World of Warcraft: Scourgewar

The Scourgewar expansion of the World of Warcraft trading card game released recently. I discovered that I have one illustration in this set, for the card "Oracle Talisman of Ablution." I say discovered, because this piece has an interesting history. It is now 12/09, and the painting for it was created...about 4 years ago now, I think. It was commissioned as part of the first World of Warcraft set, and was painted back when I was still living in England. The card was cut, the art held onto, and a use finally found for it.

It's a little unusual having artwork disappear for years and then suddenly appear. When I did them, right around this time of year end of '05, it was the same time as I began running. So in the time since I painted it, I have gone from running one very painful first mile, to a marathon and two half-marathons. That's how long it's been. In any case, I'll try to get the artwork up on the site soon. Unless you happen to play the game, finding a single card sold online is your best way to snag one of these.
