Looking forward to today’s Heroes of the Storm launch? So are we — and so are tons of fan artists. To celebrate the game’s launch, we rounded up some of our favorite fan art for this week’s BlizzCrafts. Check it out (and tell us if there are any great Heroes artists that we’ve missed), enjoy, and we’ll see you in the Nexus!
Looking to accessorize your wardrobe with some subtle Heroes chic beyond what’s in the Gear Store? Serephitic makes these glow in the dark Heroes patches that you can iron on to just about anything.
If you’re working on your own artistic talents, this video will help you draw the perfect Kael’thas.

One of our favorite Warcraft artists just couldn’t resist sketching the latest Heroes of the Storm hero: the crusader Johanna.

The heroes in this game aren’t just the Blizzard characters you remember from your favorite games — with the right reskins, they become mad AU versions of themselves, like this Countess Kerrigan cosplay from BlizzCon. Of the cosplay, the creator says:
Thanks everyone for the love of my @BlizzHeroes #kerrigan cosplay. I made it in a month so the fact that you think it's cool is rad.

If a small-scale Brightwing wasn’t good enough, it’s hard to beat this Brightwing cosplay Celestia made for PAX Prime last year!
