Hey everyone!!!
Damn, where's this guy been eh? lol.
Well, I have a good reason for not posting these last few months. I just achieved one of my major life goals.
I just started my position at BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!
So yeah, its amazing so far, and im just trying to get settled and moved into my new place...(which is samwise's old house...the dude is freaking awesome cool by the way) and yeah, its a dream come true. I learned a ton while i was at the atelier for those few months, but blizzard contacted me and i had to cut my time there, because when blizzard offers you a job, and its been your life dream to work there...you take that shit. And I get to work with a ton of amazing artists all day and theres a real chance to grow, so its just amazing.
I work for on the world of warcraft dungeon team. And everyone is just super cool its ridiiculous, and really nice. I'm still pretty itimidated though, so i need, i figure...8 years to come out of my shell and actually be myself around the team lol.
Cole says that he works on a
World of Warcraft art team, so we might not be seeing too much
StarCraft art from him anytime soon. Nonetheless, StarCraft: Legacy would like to congratulate Cole on landing his dream job at Blizzard Entertainment, and we wish him the best of luck in his endeavors in the company.
Thanks to
Sybarite as well for the heads up.
Sons of the Storm, the sanctuary for Blizzard artists, will have a new artist soon added to their ranks, as indicated by the
Artists page. Currently among them is
Samwise,
Metzen,
Twincruiser,
Thammer,
Raneman and the recently recruited
Drawgoon.
Hopefully the new artist's focus will be on
StarCraft. In the meantime, there is plenty of
Warcraft and
Diablo art to be enjoyed on Sons of the Storm. New art for the
Zerg Queen surfaced a while ago after BlizzCon.
