Along with Simwise Didier and Chris Metzen, Glenn Rane is an illustrator and art director employed by Blizzard Entertainment. Unlike the previous Blizzard artists I have covered, Rane's body of artwork is far more diverse. He creates "book covers, game box covers, magazine covers, concept art and patch artwork." To accomplish this wide range of work, he typically uses oil paint and Photoshop. Visually, his artwork may be defined as a comic book style approach with over-exaggerated figures. Furthermore, saturated colors are pervasive in nearly all of his works.
I'm really fond of Rane's work. His compositions are dynamic and his color-work is notably intense. Simply put, his work is permeated with a visually attractive style and a sense of "wow" derived from the exaggeration of his figures. In this respect, his work is perfect for book and game cover placement. It appeals to the fantasy gamer masses and delivers it in dynamic way.
