Blizzard Entertainment
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands
Art Blast (Part One)

We just released our eighth expansion, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. It immerses players in an epic story that sends them to the ultimate undiscovered frontier—the Shadowlands, an infinite plane where mortal souls go to be reborn, serve, do battle, or endure endless torment. The whole World of Warcraft team challenged ourselves to raise the bar on every aspect of the experience, from the otherworldly zones players explore to the characters and cultures who populate the Shadowlands. We are excited to have this incredible opportunity for members of the team to share those efforts directly with you at the original resolution so you can see them in a whole new light.

The team has put a ton of effort and attention into all the work you see in this Art Blast and we hope you enjoy their work!

World of Warcraft Student Art Contest

The World of Warcraft Student Art Contest was created to give students who are excited about creating stylized, hand-painted game art an outlet. It has helped many Artists start their careers here on the Warcraft team at Blizzard and across the games industry.

We wanted to create something as an overview of the contest and the impact it has had and can have on student artists. The contest runs throughout the fall. For more information go to www.blizzard.com/students.

Enjoy the video and we look forward to seeing your entry in the contest.
