Thrall at the Maelstrom

"Thrall at the Maelstrom"


detail

Since I'm waiting for some of my illustration work to clear that's currently under wraps because of NDAs, here's a personal piece I recently finished. Normally, I try to steer clear from doing any kind of "fan art", but what started out as a simple warm up sketch ended up getting me excited and really into the piece so I decided to just finish it up. Normally when I do warm ups, I choose familiar subject matter (this ends up being things from games that I play or movies that I watch). In this case, I decided to do a portrait of the character Thrall from Warcraft. I try to keep things relevant to the game's storyline whenever I decide to do a Warcraft related piece and this one focused on the most recent Patch 4.2 - "Rage of the Firelands".

Thanks, man! I'm honestly just glad it's out of the way, I'm want to get started on a new one. Since this started out as a pretty straight forward portrait, I feel I didn't have a lot of options for the pose and composition. My approach kinda limited me, it's interesting how that can happen and just shows how important thumbnails and preliminary work is ;)
