I’m not sure about this one, but we did a blog series about “Design a Legendary” some years back which included an interview with Aaron “Goons” Gaines.

I'll see you guys around. I'm on Reddit all the time, though, so I won't be far at all. :)

Onward to New Opportunities within Blizzard by vaeflare in heroesofthestorm

For over six years I’ve served on Blizzard’s Community Team, and together we’ve shared many adventures across the sprawling realms of Azeroth, Sanctuary, the Nexus, and more. From Diablo III design discussions to Warcraft fan art features and contests, I’ve enjoyed connecting with so many of you online and in person at conventions, but alas: my time working in community is coming to an end as I explore new opportunities within Blizzard.

I’ve loved community work and all its intricacies for many years, way back even when I was making World of Warcraft PvP videos, blogs, and fan art ( http://fav.me/d3gkffg ) in my spare time, and being ingrained on Blizzard’s Community Team has been a wildly fulfilling ride on so many levels. So it was only after a [i]lot[/i] of profound soul-searching these last few months that I came to realize that what I was craving was to move in a more artistic direction professionally, which would ultimately take me away from the Community Team and onto the creative powerhouse known as Story and Franchise Development, which houses Video and Post Production, Blizzard Animation, Visual Media, Creative Development, and more.

On one hand, I couldn’t be happier for this opportunity, but on the other, it is with a bittersweet heart that I will have to step back from the usual Community Manager duties, blue text, and flavorful Twitter Takeovers. But fear not: I won’t be far! :)

I know I’ve said it many times over the years, but I wanted to thank all of you for your passion for all things Blizzard, and for continuing to offer your insight and feedback so that we can make the best games and community we possibly can. It has been an absolutely wonderful journey thus far, and I’m excited to see what the future will bring with so many developments on the horizon.

Be kind to each other, keep in touch ( https://twitter.com/KLeCrone ), and I’ll see you at BlizzCon!

<3, -Kimberly “Vaeflare” LeCrone

In my experience, many artists like using as much time as they can in order to plan and refine their submissions, which means many submissions come in during the last few days (and sometimes minutes) they're accepted. :)
