Not painting nearly as often as I should. Sometimes I think I’d get more done if I focused less on line art and just carved out shapes from colors instead. Illustrated in Sketchable.

Revisting the design of a friend’s troll shaman from WoW. Design’s gonna need a lot of love.
In life, none were more loyal to the crown of Lordaeron than the knight who would follow his prince into undeath. When the fallen prince of Lordaeron became the Lich King, the knight was made into Sigar Dreadhowl, a Death Knight known for a piercing, soul-shattering wail that rivaled that of any Banshee in the Scourge’s employ.
Although the Lich King would fall, Sigar feigned enmity toward his former master, infiltrating the Horde and waited. Through subtle machination, he convinced a band of heroes– veterans of the Horde banded together to stand against any and all that threatened it– to bring about the return of the Lich King’s unholy reign. They learned too late what their actions had wrought.
They were the first to stand against the ascension of an even more powerful Lich King, and as reward for their valor, were the first to fall.
Rewarded for his duplicity and loyalty, Sigar Dreadhowl was named Baron of the Scourge, bestowed with the Helm of Dominion, and tasked to server as the Lich King’s own right hand.
His first act as Baron of the Scourge– Raising the heroes he had deceived and slain into the Lich King’s greatest champions.
This piece was a long time coming. Each of these are taking longer and longer to finish. I aim to be swifter from this point out, but I may put this project on ice for a bit and work on some different things that don’t require as much research and planning.
I’ve begun streaming more regularly, and I’m putting most of my new stuff on Patreon where they sit for a week while patrons have first look at them. Then I’ll upload them here. Here’s how you can keep track of what I’m working on:

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
The Scourge experience a terrifying uptick in their magical might when Mythellion Highbrook, the Sin’dorei scholar studying the ley lines of Azeroth. His considerable magical skill was pressed into service of the undead army, and his boundless curiosity about the ley lines was perverted into … Continue reading Scourge Champions – Mythellion the Ley Lich
I realized I said I was going to upload more stuff and that was back on Wednesday or something. Oops.
These are the pieces I turned in for additional assignments.
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.
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.
Had some downtime at work and I wanted to play around with a few things. Looking to explore a grayscale.
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.
