We're our own worst critics, and I grade myself pretty harshly. This one I did some months ago, I wasn't satisfied with the outcome. When I do revise, the client gets it too. Everyone's happy.

Wanted to get away from big budget rendering and try flats for once, plus proportion/anatomy/armor tweaks.
Sometimes the brain goes for a walk. I felt like making some kind of field diagram explaining how the cores work in the robots around Suramar. Nothing serious here.

Doodles. Loa? An ancestor spirit and a capuchin/macaque/marmoset sort of mingling monkey.
Phew, this took a minute. Background, no background. Something about the flowers wanted to be flat and graphic mostly. HMU for Zandali stageplays

Hi everyone.

Project Zandali is a personal endeavor, that has grown massively. Writing and number systems are done now - I've found a platform for making a solid .ttf; now I need a dictionary.

Something safe, secure and accessible with good visibility. I want this to be a community resource.
WIP of this rad ZANDALI MASK and some flowers. Working with some fun stylization and flow. Somewhere between rush'kah and men-yoroi.

WIP of some nightborne. TEN THOUSAND YEARS ON THE BEAT MAN SURE CHANGES YA

Various kinds of pen on cardstock. Sometimes I get after a more animated style.
Work ate my soul but I managed to find the time to finish him. The old man is done.

Making my own memes to save for Midnight
Not my most exciting composition, but he's ready for color.

Shavai's been overdue for art for a while, now.

❣️Guild hosted a spring celebration, Zandali-themed. Bodies danced. Blessings were given. Paint was thrown.

So much paint.
It was suggested to me by a sweet person that this might be of particular interest.

In the event you really like my work and want me to keep doing it, but can't commission me right now, or just... really want to toss something at me "just because", there is ko-fi.

You've never lived until you've strangled an enemy in combat like Brock Samson with your foot.
PROJECT ZANDALI

Language fascinates me. This is all conjecture and headcanon pulled from a scant handful of tablets, banners, stalls and my impressions/imaginings.

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm not claiming anything enforced or official. Just mental roaming. Logograms are incomplete, all WIP.
Better yet? Don't do it at all.
Using this opportunity to boost a PSA; Blizzard did Damballah absolutely dirty in rendition and presentation. If you're going to turn someone's faith into fodder for your slapshod fiction, at least stay true to it - especially with such a major figure.
Definitely more of an ornamental thing, yeah.

Thinking of ways to take a more impressionist approach in the future.
Maybe not a real place, but it can be real enough to me~

Cardstock, colored pencil, white pen.
