Hello Folks,
I've been interested in doing handpainted stuff ever since I started getting hooked on the Blizzard art style.
I found this great tutorial by Tyson Murphy. the result can be seen below.

When I completed this I took my World of Warcraft Collectors edition art books and scoured for some usable concepts. I found one at the start of the Lich Kings art book and modelled it after the concept.
Results below.
