These were the first interior spaces I had designed for Nerub'ar Palace! We were thinking of this idea of "dark Opulance"  where the sort of sharpness and violence of the Nerubian kit has this sense of elegance and beauty.

This was a concept of what outside of the Nerubian queens chambers could look like. Thinking about how to frame her chambers while also having a complimentary playspace that still feels distinct.

These were some of the first sketches I had done for the Palace design for the Raid. Wanted to imply that the queen was this evolved being that was far above the rest of the Nerubians. We ended up keeping it a bit more subtle but I was happy with these!

The War Within - Nerub'ar palace

It has been an absolute delight working with the vis dev team on the War Within!! Here's my contribution to the Nerubian Raid, Nerub'ar palace. The Nerubian Aesthetic has been one of my favorite parts of the War Within and so it's been thrilling to see everyone diving into the WoW and taking screenshots of Azj-Kahet!!!
