Why are there barely any paintings of one of the most interesting characters in the whole Warcraft universe ? The shaman warchief Ner'zhul.

Based on the concept design by Metzen from the first Art of Warcraft book.

Starting with a pencil drawing and coloring in ps.

Awesome stuff, but idk if this is Chris Metzen's fault or yours but he wouldn't have that horde symbol on him.

you see Ner'Zhul would not be sporting the third war banner, considering his death and accession to the lich king was prior to the third war, so he would have if anything sported this symbol

Unless I'm completely off my rocker...

Just a minor thing, it's hardly anything to really complain about

again A+ work.

I agree, considering he's was one of the most important figures in Warcraft, he gets the shaft quite often in the art and lore department. Especially the whole fading away bit.

Truly amazing work!
However, I don't think Ner'zhul looked that badass by the time he became a necromancer/warlock.

no "blackhand the destroyer" founded the black rock clan and leader of the horde!....A Raider of the Sythegore Arm, and one of the most respected warriors in the Horde, Blackhand became the renowned chieftain of the powerful Blackrock clan on Draenor. Known as a tactical genius and a ruthless dictator who demanded respect from his warriors, his ego and lust for power made him very easy to manipulate — a fact which Gul'dan discovered very quickly. Through political manipulation and by stoking the embers of Blackhand's ego, Gul'dan was able to convince the Blackrock chieftain that he was a respected equal in the warlock's dark scheme, both the public leader of the Horde and a member of the secret Shadow Council; he was in fact merely a means to an end for the evil warlock.
