Description Decided it was time to draw them after reading Stormrage :3

My other entry was for the contest but I didn't feel it was near done so I kept going after the deadline but left my others submission alone and not updated since it was for a contest.

I felt this song fit them very well, and if you have read Stormrage and recall the epic storm scene towards the end, you can see even more why

I kinda wanna write up a little role play for this image, does that make me a dork? LOL

Rain comes down but he holds the mountain,
Blue like sky, can you tell me why
he sports him this way a child at play
open up my lips but whats there to say
Come play, come play
as the river runs down as the river runs through
as it runs through the field with all his companions
this is the scene of the most enchanted
I am a drunken fool, drunk off the love that holds up the moon
Drunk off the love that binds me and you to the most high

Just close your eyes and hold me
No harm will befall you, thats what is spoken true
when I turn down the Volume

Time has come to speak of this love
spread your wings of your song and soul
to maintain internal heights above
close your eyes and feel it unfold

rush like a river from the highest mountain
drink from the fountain and stop your counting
what kind of wine does he have in his tavern
oh so enchanted and sing like a mad man
mad with the love of a wife for her husband
child or mother, sister or brother
rain and the thunder the rain and the thunder
sing for the most high sing for no other
we are all notes in this eternal song
God play his flute and we all dance along

Just close your eyes and hold me
No harm will befall you, thats what is spoken true
when I turn down the Volume

Hold up the sky, no asking why
How can we know if we don't even try
Hold up the sky, no asking why
How can we know if we don't even try

Just close your eyes and hold me
No harm will befall you, thats what is spoken true
when I turn down the Volume

I think I got spoiled by reading your commentary on your artwork... I didn't read Stormrage yet... Even though it's becoming clear in the war of the ancients book 2... Great artwork. I love everything except the side (face) of Malfurion. In my eye it doesn't seem right. But overall it really awesome.

I really love this image, the feeling and emotion is brilliant. The only thing with it that kinda irks me, is Malfurion looks... Well, feminine.

nanecakes In reply to Kc-mishi [2010-03-11 04:57:15 +0000 UTC]

Thank you.

Yeah, my men tend to lean more feminine, this is just part of my style. I probably could have bulked him up a bit more, but when I had him sketched that way he seemed to be too massive in comparison to Tyrande. A group image would probably be a bad time for me to experiment with that simply because I already have the complexity of getting them to be on the same scale I guess. I actually tried to make him more masculine than I have men in my past images by making his nose more sharp as opposed to delicate and curved. Texture to his skin may have helped as well. I may go back and play around with textures on his skin to make him a bit rougher around the edges as opposed to the soft skin on Tyrande. Thank you again for taking the time to comment!

Beautiful
I've not read it yet, unsurprisingly -.-
Think my room is full of towering stacks of books atm.
There's a lot of emotion in this however, and I feel inspired to do something now as well

Thank you!!

When you get a chance you should check it out It was worth the read even if you don't like the authors writing style. I know how you feel tho! Takes me forever to get through books!! I can't wait to see if you do something :3

Ohh I haven't read that one yet, I read the war of the ancients with the Stormrage brothers in though. One crit, I seem to remember Malfurion has silver eyes not gold, wasn't it Illidan who had the gold eyes?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nanecakes In reply to DivineTofu [2010-03-11 03:29:08 +0000 UTC]

It just came out in February! You should check it out The feel is a little different than War of the Ancients, less battle, more emotion and talking I guess. Illidan has gold eyes (that he was born with), and at the time of war of the Ancients, Malfurion had silver, but in Stormrage he is described as having golden eyes for being such a powerful druid now. He is also depicted on the cover has now having golden eyes. Alot of druids according to this book have had their eyes change from being a powerful part of the dream. Broll Bearmantle even finally has his change to show his "power" as a druid. In retrospect, I should probably lighten Tyrande's eyes and make them less blue, and more blue silver >.< They seem a bit bright like a deathnight atm

This is just so beautiful, and really captures the love between Malfurion and Tyrande! The song you mentioned is very fitting, too.
I loved Stormrage so much... amazing book

Thank you very much!!

I enjoyed Stormrage also!! I tried hard to capture the tender love between the two and at the same time the sorrow Tyrande feels each time he must part from her to enter the Dream again.
