Sam Are I

A tribute to Big Bad Billy Petras! What started out as a quick sketch for his one year memorial turned into this chaotic collage of cosmic carnage! Thanks for all the inspiration, then AND now, my friend! ABC, eternally! Sammy

@MickCraftGaming @Vertigo_7082 It is called Last Spell, Last Arrow, Last Orc.

Very nice! Yes I see that it was definitely made by Samwise. Here is a note from Chris Metzen from "The Art of Blizzard Entertainment" "This was the cover of the first RPG book we put out. It was right at the time we had shipped Warcraft III, so the Burning Legion, which features there in the background of the image, was the common franchise villain. The idea of an orc and a night elf and a human at an adventure party—like, 'Wow. Let's cross faction lines.' The night elves we had created up until then were ten thousand years old, and this girl looks like she's just starting her adventure. The mix of that chemistry and the colors—it was a fascinating image of Warcraft for me, and I just fell straight into it. It just opened up the world in a way that I had not looked at before." —Chris Metzen

Happy Friday my friends! Today, I'm sharing my favorite piece of art from Warcraft. I had a poster of this hanging above my PC through my teenage years. 🎨 Alliance vs Horde by @SamwiseDidier What's your favorite art piece from the world of Warcraft?

@MickCraftGaming This is one on my favorites too. Each character took 8-12 hours to do, and they were all done on separate files. My computer was so slow once I composited the characters together it took 5 minutes to save. I reused the Dwarf Rifleman concept I did earlier to save some time. ABC!

An important Christmas Eve message to you all. ABC, Always Bring Cookies!!!

@hiveworkshop And a hearty hail to to the guys @hiveworkshop ! FOR THE HIVE!

Cheers, Beers, and HAPPY 30 YEARS to Warcraft II! War II established our art style for future games to come. Big shoulder pads, vibrant colors, violent conflict and a touch of humor. Hail to Evilhog @hiveworkshop for reminding the Panda King of this most glorious of days! ABC!

@rckstarXX From our interview... KISS was a HUGE influence on a young Sammy, what with their elaborate costumes and make-up, their stage personas and theatrics, and not to mention the massive pyrotechnic displays. Each one was like a rock and roll superhero... RIP SPACE ACE!

Get inside the mind of @SamwiseDidier, the artist who shaped the look of #Warcraft, #StarCraft, & #Diablo. He reveals the "brütal" aesthetic's secrets, from technical limits to epic shoulder pads. Read the full article and interview! ➡️ rockstardrop.com/article/archit…

Somehow, someway, the little podcast that could turns a big ten years old. A crazy decade all around to be sure, and while I’ve seen many contemporaries (probably smartly) leave for other waters, I’m still happy to be here and giving you all my Warcraft and metal madness!

@PatricotEnzo I am not sure, Enzo. Have you checked out the War II manual? Maybe they are in there? I remember seeing this ages ago but I don't remember where these stats are located. Good luck and ABC!

Good Night, Dark Prince. R.I.P J.M.O.

Happy 76th to The Prince of Darkness! BTW, on 08-22-2009, Ozzy got a chance to close the show for The Artists Formerly Known As Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain (TAFKAL80ETC). Then on 10-19-2024 he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. There are no coincidences.

HAPPY 4th of July! As good ol' Jack Burton likes to say, "May the wings of liberty never lose a feather."

Cheers to you, Mr. Brian Wilson! Your music brought the beaches of Southern California to the entire world!
