Hearthstone: Sparring Partner






































Here's the second painting I did for Hearthstone: The Grand Tournament. There are obvious similarities to the first. The basic setting is the same and the color scheme of the armor is similar so consequently, the color scheme of the whole is similar too. Consider them variations on a theme...

The character's hair and mustache were a similar brown to his wooden sparring sword during most of the picture's development but were changed to black at the end. Capturing his friendly "come and get it" expression and hand gesture was a fun challenge!

Hearthstone: Recruiter






































My apologies for being so quiet. I've been doing a lot of work under non-disclosure agreements so I haven't had much available to actually post online. Thankfully, the latest Hearthstone card set, titled The Grand Tournament, has been released and I painted a few cards images for it. The first painting, Recruiter, is shown above. I'll post the second tomorrow.

This was drawn and painted entirely in Photoshop. I started in black and white and worked my way up to color, using a variety of digital brushes.

Thanks for looking!
