knowing WOW style Painting

juancaratino

Because i dont have any clue on how to paint like HAND PAINT STYLE (WOW style) , any criticism or tip from the experts are very welcome

I hope there is some kind of TIPs for the style but i don't know any

I know by observation, some thing like, always are scratches or cracks with a
thin white line denote de crispy edge

Always SATURATED colors

but nothing more

SUPER sorry for my english

In regards to your current model, it's also a matter of value. Assuming your skull is the primary focus, the general value of it should be amped up.

Also, in particular with WoW art, think chunky details. Rarely are decorations like cuts and scratches small. Make them feel larger, almost cartoonish.

Not sure if you've seen this thread already; by its by an artist whom worked on the Siege of Orgrimmar patch:

He gives a small demonstration how the blizzard team accomplish the WOW look. He also then expands and gives a full tutorial in Vertex Magazine II which can be found here:

Hope this helps, and JadeEyePanda is right - there's a lot of good reference and inspiring work in that thread!
