Hi all! About two years ago I had the opportunity to work on my dream project. It feels like an eternity has passed since then but I'm finally able to share some of the work I did for the intro to the blizzard BRAWL trailer (the pre-rendered portion). As a huge blizzard fan I felt extremely honored to work on some of my…
Thanks guys, looking at your sites, I see a lot of excellent stuff myself. Kevin, I totally agree about Blizzard. They were initially top of list for the job hunt. But then i found out more about the area they're in, it sounds like an environment more for settling down with a family. I think for now I still need to travel…
Using Blizzard-style art as inspiration is good, but using them as primary references without understanding the core concepts behind arms and armour is bad; you'll be copying and incorporating their lack of understanding into your own work without realizing it. In the early 2000's basically nobody knew how armour worked…
Thanks for the feed back so far. @Jimmy, thanks. I agree with you regarding the break downs.

Blizzard banned the account. Demanded that I send them a copy of my passport and photo ID notarized. They said banks do this for free in the…
Hey Polycount, I am very happy that Blizzard is making concrete steps toward expanding its franchise pool, and in my view, increasing the longevity of the company. I have renewed interest in joining the Big Blue for Overwatch, among other things. But specifically Overwatch. So looking at Tracer, I immediately began to…
Hey @DavidCruz thanks for the comment. The two of us started this project with the whole purpose of learning for ourselves,
trying to get out of our comfort zones and at the same time post our process to
polycount and that way try to give back to this amazing community. We believe we actually learned much more by analyzing…
thanks to all this is a great feedback :-) yes i forgot some details to tell yes ok: the textures are handpainted + a bit foto structures to get the complete look. the greenish look comes from the light setup because i explored the shots of the blizzard and to me all stone elements in this castle setting are nearly gray…
