Paladin

Acrylic, approx 7" x 10"

World of Warcraft trading card game illustration
©Blizzard Entertainment & Upper Deck.

Original artwork sold.


The Paladin charges across the dusty ground, the intense heat of the sun forgotten, as he rushes to aid his friends.

I wanted this piece to scream action. I used a low point of view to make the figure powerful, and foreshortening to increase his intensity. This was then combined with a strong lighting effect (like that found in my other piece Ambush).

Then to draw the eye to nearest point, and the focus of the action, I used blue-grey for the halberd blade. This is the only diversion from the, otherwise limited, palette spectrum of yellow-orange-red.

cool! He's all like

THIS IS WoW! (World of Wacraft)

The sky has turned grey,
The evil approaches,
The shadows turn into darkness,
And the darkness into warriors,
The good have been vancuished,
But a man stands in the eteternity gate,
The evil knights approach,
but soon flee,
the Paladin of eteteriny awakes,
to find the world in rubble,
he sees evil armies on the horizont,
their mocking laughter echos through the empty mountains,
filled with rage,
the warrior charges,
with light in his veins.

Made it up myself! :D

A magnificent piece of artwork! To think this is a painting is... astonishing...

And I must say, he looks like a Tank!
