Hi, I am Nox!
French scientist. 30+. She/her.
Storyteller.
Hobbyist 3D animator and digital sketcher.
My main projects include a Warcraft-MoP machinima (Untold Tale of Pandaria), and a webcomics (Last Rune).

Here is a cosy and safe place!
Welcome! 🐼💚

(My posts can have typos, sorry!)

Blue-haired slim orc, smiling. He wears a red leather outfit, a scarf and many jewelry and strips with orcish and pandaren runes.

A Pandaren brewmaster monk. He appears in greyscalr shades, while the energy (blue-water and red-fire) are spiraling around him.

A traveller facing a sea side. Floating lanterns are getting toward a tori. In the background, we can see mountains.

My WoW "trademark" NPC will be actually the most absent of Untold Tale... And I am very sorry about that!

(But you will see much more in other headcanon stories/projects, of course. No worries!)

Ohhhh, this is so cool!! :D
Such an awesome dwarf meeting!!!
Thank you for sharing the pictures!

QdNox @qdnox.bsky.social · 54m

I would suggest something you could translate into "Wind Rose".

Because it is the name of a dwarf metal band.
And a hammer is not what you have in mind as a perfect depiction of a rose,...unless you are a dwarf.

While Mei-Phang has never been that exclusive in love (they have/had several partners), they can relate a lot to Tyrande.
The whole Y'sera's corruption arc also punched them quite hard.

(The quest line of each part of the Broken Isles is well done but so long. But this one has a beautiful ending.)

Most of my characters do, even if it could be by default.
Only Han-zhu is still trapped in a sort of denial, which enables him to accept that nothing is fully as it used to be.

The Pandaren heritage armor is mentioned on a BattleNet post, with a vague description.
Panda is excited but a bit nervous!!

Hi, hi! Hello, Sir!

(Very late sneak-peek. I learned how to modify/redraw the lineart modifier)

A portrait of a Pandaren (Taran Zhu) in a painterly 2.5D style.
Taran Zhu is wearing a traditional-inspired meditation robe and a scarf )with a Shado-Pan insignia) in addition to his usual hat.
The painterly background depicts Kun-Lai mountains and part of the Shado-Pan Monastery.

Taran's nearly continuous fatal injuries during MoP reduce (a lot) his chance to beat Garrosh up.
But he lose because he is an idiot.
A Zhu.

Mei-Phang: Alright, let's get back home. I think we all deserve a nice and warm tea with pastries.

Taran: uhm...

Mei-Phang: ...?

Taran: I...uh. May I invite Cho to join us for the tea?

Mei-Phang: Of course!! Why are you even asking?!!!

Taran: !!!...

QdNox @qdnox.bsky.social · 1d

Do not mess with your lorewalker husband...
Do not play the grouchy bear in his presence.

#pandaren

Two Pandarens (left: Taran Zhu; right: Lorewalker Cho)
Taran Zhu is wearing his official Shado-Pan uniform. His hands are behind his back. Despite most of his face covered by his scar, we can see that he looks concerned and worried.

Cho is also in his official lorewalker outfit. Hands joined, he is looking at Taran with a malicious smile.

In the background, there is an improvised theatre/storytelling stage, with an orange curtain (with a stylized motif of a Pandaren paw) attached between two wooden poles. Floating lanterns are tied to each pole.
The illustration is made in a comic-strip style.

Quick stretch-sketch before a long coloring session.

It is bamboo day, and I have all my Panda Minecraft figures around...

So get a quick comics with Sha-Taran trying to befriend Lorewalker Cho! 🐼💚🖤

Sha-Taran angrily playing Minecraft on his console.
He is planning to hit a panda but misclick and feed it instead,
causing the panda to happily react with a few hearts.

Feeding Cho with bamboo!!

He is sitting on the ground, smiling and handing a bamboo toward Cho's direction.
The lorewalker looks at him with a puzzled expression.

Kirh have two brothers (deceased in WoW timeline, his big bro still alive in the comics)

Ji'sh: a twin brother, somewhere.

Tho: a big sister, and a few other half-siblings in the wilds

Xiang: beyond rumors about Cho being his twin, he confirms to have at least one "brother", alive.
