Fun Art Fridays: Warcraft Trio Sketch


Uh oh! I'm at it again with my World of Warcraft fan art!

Once guild members realize that I'm an artist for a living, some ask me to draw them pictures if I have the time for it. Since this is something I enjoy doing anyway, I try to oblige. This piece showcases my friend's three level 80 characters: a Draenai Shamen, a Night Elf Hunter, and a Night Elf Druid.

I would probably have more characters at level 80 myself if I didn't love to draw so much in my free time. Which is a worthy trade-off in my opinion. I'll have a color version of this ready soon, so stay tuned!

Background Design: Tuffy's Exterior

Here's another fun background design 2A! created for Sifaka World!

This background is the exterior shot of “Tuffy's Tavern,” a restaurant located in the North American region of Sifaka World. The tavern is a place where you and your avatar can kick back, listen to some tunes on the piano, and enjoy a frosty mug of root beer served by none other than Tuffy himself.

We wanted the town to have the adventurous feel of the “wild west” without looking too dangerous or run down. So I checked out reference for some old ghost towns like Bodie and others. I think the outside of Tuffy's turned out looking pretty cool, plus I still have the inside to show you. Also, if you look to the right you'll see a path to another Sifaka World background we created!

If you're thirsty, why not head over to SifakaWorld.com a pay Tuffy a visit? I hear his root beer is fabulous!

Character Designs: Even More Desert Dwellers!

I'm back again this week with even more Desert Dweller designs!

This time I have a few more traditional takes on the “based on a camel” theme that I mentioned in my original post. The first pass is a cute, chibi-fied version of a character who might live in the desert. The second is a more adult version of that same character. Last but not least, I was able to find my initial sketch of a camel's basic proportions that I worked from.

I have one more page of Desert Dwellers that I'll post next week, so stay tuned!

MMMs: "S" is for Sharks

Dum dum...
Dum dum...
Dum dum, dum dum, dum dum, dum dum,
Dum dum, dum dum, dum dum, dum dum,
Do do doooooo!

Just when you thought it was safe to surf the internet again -- comes the attack of today's Monday Morning Motivators! In case you didn't guess it from my fantastic rendition of the Jaws theme in text, today we drew sharks! ;)

Next week's theme is anything that starts with the letter "T," so anyone interested in making a suggestion can drop us a line here or on our Facebook page. Become a fan, suggest a theme, and if we dig it we’ll draw it.

For those that don’t know… MMMs is our weekly exercise where we pick a theme and spend the first hour of each week sketching. The sketches can be loose or tight, but the point is to work out the weekend stiffness and draw something new.

Now without further ado, we present... "S" is for Sharks!
