Beautiful Artwork, i missed the dungeon for play against the lich king when the expansion release. this picture remember me the song of the background in WOLK. it's stunning and amazing. i like a lot. Must have been difficult to do.
If you have the time good sir, would you mind tellin' a novice like myself and the rest of the world, just how long does it take for you to make something such as this ? : ) And i dont want to hear "10 to 30 min's" hehe.
Well, we have a rather inundating process we go through, in terms of feedback from various stake holders whenever we start a painting.
We go through a thumbnail phase which can be days to weeks long before an idea is decided upon. Then we go through the drawing stage, which usually takes a day or 2. Then we wait for feedback. After it's approved we do a color rough. Send that off and wait for approval. When we get it, then we commence painting, which usually takes 5-6 work days. When it's done, we send it off for approval, and hopefully it's done.
Now-a-days, we cascade projects so we get more done, but measuring how long something takes to complete is a fools errand because it's unpredictable and can at times be exhaustive, and at other times, super quick.
If I just worked through, without the feedback process, maybe a week and half of work time. But because it's never that simple, most projects are measured in weeks, as in around 3, by the time it's done. We deal with a lot of changes throughout the process which can make it so that even a simple piece can sometimes take a lot longer than it would seem.
This one had a lot of feedback, and I did it years ago, but I think it was 3 weeks of work time.
Man I did not expect such an in depth and detailed answere , and I'm just thrilled that you took the time to give it. I'm actually studying games and game grafics at the moment, so I will most surely take your wisdom to heart. And I know there's a lot of other people out there whom will do the same.

Thanks again good sir!
Loved WC3, LOOOVED playing as the scourge, and when it was finally time to defeat Arthas in WoW I was just like....".....;___; NUU. I don't WANNA!"
" I see... ... only Awesomeness... ... before... ... me... ... "
Jeayh, this Picture rules
