Description
Submitting the WIP of colouring. I'm actually becoming more confident in my shading in the way I do it. Its a combination of soft and solid shadows, so it's partially cell shading. I dont blur anything, I just use a very large soft brush in areas. I don't want the soft shadows to be too defined, which I feel they become when you just use the blur.I still have details to put into the armor pieces, like Night Elf armor tends to have. I'm not very good at those patterns but I've been trying to plan them out.
STILL don't know what to use for the background.
Her armor is dark enough to look like a DK but she's still a priestess.
EDIT: I've now shaded the hair and added shine to places on the skin. This took me HOURS and I ache from leaning in to make sure I was getting the softer shadows correct and my hand aches too from working for so long D:
BUT I THINK IT TURNED OUT WELL.
EDIT2: Almost done the character colouring. Once the armor details are figured out, that will be finished up and then I have a background to do *grimaces*
EDIT3: Added the pattern details on her armor.

Would have been a couple months before Pandaria expansion storyline.

As son as I saw a reference to Pandyland, I had to take a look. 
Ha. I took a closer look at the picture, and noticed it was a pipe, and not a blade of grawss. My bad; but considering the farming on Pandaria - the literal farming of crops, and not in the usual, game-related sense, I think you can forgive me for that assumption.
A lot of the priest's garb does tend to run to the dark. It may be Blizzard's revenge on me, for questing my DK in Zangermarsh while dressed as a priest. I actually did that in a silly mood, so...
I like the details; but the background, being dark, does not much resemble Pandaria.

It's not suppose to resemble pandaria. The background, for one, isn't finished of course.
But if it was finished it'd likely be forsaken land. Sorry the title is likely misleading. It's not suppose to read "in Pandaria" as in the -location- pandaria but as in "During the Pandaria warcraft timeline" It's not finished anyways. I'll change the title so it's not misunderstood, though.

I did wonder about that.
Of course, some things are rather interesting too. I found out that the one large quest chain through Silverpine is partially phased. The reason I know that is, those Alliance attacking the Sepulcher that time, paid no mind whatsoever to the Dark Lady, though they killed all the other quest givers.

That's been suggested before, however due to the circumstances in her current story, she's very unlikely to have been in Winterspring or anywhere else Night Elf. She's more likely to be in a forsaken populated area.
Specifically a small town or abandoned house somewhere. Problem is deciding specifically what location and setting in those areas >:
Like..to do a specific setting from the story or just general expanse of mountains or dead trees..idk.
Maybe a dead forest with evidence of blood smeared against one tree in the background..
