Quote: Our first step is doing little concepts on a whiteboard. This mostly looks like this and only has veeeery little detail. Its mainly getting the first ideas together.
After this, there are zone layout concepts. You all might now these from Blizzcon.
This is the point, where the first time, wowedit comes in action. Now, this concept will be remodeled in terrain and getting just colors painted on it.
As you can see, at this step, there is really no detail at all. Therefore now there will be low detail buildings and doodads added to the current state.
During this step, other artists make real drawn concept art, you may know from Blizzcon, the credits or the collectors edition art books etc.
This is also the step, where models and textures are created.
And then, the low detail terrain and texturing will be refined. This looks like this then. Time is from left to right.
After this doodads will be added and little things like the detail doodads or lightning will be added.

Quote: There is nothing special about it. Its just that I want to show how they do it (for people who are stupid) and how exactly it looks (for people loving official screenshots, they wont normally see).
