in photoshop. Copyright Blizzard Entertainment.

She is gorgeous, my favorite piece of WoW art. You should be proud to have her printed on all those coke cans. Out of curiosity what would you change if you had had more time to work on this?

Wow, thanks!Β I wouldn't so much change things, but improve them.Β There are details lacking, lighting that could be improved, proportions that could be corrected.Β You know, the usual.Β

I understand your critics as an artist. She does have beautiful eyes and lovely hair though. Are you
involved with the re-release of classic WoW in any way?

Nope!Β It's been a while since I worked there.Β However, since it's classic WoW, all my old animations are still being used.Β I animated about 1/3rd of the game.Β

so am I to assume you didn't get a chance to do a Pandaren for that book? you're very good. I'd be jazzed to have a piece in a WoW book.

but they have the rights to print and reprint as many times as they wish the work you did for them I'm guessing
speaking of, I don't know if you use YouTube any, but there's always fussing over the DCMA. Of course, I believe using someone's work for learning or teaching or even parody purposes is fair use. What do you believe? Like if someone here were to use one of your pieces, without asking, in a larger piece about, say, "a professional digital artist vs. an amateur, how it's done"?

Wait ! you made the original one? OMG 
I love your drawings!

I remember seeing this wonderful drawing when I first bought the WoW pack and it is the most outstanding piece you have done. It's remarkable and it's rememberable to all eyes. It is like a symbol of power and art to the game, to me as least.
Good job!
