#fantasy #comic #art Hi, I haven't posted anything new in a while, here's a small comic. This was my first comic, I hope you like it. I'll post the second one soon, it's 99.9% ready.

Hey. So, I've talked about how I can't seem to finish proper projects and always switch to easier things... Yeah, I did it again. I went for something I could complete in one go. My apologies. #warcraft #warcraftart

As promised, I'm sharing some new sketches. I'm still working on the 3D model, but I've also decided to finish a big project I hadn't touched in a long time. I think I have this fear of finishing large projects... I always feel the urge to switch to something new. #warcraft #warcraftart

Huge thanks, that's very nice to hear! I'm a fan of using black bars at the top and bottom, they really make the frame feel more cinematic and wide-screen.

Thank you so much! I've never created a complex model for animation before. I really appreciate you showing the technique behind this result. It's incredibly satisfying to watch the pauldron follow the arm's movement so perfectly, over and over.

I have a lot of these quick pieces. Once, I even tried to turn them into a short video, but I never finished it - not sure why. I guess the thought of editing just stopped me in my tracks. But I still have some frames saved from that attempt. I think I'll post them someday as a little storyboard.

I love making quick, loose sketches - no line art, no underpainting, just fast results that don't require me to go all out. It's my way of making sure I don't forget how to draw in Photoshop. If you're into this kind of work, let me know! #warcraft #warcraftart

The sheer amount of work behind a finished 3D model is staggering. This is a very cool result! Out of curiosity, do you rig it yourself or rely on a specific add-on for the bones? Would love to know your workflow.

Your attention to textures and materials is next level. It's incredibly meticulous, yet it never feels cluttered. That sense of lightness you achieve is so inspiring!

Retopology and I still have a... complicated relationship. My PC isn't the strongest, so handling high-poly models from ZBrush is always a bit of a struggle. But texturing? That's the part that makes it all worth it. It feels like pure magic after all the technical headaches.

I rarely even work in this style now. But back then, I dreamed of getting into a studio so badly... even though the pay was survival-level peanuts. This piece really was my "all" at that moment. Do you have a piece you're irrationally proud of, even if it's old or "imperfect" by today's standards?

Alexander Grishanov @alexanderart.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

At the time, this was my most complex piece ever. I was so afraid to ruin it that I ended up with hundreds of layers! But I'm still so proud I gave it 146%. Funny how we grow.

Hi, a few years ago, I worked on this cover art for "The Braves" project. While I wasn't selected as the final illustrator, this piece represents a lot of time and heart. So, if you like it - it's yours. Feel free to download, use as a wallpaper, or get inspired. #art #illustration #fanart

I'm deeply in love with this universe—you could say I have a hyperfixation on it. I started drawing in the first place because I fell in love with its visual style. In a way, Warcraft might be the reason I became an artist. What does this universe mean to you?

Hi everyone! I've been learning 3D modeling for a few months and want to share my journey as I work on a model of Illidan. I've never run social media before, but I feel ready to start. "You are not prepared!" they said. Well... I am now! #warcraftart #art
