- I am Abelhawk! Hear me ramble! In this informal video, I take a look at the Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos Limited Edition DVD I bought for $9.99 (don't buy it-it's not worth it) so you don't have to! Included are pieces of concept art that you may find interesting.

when you talk about warcraft it makes me happy
Sorry if I sound awkward, boring, or depressed! It's just how I talk when I'm talking to inanimate objects, like a crappy webcam, without a script.
Abelhawk you are the best and ween are you ganna make another warcraft secret video
Abelhawk maybe you have to make a script first before you commented the video if necessary (just a reminder), also try to use a webcam
Was it not Nathrezim perhaps? @5:36
The Undead are very Egyptian-like. The ziggurat is an actual Egyptian building. The Ubdead got their architecture from the Nerubians.
And the Nerubians got their architecture from the Tol'vir. Which are very Egyptian like race with stone structures. The result of being made by the Titans.
Ziggurats are ancient sumerian buildings
ziggurats are older then egypt
Most of this concept art(not *all*, but most) can also be found in the Art of Warcraft book that came with the War3 Collector's Edition, which has very awesome stuff. The brunt of the concept art on Warcraft III was done by the likes of Samwise Didier and Trevor Jacobs(he did most of the Night Elf trees and Goblins), and occasionally some input from Stuart Rose and Chris Metzen. Justin Thavirat did the CG art for the game covers.
A lot of the text pieces like at 3:36 were usually written and thought of by Metzen and Samwise on the spot. Another cool detail is that the wolf/bear/raven sketch is a direct nod to the painting 'Allegory of Prudence' by Titian, a rennaisance artist.
Thanks a ton for that information! Awesome stuff to know. I didn't know there was an Art of Warcraft book-I just thought there was a World of Warcraft one. I may have to look into buying that sometime.
It collects a lot of concept art from Warcraft's entire history up to that point - that includes much of the manual artwork for Warcraft 1 and 2, but most of the book is very much dedicated to Warcraft III.
You sound so disheartened and indifferent when going through the art concepts compared to your enthusiasm in the videos for Easter Eggs 😢 But thank you so much for showing us all these, really love seeing what were in the dev's mind BTS. They initially planned for a Goblin race too, that's why there was so much effort put into its development, but guess it didn't work out after all. ❤️
rumor has it blizzard was making games for War hammer Franchise. something happened they ended up losing the contract. but still went on with making a game. imagine the war hammer games blizzard would have made =( o well
That wold have been cool
Are you still planning a video about the wc3 icons?
That's next on my list! That or unit dialog.
Abelhawk: Add frame
Me: wait when he tell the story and give me the quest
been waiting months for dis because I am way to lazy to look for these myself
poor abelhawk sounds super depressed and un motivated
Ha ha, sorry. I was afraid I'd come off that way without a script to read. I don't have the highest charisma score, as it were. :D Don't worry though! I'm happy inside!
Drinking game: take a shot every time Abelhawk says "some kind of"
9:47 the "antlers" look like bird wing bones
11:05 a goblin Segway?
just as the orc described them elves but to tall and savage
extremely interesting videos, good sir! just like many others I've been into warcraft since early 2000's, but I could not imagine there could be so much more to tell about the game I thought I knew everything about :-O
Hey Abel, thank you for creating the Warcraft III Easter Eggs series, I watched all the episodes and I really liked it. In general, I love this kind of content. :>
Hopefully, soon, you'll an idea for another series :)
maybe diablo.. ? or starcraft..
or even warcraft 1 & 2 but they are just too old
Yeah, I'd love to expand my scope of things to cover, but I'm just not sure how many secrets they even have. Now that Starcraft is free for download online, I may see if I can open the campaign files for those and see what I can find. The Starcraft map editor is a bit wonky, though. So we'll see.
@@Abelhawk SC2 you mean?
hey abelahawk have u tried any of the custom campaigns for warcraft3 made by fans? Any suggestions?
7:27 100% Metzens handy dandy orc drawings.
Yeah! His work is easy to recognise after owning Warcraft 2 and the manual 😎
8:54 I knew this looked familiar. This artwork was used for the warsong gulch loading screen on WoW

Whoa, you're absolutely right! I forgot about that!
9:20 druid holding Wildfury Greatstaff
I never noticed that! Good eye.
Keep up the awesome work bro,ill always support you
Some of the centaur and goblin looks might be inspired from Tureg
9:05 looks like Mephisto from Diablo 2
14:15 this girl looks like Ciri from Witcher, and this unicorn
Noxaron N good point
That unicorn is lucid nightmare now.
Do you have the "Art of Warcraft" book? It came with the Warcraft III collector's edition where your DVD also came from
I do indeed! It's got pretty much all of the art in this DVD only much easier to see. Wish I'd gotten the book sooner.
This is a old video but coooool man
5:32 The sepulcher can be seen here: www.scrollsoflore.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=39&pos=112
That's where it was! I couldn't find it to show on the video, but I'll put this at the top of the comments so others can see it. Thanks!
No problem, I wish to contribute as much as I can. Did you get my messages?
hey abelhawk I thought you were making Warcraft 3 frozen throne models part 3 spells
I will when I have time. I'm not one of those CZcamsrs who has a Patreon account and gets money for making videos, so I don't have very much free time on my hands between my job and family life. I'm glad you're excited for more videos though! Just be patient and rewatch my existing videos while you wait :D
Jeez i can see why it aint worth the price, still pretty cool though man
2:30 warcraft 2 svga gfx 😍
Another excellent video!
thank you so much for uploading this i would die for you
Yes bro
Thank you for this.
TİME to try hearthstone ?
thank you for you job. i really enjoy discover this video about w3 art work as i havnt dvd bonus
first time i see that. its very interesting for a fan of w3 to see that.
this make me joy to discover that and anslo sadness cause many of arts works are really good and non used on final games :/. expectially tree for night elves
but also is good that developers didnt make illidan with a katana sword it just look like as a jedi on the a.w. lmao
continue men !
Could you do more concept art
Hey i subscribed u but can u pls answer me how can i edit warcraft 3 frozen throne campagins
Bošnjo yeah i wanna know too
We Mongolians actually dont have hats like that and i dont know why you thought that XD
I meant ancient Mongols, like the ones led by Genghis Khan. :)
I think Warcraft 3 directors made strange decision to attract asian customers - from Japan and Korea primarely. That's why orcs and elves obtain ridiculous samurai -like outfit and weapons. This is so disappointing because Warcraft 2 was the precious jewel of medieval European art.
Actually, I blame that on Samwise Didier... he loves Chinese and Japanese fantasy culture, so he invented pandaren and put all that stuff in there. He was the one who did the Blademaster's voice, who's clearly based on a samurai warrior with a sashimono and everything, and has an Asian accent, which I always thought was so weird for an orc.
hi i now u wount see thia but i have some questions for warcraft 3 editor can i have some contact with u
I'd be happy to help out if I can. Post on my Discussion page on my channel.
Abelhawk how can i post on it
Patriarchal would be how NE were. The males had females under their care. Lol

You don't like Dragon Ball Z? To hell with you!
