My former office mate Justin who now works at Blizzard talked me and a couple other guys into entering the Blizzard art contest. They posted the winners today and neither I nor anyone I know is among them. I probably didn't spend enough time on these to compete with the ones that were picked. Oh well, at least I have something to post on my blog now. I don't know if Todd and Ryan will post theirs. We may have to pressure them a little.
These are cool, Dave... great colors and moods in both. You were robbed.
ReplyDeleteI love the lava environment. The one thing I think it is missing is some kind of intriguing structure, like a fortress in the background. That might have pushed it over the top for them.
ReplyDeleteEither that, or you should have used the glow brush a lot more.
These are quiet impressive Dave.
ReplyDeleteI like this one. Great palette. Frazetta like.
ReplyDeleteCOOL!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the palette of the top one, fantastic work! I think it was Justin that made sure you didn't win;)

Great paintings. I prefer these to the ultra-tight renderings, personally. Thanks for posting 'em!
