Chumburger
Chumburger is a completely unofficial piece of World of Warcraft fan art — created purely out of love and gratitude for the game, and as a way of showcasing everything I learned during my time as an artist on the team.
This has easily been my longest-running personal project. I started it back in 2016 and worked on it intensely through 2018 and 2019, but could never quite bring it across the finish line. It only grew more ambitious over time, and as my skills improved I kept going back to rework parts of it.
In the years since, I’d pick it up for a week or two at a time before some smaller project pulled me away. Still, I kept coming back — and now, in the year of our Lord 2025, I’m calling this one done.
My deepest thanks to the WoW artists who shared their knowledge along the way — to my former lead Tina Wang, and to Denis and Jessica Rogic for their generous notes and paintovers. You have made me a better artist.
