Actually it was drawn by Mike Krahulik of Penny Arcade fame for the original WoW TCG. Funny fact, he stated in a blog post that the most frustrating aspect of playing Hearthstone is being killed by cards featuring HIS artwork (this includes Leeroy Jenkins at the height of his popularity).
Fan of knives - I have to second this. The gold version is probably the worst gold card in the game as well. It's satisfying in game animation kind of makes up for it though.
...can I just come out and say as interesting as the Black Rock Mountain concepts are, the art is just atrocious?
Seriously, nearly every one. Grim Patron and Dark Iron Skulker look like almost-finished WoW models, Blackwing Technician looks like she's from a Hearthstone coloring book, it took me a good minute staring at Dragonkin Sorcerer to wonder what the hell I was looking at and another two minutes of wondering what kind of human being could believe that's a finished product, and Flamewaker... I don't even know whats up with Flamewaker. And Core Rager looks like vomited Cheetos.
No complaints because I'm sure they'll make the game more interesting regardless, but yeah, they're ugly.
His right arm twisting above his head seems unnatural. Not sure what you're referring to.
The only way I can see it being unnatural is if you consider the part above his eyes as the start of his right shoulder, otherwise it seems pretty normal to me...
The perspective is kinda strange. One arm is either shorter or he wants so scratch the back of his head.

Fan of Knives. The golden one is even uglier and it doesn't make sense.
KoB looks kind of like a lion transexual to me.
Why Kirin Tor Mage? And Kidnapper is not supposed to be good-looking, but it's a well made card art wise.
Grim Patron is the ugliest one, its just a screen of an ingame model. Just incredible how bad this looks.
Echoing Ooze, Shieldbearer, Sea Giant and Mad Scientist(even when the pic isnt the worst, this just scares me) also looks pretty crappy.

Made me lol pretty hard.

Voidcaller. The arm seems badly drawn.
What about Quartermaster ? I mean, wtf. It doesn't even fit the paladin image.
Imp gang boss maybe looks weird, but his name just beats crap out of everything, so the card shines no matter what. :D

Hate Jim Nelson's gnome cards: Mirror Image, Shrinkmeister, Sacrificial Pact, Loot Hoarder, Millhouse Manastorm, Dalaran Mage. I dont mind any standalone card, but hate that 6 of them has the same copypasted ugly gnome with changed (not allways) hair color
I vote for the retarded lion!
Top-decking like a greek god since open beta.
Yeah. Looks like a barbarian.
no one mentioned the 2 gvg murlocs?
Check out my decks & feel free to make suggestions!
Or maybe it was drawn by a really talented artist so that it just looks like an ingame model.
No, I think noone did.

Holy Fire beyond any point of doubt.
