Art tour of many of the cards that I've painted for the Warcraft TCG and Hearthstone between 2006-1019. I also have my Burning Crusade, Wrath and Diablo 3 videos already up on UA-cam if you're interested in watching those. It took me a couple of weeks to put together all of the source material for this video, but I wanted to cram in a whole lot of info, but still keep it short. I've also included a few stories of what it was like to work at Blizzard during that time and how the game was originally conceived, and developed from my perspective.

I recently began playing hearthstone and it’s been really cool recognizing some of the cards because I’ve watched you draw them
I always forget the importance of the thumbnail version of a drawing. I heard this sometime ago, but I got reminded by your video again! Thank you so much! Having art on tiny cards really makes you think about the contrast, values and areas of interest. Seeing how you tackle the colors and values on those cards inspired me. My favorites are Second-Rate Bruiser, Crushing Walls and Twisted Worgen. They are super readable in thumbnail size, plus the Twisted Worgen is a very epic drawing :P
Your warcraft art is amazing, so inspiring! Brings back so many good memories playing the game.
Amazing channel. One of the few youtube channels that is teaching true concept art. Keep it up!
I've only subscribed to you recently, I never knew you were an artist for Hearthstone. That's so cool :D
Your art - love it!
I love these types of videos!
So amazing!! These insightful vids of your journey are really inspring! As a beginner artist and a fan of concept art i consider these as gold mines haha
great video, thanks for the insight in the industry
Actually I'm really glad you talked about this because I literally watched a Hearthstone video TODAY and thought "Damn, that looks like Trent's work" and now here we are I guess? Weird
Love your art
Holy S#@t, I've been waiting for a video like this so bad.
Amazing stuff man! Inspiring video indeed!
I love your work!
Hey, I just bought Twilight Monk book 1 in PDF. ;)
Great Carreer!
Amazing! Thanks for the video.
Your digital artwork is incredible and you do it so fast! You always talk about the topic of drawing faster and I was wondering where I can find your tutorial/video on how you work up to drawing faster as it’s something I would like to improve upon. Thank you in advance.

Trent Kaniuga thank you 😊
Love your work, dude! Thanks for sharing!
Always awesome seeing your progression.
To be honest I still want to work a Blizzard. They just won't hire me! xD Maybe one day....
lol same, I'm a student rn, the idea of two artist doing half the illustration and then swapping is interesting, you want to do that together?
Good Job Trent 👍🏻 Jobs done.
Time to watch this
Why only 500s likes? Crazy!
And one piece for 3 hours??!! Crazier!!
Hey Trent ! I would like to have a question about portfolio styles...Next year Im going to graduate in my art university so I should put together a final concept artist portfolio that year (Im from Europe)... My first idea was to make a Blizzard like stylized one,cuz Am having lot of fun designing stylized fantasy props,characters and stuff...but as I noticed in the american and european market most of the game studios are doing photorealistic games... So what would be your advice to a 20 years old junior concept artist with zero industry experience ? I dont want to end up in a situation when the companies gonna reject me just because my portfolio is too stylized,even if Im able to make photobashed or realistic renders...
I know you not doing the comment corners anymore,but lets hope you will notice this... If you see this thank you for your time and patience and keep on with the videos !
I made a video about this topic already called "is style hurting your portfolio". My advice is to do the thing you love the most. Don't. chase after photorealism if you hate doing it.
YEEEESSSS, Hearthstone!
i work as a excavator operator in sweden and we have alot off presure on us too work fast but the amount off stress working for blizzard must be insane
Hello, Trent!
You are the best!
Thank you for all your awesome lessons!
Can you please tell me an idea or how can I find the Blizzard Art Guide? Thank you!
Every project at Blizzard has their own art bible. They also do not like to make them public, so you won't find them anywhere online. The best thing that I can suggest is to study the concept artists who work on the project that you are looking at.
Trent Kaniuga , Thank you so much! You rock! 🤗
It would be cool to get a prompt from you, Trent, and your community would come up with their own cards for Hearthstone or Twilight Monk to post on IG for you to judge. They could post their thumbnails and final painting
I love art and i love Hearthstone perfect video xD
So awesome, I was wondering how is the process of thinking A B C alternatives
when doing illustrations for companies like Warcraft(Example to make understand) : how do you manage image rights (copyright)? Will you make a video about this? Congratulations, you have a lot of talent.
Hey Trent, I found your content recently, and I really dig it man. I was just watching cyborg flame trooper, and wondering if you ever played lost planet one or two. It seemed close at a conceptual perspective.
I know you may have done this already but have you checked out Paintstorm Studio? Looks like a program you might really enjoy..
I'm looking at the video. It looks really cool. Love the flat 20 dollar price tag and customizeable options. Ill give the trial a test run. Thanks!
for those of us wanting to get into freelance, how many times is reasonable to go back and forth with an art director with WIP/direction feedback etc? how much is too much contact?
It depends on how you structure your contract and how much you want to work with them. I always decide on the number of iterations during the contract negotiation.
I just want to know how do I become a member of your art team? Or just one in the mix, starting an idea of a concept and molding it to a viable piece.
This is sparta get in the FRIGGIN rofl copter imma fire my lazor LOL
Did you, by chance paint the card "Murgatha"? And, if not, do you happen to know who did?
LREEOOOYYYYY JECKINNSSSSSSSSSS
Where is the sick intro music???
Idk if it has to do with what happened to mumbo jumbo
how can I join the community to draw for hearthstone cards?
at 4:20 i think thats in hearthstone... its called fist of jaraxxus im not sure tho
twilight monk world of warcraft npc and hearthstone card?
I got a Heathstone ad on this vid... ironic xd
how long its your courso about it on gumroad?
3 hours of guided lessons + several additional hours of real time videos with templates and specific breakdowns of layers and effects.
@@TrentKaniuga thank you again hahah you will have some promotion on black Friday or end of year?
@@TrentKaniuga not saying it's expensive, i think its a great opportunity that you even offer courses. I am from Brazil, here 1 dollar is equivalent to 4 of our money kkk so its bad to buy courses but good to get freelance. I planned to get that one that teach one specific thing that i like and can freelance so i can buy the other larger courses. Thanks for sharing and inspiring people all over the world👍👍
@@TrentKaniuga Thanks fot the promotion! just bought, soon i will be posting some art related!!
