Scourge Champions – Ashmother Meurryel
After the Lich King conquered Azeroth, it was only a matter of time before the Burning Legion renewed their invasion, eager to collect their wayward servant and press him and his undead Scourge into their fold. Meurryel the Ashmother would be the one who made … Continue reading Scourge Champions – Ashmother Meurryel

Figurization for Digital Media (Totally not Sculpting).
Started a new course today. We’re sculpting a maquette to be scanned and ported into Maya or ZBrush. So we’re working with clay to create a humanoid figure. I’m creating the elven assassin that I did from a few posts back because I really liked that character’s musculature and stance.
Sculpt Progress (L) and Reference Sketches (R)
The sculpture will be a nude figure, since we only have about 5 days to model and sculpt the character, so we can’t bog ourselves down with details. A standing pose is required, and since I’m using the same concept I used from last Thursday, I’ve got a lot of the reference legwork done.
We didn’t actually get to sculpting until about 4:15. As a point of reference, our class started at 8:00 this morning. My professor opted to let the class go an hour later (and giving us an hour longer before class starts in the morning) and dude, I got lost in it.
I think I’ve discovered an art form that I will be continuing with after this course concludes. I didn’t want to leave class today and even as I write this post I want to keep sculpting.
The character only looks vaguely female currently. You really only do three things in sculpting: Adding, cutting, and measuring. I anticipate I’ll be cutting the figure down.
Can’t wait to see how we’re going to handle posing this figure. I’m looking forward to rendering the detail on her torso!

These are the pieces I turned in for additional assignments.

Reference for Digital Figurization
Hi everyone,
I’ve been a little busy! I haven’t yet started on my Favreau sketch. Burned through my free days last week by going to the movies two days in a row, got started with a busy work week on Wednedays, dealt with car troubles over the weekend, and now I’m starting a new course as of yesterday– Reference for Digital Figurazation with a professor I admire a great deal.
Collecting reference photos is a skill too few people in this school understand, hence why my professor is conducting this course.
Each day I have to produce a final drawing based on photographic and anatomical references, so I’ll post those:
Here’s Monday’s final piece, my Undead Warrior from WoW
Unrelated, I canned my WoW subscription for a little while.

Sketch Dump of Elves and Demons
Holding my own in the office this morning. My usual coworker is out sick and the one who came in tonight in her place left a couple of hours ago after the bulk of the work was done. So I’ve been on my own here since about 4AM and had some time to sketch.
I’m being bad. These are purely from my head when I should be sketching from what I see instead. I guess I just felt like drawing some Warcraft elves. The elves are some of my Warcraft toons. The demon was an antagonist for a story I was developing with a WoW guild. His name is Xel’nastar the Revanchist.
Sketched with a ballpoint pen.

Warcraft Sketch – Shaman and Priestess
Had an image of mine and my friend’s WoW characters in my head after leveling through Pandaria that I’ve been wanting to doodle. I kind of wanna put some perspective on it, because it feels kind of, ah, stiff. Happy to get it ‘onto paper’, though.
