Figures, it’s a WoW statue, and an Orc too! (I wonder what the Alliance has to say about this? heh)

I still think Diablo, a hydralisk, or terren would’a been cooler.
Buuuut at least now I know where all those WoW players money is going towards. haha tongue wink

It gets too ridiculous though. In the game itself, you see pictures where a single thumb is bigger than the entire head and neck. I can almost understand sometimes why people over react with fears of WoWism spreading into d3. The WoW artwork really is that bad.

After watching the movie I think the head is a little bigger than the hands. The right hand is closer to the camera and the left one is holding a hammer.

Well I’m pretty sure exaggerated features in the D3 graphics is just something those of us who dislike them have to put up with.

It’s an orc wolfrider since it’s their legacy from WarCraft I…

As for the art style, I’m pretty sure they are well aware of that there is different style in their three different franchises. When I talked to Samwise the first time, we discussed this a little, and he mentioned there are different mind sets you need, depending on what game you’re making art for at any given moment.
