This guy is phenomenal. Imagine having the creativity, drive and passion to create armor sets for each class within each race, and they coming out this beautiful.

Is he part of the Chinese art factory blizzard gets their artwork from?
Also I don’t see anything really special there myself.

These are certainly impressive.
Nice and iconic but also not very demanding design wise. I love the different armor types being depicted as well.

Gotta say, I’m loving the shaman set for the orc. The hunter set for the troll ain’t bad either.

Those Mag’har sets

Did you wake up in a bad mood today, Marla, or is this your permanent demeanor?
These are very well done. I particularly enjoy the DK and Warlock sets.
The Void Elf Rogue and Monks sets are also particularly well done.
It wouldn’t be the first time Blizzard hires someone for their fan creations, but I don’t think concept art is an area where Blizzard is currently lacking, personally.
I’d like to see him expand the allied races to include DK sets now, too.
He should also do Druid forms (mainly Feral) for all the races, regardless of if they can currently be Druid.

labeled “undead” instead of “Forsaken”… that artist is dead to me.

This was posted several months ago, and was a popular thread. But, assuming blizz did hire him, his creativity would likely be stifled and he’d be added to some project he doesn’t want to do. Blizz needs to accept that racial class-based art would be good, but that’s not a project they care too much abut right now.

The Forsaken are Undead, kind of a petty point to hate an artist over.

I especially like the Pandaren

None of this is original. He just copies existing stuff and modifies it slightly.
Also, drawing 2d art != creating 3d models.

Agreed. That’s incredible work.

Pretty much this. Wasn’t going to say anything, because it really doesn’t look bad, but it is super similar to older stuff.

WTF? Is this real?
I know right?!
The artwork doesn’t come from China… it’s just approved by China.

Yeah, the armor sets look pretty good.
I would love to see armor like this in WoW.
Not even so much the colors or themes, since we do have things that are quite similar, but more so the variety in silhouette.
The one gripe I have with armor in this game is it’s all too samey. Robes are the same model over and over with a new texture painted over them.
They’ve started to add 3D bits and bobs here and there over the last couple of years but the base models have stayed the same.

These are awesome… Imagine if this guy had Blizzard’s resources and support for refining them.
