The Digital Painting Process of a Blizzard Artist

comments 1

I miss Jason Manley and conceptart.org . This reminds me of him. He would have done a better job at making his light speech into a long speech about why, for each illustration, there is a passion for composition. I feel no doubt that this man's career, that is 1 year younger than conceptart.org, benefited from conceptart.org immensely, and that what is being shown in these tutorials is often an unfortunate replacement for the art direction that existed there. Of course there are many exceptions to that on here. But there doesn't really seem to be a community here. Ive tried to participate a few times and it seems extremely quiet here. However the anatomy on here on proko is second to none. With this piece I only have one problem which is that the choice of the area where he is turned into stone doesn't contrast well with the background to read well. The color dynamic should be different there, but maybe that is something that is typical of the style of Magic the gathering as needing an overly tan background.
