Who drew the new loading screen characters?

[Deleted]

hm sylvanas and varian look retarded, but all in all I think they look pretty good

[Jester Joe]

lol always one apologist

It's true though, you can't hold up made up characters to real human proportions.

But seriously, Velen's exactly the same in his. Why poor Velen, why.

[Tucci]

While they don't look absolutely mind blowing, let's please not make this another gigantic issue and cry about how Blizz just doesn't care about the game anymore or something like we did with faction city placements. There are MUCH bigger fish to fry. Lowest priority right here. But I agree it should be on the list of things to look at if they have the time.

Look at Varian's eyes and Sylvannas' face.

Her face.

Look at her face.

Oh god Varian's proportions.

His wrists are bigger than his entire head.

rob liefeld, thats who.

[Potassiumgluconate]

rob liefeld, thats who.

Wait is it really him? That would explain everything

why is only brann depicted on that image btw? shouldn't all three dwarven leaders be on that image?

Velen and Sylvanas are the ones that differ from the rest. While the Velen image is almost 8 years old, (guess they don't want to make a new one), and went for sex appeal with Sylvanas, I wish they could have taken other illustrations.

[Tziva]

It's supposed to be all stylised and comic booky.

They haven't used him to have a new image I guess.

A cell-shaded WoW with that artstyle would look totally awesome

I'm OK with comic booky art in the loading screens, just not any that looks like it was done by a Rob Liefeld understudy. So goofy, but it's just a loading screen.

100% agreed. This is still the most hilarious one from him:

That'd be Ludo Lullabi's bs art style with anime flavor, I fucking hate it.

[Sugarpuff]

Have you seen the Goblin image? That one made me lol

[H3llhog]

I think Varian is okay...

Sylvanas though...what happened? Mekkatorque looks more intimidating than her.

[mauserr]

I'd like to finally have 1920 x 1080 loading screens without some big ass black stripes on both left and right.

Why is Thrall even in the Kalimdor loading screen? It's supposed to be the faction leaders, and Thrall gave up on being a warchief and a leader when he went green jeezus mode.

[Odile]

Ew, don't like it. Why do they suddenly go for a different comic book style for Eastern Kingdoms? Kalimdor doesn't have it nor do the new Draenor lands. Especially hate how Sylvanas and Varian look. Looks really out of place if you ask me.

I love Ludo Lullabi's work. These images are all from the official leader stories posted on the website from the last couple years. Funny how professional artists who make lots and lots of money and have the respect of others disagree with you all, they must just be cutting corner though, right? Exaggerated proportions, oh no, the artist must not actually know how what anatomy is, it can't be a stylistic choice, right?

You can actually tell when it's used to hide an ignorance of form or used to show they actually understand the mechanics of anatomy, and Lullabi knows exactly what they are doing. In a way it's a celebration of form and anatomical mechanics merged with emotional impact and just the artist clearly having a good time, and that energy resonates in his forms and line work.

The laughter is in the claim of someone being an apologist here.

Apologist my ass.

You want to see shitty Warcraft art? Look at the artist who replaced Lullabi after he stopped doing interior comic work and only did the covers. A good example of someone drawing to fill up space and meet a deadline who hides ignorance of form under complicated detail. I should know, it's been a bad habit of my very own.

As for art being reused for the loading screen, it's for the majority ALWAYS been that way. WTF are people smoking here?

Bullshit equivocation. Leifield doesn't know what he's doing and it shows when he hits a snag in his visual library. Lullabi's exaggeration is controlled, intentional, and it's obvious his visual library is solid with every object here.

What makes the fucking rules in the first place for what should be on the screen? What is your frame of reference to even ask this?

Again. B.S.
