These are the artists of which I have not seen any examples: Mark Beer,Chris Caniano, Steven Ciancanelli, Amy Clark, David Day, Diana Greenhalgh, Robard Jason Mendoza, Bennett Pisek, Eli Rutten, Mark Slater, Louis Small Jr., Matthew Warlick
Please advise if you have any of these artists
A challenge, right? It's an inexact art sometimes.
Lists from various places are often incomplete, and might include artists that only sketched one or two and haven't been seen. I generally do the sketch lists by compiling manufacturer and Scoundrel lists and noting when cards show up in box breaks or auctions. Often I find some that aren't on any other lists.
Warlord is tricky because some of the sketches were in Mystery Packs and some were in the Hobby release, and after the latter came out, the auctions didn't always specify. Some may be in future Mystery Packs. Here's a few I *have* seen from your list: Amy Clark (Hobby and Mystery), Mark Slater (Hobby), and Louis Small Jr. (Hobby). No sightings of the other artists you mentioned.
You'll often see a "*" by unsighted artists on my lists, which means it was reported to be in the set but I haven't seen evidence of one. (And of course I might have "seen" somebody if an auction or box break misidentified the artist.)
Sometimes artwork is on the planned list and doesn't make it into packs, and sometimes the cardmaker adds people to fill in the gaps
