Our good friend Boubouille at MMO Champion has a nice post up linking to some of Peter Lee's concept art-- he's been given the go ahead by Blizz to put up a few new pieces, and they are definitely awesome. If you've got the art book that came with the Collector's Edition of the expansion, I'm pretty sure you've seen them, but even if you have they're worth another look.
You can see some neat concepts of Nagrand, Auchindoin, and the Outland side of the Dark Portal, along with a few other expansion locations. There's even a piece of the new Black Temple (which we just learned about), and this cool pic above of a Tauren Shaman throwing down what can only be a Windwall Totem. Now, it could be Windfury, but A) he's solo, so it's more likely he'd use Windfury weapon, and B) He's still wearing Earthfury, so it's not likely that he's 64 yet for Wrath of Air, or he would have found better gear, and C) He's getting hit with arrows. If it is Windwall, that might mean he's the first Shaman who's ever actually found a good use for that one-- most shaman don't even have the icon on their bars.
Of course, maybe I'm reading too much into the art (I won't even get into the placement of the totems, which is clearly wrong). Anyway, it looks very cool. Enjoy.

Could be Grace of Air. You know, to dodge arrows.
Because Tauren are so graceful. *cough* ;)

Love seeing his Warcraft artwork. I own both collector edition art books and all of the pieces are amazing.

It could be grounding totem as well. You know to dodge a spell.

Yeah, I think you are reading too much into it. VERY cool pics though.

Awesome artwork! Really enjoyable to see. It's great seeing the imagination progression. I especially liked the landscapes! I am curious what mediums are used? More features involving art please!! :)

You'll note he's too cool to wear the Earthfury dress. ;-)
