See these are the things that makes me appreciate what Blizzard does for their gamers. However, I do believe Cataclysm was an ultimate nightmare, but had amazing lore behind it. I'm glad they are implementing a new expansion with so many new ideas again. Feels like WoTLK all over again.

@Beefysteak: I hope you mean Cata felt like WoTLK all over again, as it was just as much of a train wreck. Hopefully Kung Fu Panda lore will save the day.(Not holding my breath, however)

Don't say stuff like that. It makes you a troll. This game rocks, and so do the cards. Great job artists!

Color me VERY surprised when I was sent a link to this earlier today. All this time of randomly checking to see if the results were posted, only to have someone else tell me the awesome news. XD

Many many thanks Blizzard!

Horde Christmas Carol? I love it! Good choices on who plays what Spirit!
The expressions on the Starcraft card make me jealous. I can't do that in my art yet...
Many congratulations to the creator of the 3D Deathwing card. That's awesome on a level I can't quite believe.

I have the cata art book. That drawing isn't in it. That's his drawing, and I find it sad that people are complaining that it sucks that he won because he drew a really good deathwing. That doesn't make any sense.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vodTm631OyE This video shows the card in 3D. The description explains a bit more about it.

Honestly, it's a cute idea, it's well executed, and it's different. I don't see any reason that shouldn't have been the winner.

Congrats to everyone.

First place: Cata art book? Did he scan this and color around it?
Second Place: I did not realize bad MTV art was prevalent in SC?
Third place: Of the three pieces, this was the better one.

Seriously? the anime starcraft one sucked. and that (deathwing) one came STRAIGHT FROM THE CATA ART BOOK! if i had known it would be ok to trace MY drawing like the first place winner did im sure i could have came up with something FAR better..

@Fleaman: If the "anime starcraft one" sucked, it wouldn't have won, right? P.S. Don't whine about things you don't like, it will not magically become better.
