The infamous Barrens. The Crossroads, wherein the player fights Grommash Hellscream, was an opportunity for me to create a 3D environment without a concept already in place. It went through a few iterations before settled on a final look, as did the terrain style for the Barrens itself. We wanted to avoid making an all yellow grass zone like the one in World of Warcraft. I opted to make the terrain warm and vibrant.
