World of WarCraft

These are some screenshots from zones I made between 2000-2004 for World of WaCraft.  Unfortunately, the thumb drive that contains all of my screenshots from that project is missing in action.  So these are screenshots I found online.  Unless otherwise noted, I did the terrain sculpting, terrain painting, prop placement, and general layout.  I should note that in the World of WaCraft Cataclysm expansion many of these original zones were retouched by other Level Designers/World Artists at Blizzard.  I have generally picked screenshots to show here which do not contain any retouched work, so these represent the work I did for the original version of World of Warcraft, launched in November, 2004.  I make note below of anything that is not my own work.

The Gates of Ironforge-  Note:  I only made the exterior of Ironforge, the road leading up to the gates, and the surrounding mountains.   The rest of Dun Morough was made by Matt Sanders.  If you look closely, you can see on the right side of this screenshot where a different brown rock texture begins to be used.  That marks the spot where my work ends.  For the most part, this screenshot captures the work I did for this area.

Tirisfal Glades:  The Scarlet Monastery
Mulgore:  Thunder Bluff.  Note, the pointy mountain silhouetted in the distance was added by a different artist at Blizzard after the original launch of WoW.

Stonetalon Mountains:  Windshear Crag-  Note:  I believe some new elements that were added by another world artist are visible in this screenshot.   Specifically, the Orc towers and props in the foreground.   There may have also been some improvements made to the tree models that I placed in this area (not sure about this).
Un'Goro Crater-  Screenshot courtesy of MMO Champion.  I believe the prop with the crystals in the foreground may have been added by a different world artist at Blizzard.

Un'Goro Crater:  Tar pits.
