Tyrande Whisperwind Fan Art

Managed to fit in some Blizzard fan art over the last couple of weeks- Tyrande Whisperwind is a character from World of Warcraft. This portrait took a while, I think because I really wanted to do the source material justice (been playing WoW for close to 10 years now- yikes).

Yellow Background used to define the white areas of the armour whilst working

Inktober 2016

So proud of myself, for the first time I ever I completed 31 ink drawings for a full month of October- Inktober. Used pen and ink on a variety of paper types and used the theme of World of Warcraft pets to guide my drawing everyday.

It was great practice and using pen and ink, rather than pencil or digital meant that I had to be sure and confident of line placement. The drawings are saved below:

So This Was Pretty Cool

As most of you would know, I am partial to playing World of Warcraft and also drawing fan art based on the game for my friends. I drew this particular piece (seen below) for a 6 year old who is absolutely enamoured with the Lich King and his dragon. I decided to go with a chibi version of Arthas because, well a true to form version might be more than a little scary for a 6 year old. I also follow a few fan sites based on World of Warcraft and was surprised to see my little drawing had been picked up by one of them and shared on facebook- bit of a thrill any time you see your art taking on a positive life online.

My art picked up and reposted by WoW facebook group The Alliance. 

Chibi Lich King

This project was a commission for a friend and took inspiration from three sources, from Blizzard's World of Warcraft Lich King:

The Chibi style was inspired by models  from the following book- here

And also by the simplified design of this Chibi version of the Lich King by Jeffrey 'CHAMBA' Cruz, see more of his work here.

As my version of the lich king was for a 5 year old I simplified the armour and the presence of skulls was kept to a minimum. 

Pandaren Fan Art

Yep a little bit of fan art to break up the time spent doing 'srs business.' Pandaren Monk in training from the recent World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria expansion by Blizzard.
