Aldor Draeni

Acrylic, approx 7" x 10"

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

Original artwork sold.

Issuing a fearsome war cry the Draeni leapt into combat against his overawed foe.

I wanted to try to convey dynamic movement and power. By cropping the image quite close to the right of the figure, whilst conversely leaving negative space behind to his left, I hoped to create tension with the frame, and the sense that the figure is moving out of the space. This movement is further emphasised by the trailing tail, and tabard.

I also chose a low down point of view so that Draeni is above us, imbuing him with more power, and menace.

Maybe it's just me being used to exaggerated proportions too much... but isn't his arm quite a bit too small? I mean, even the shield-holding arm looks much longer!?
