Summary

Artwork by Chris Metzen. 1995.

This piece appeared on page 29 of The Art of Blizzard Entertainment with the following commentary:

"The play dynamic of resourcing and getting gold, getting oil, getting whatever to fuel your fleets was such a big part of Warcraft II. It's funny looking at it now. It's not like anyone asked for that drawing...it's just what was going on back in the day." —Chris Metzen
"You look at that and because it's a black-and-white image—is that blood or oil floating in the water? And the best thing about this image is in the upper right-hand corner, that orc getting tossed." —Samwise Didier
