The Kalu'ak Condos - World of Warcraft Student Art Contest Submission 2022 UE5

"Everyone in Azeroth deserves a vacation. That's why the Kalu'ak founded this iceberg community. Unfortunately they forgot to account for the ancient ruins atop the nearest mountain. Let's just hope whoever lives there isn't as interested in fishing as the Tuskar . . . " The Tuskar must be my favorite denizens of Azeroth. Every time I get the chance to do a quest with them I'm reminded of how awesome they are. Did you know it's disrespectful to show up to a Tuskar village without a fish in hand? Anyways, I'm excited to share this submission for the 2022 Blizzard Student Art Competition! I was inspired by the return of the Tuskar in Dragonflight, and knew that this would be a great opportunity to show how I've grown as an artist over the past year.

Created over approximately four weeks using Blender, Maya, Photoshop, Unreal Engine 5, and World Machine. My Intro to Maya course with David Mooy has really helped my grasp of the toolset available in Maya, and it's shocking how much is available there compared to Blender.

Much appreciation and love to my partner for the countless critiques along the path to finishing this piece!
