If you like orcs getting stabbed in the neck with broken-off wooden objects (and who could blame you, really?), then the promotional art for the new
World of Warcraft: Bloodsworn comic should be for you. Artist Jeremy Raapack put up two pages of
promo art on his blog, talking about the reveal of the comic at SDCC. So far, it's looking pretty sweet, and
Bloodsworn should definitely focus more on the Horde side of things than the original comic series did.
I have to say I really enjoy this
picture of a troll from the comic. Granted, I can't tell the story from these two pages at all, but the art's solid and I'll give it a chance for that reason alone.

I approve of more troll art--DO WANT.

Troll? It looks more like an orc to me. A very cool orc- but an orc none the less.

Click the link near the end of the article, that's definitely a Troll.

It is cool, I want more :)

...wow. The level of detail in that art is pretty damn amazing. I never really got into the WoW comic series, but I might have to check out the graphic novels now.
Leviathon Jul 26th 2011 10:06PM
And just think, this is without the color. :p

Absolutely floored at the sheer level of detail. If the art in the actual book looks even half as good (as we all know, many graphic novels like to suck us in with gorgeous cover art and more simplistic drawings inside) I'll be sure to purchase and enjoy the eye candy.

This is the interior art. The cover art was done by Samwise and Alex Horley.

Well that's the first time the art on a WoW comic has actually sold me. I'll buy this one.

And that's clearly a stick that Throgg threw for Not-spot... Oh, how did the worgen ever come between the two of them...
:P

Hardworking orc is sick of Night Elf kids with the baggy hoods and what appears to be a pair of blue blockers stealing his wallet all the time.
Suzaku Jul 27th 2011 6:08PM
That's actually a blood elf. Ashra. He's a paladin.
I'm not sure why he's killing an orc, especially since he's part of Garrosh's elite team. Maybe it's a Twilight Cultist or traitor or something.

Apparently the artist has now had to take it down, presumably at Blizzard's request.

WoW Insider doesn't really respect Blizzard or DC copy rights it seems.
