Description
I just wanted to quickly sketch out the scene where Meiles meets Yarifeth. Although honestly, I don't know how he could tell Yari was a blood elf, since she never made it to Outland, and therefore doesn't have the fel colored eyes yet. She gets those a few months later after she gets fed fel magic in Silvermoon. During her years in the Ghostlands she got her magic fix from Bloodthistles and the occassional Amani troll caster XDOf course, after I was done sketching this out, I realized that I could have narrated this scene with one illustration anyway! Oh well.
I need the comic practice anyway. My paneling skills are... well... non-existent XD
Anyway, just a little more background:
Yarifeth and Theras belonged to a noble family of Holy Priests and Paladins. Her entire family was wiped out by the attacks of the Scourge, leaving only her and her brother Theras.
They were among the elves who were with Kael'thas' caravan, until the humans betrayed the blood elves (when they left them to fight the undead with "sticks and harsh language" in WC3). Theras, thinking only about the safety of his little sister, decided to take her and desert the rest of the group, thinking that maybe they might have a bigger chance of surviving if they went back to Silvermoon.
However, he was quite wrong, and they were ambushed by the Scourge as they made their way back to Quel'thalas. Theras fell trying to protect the young Yari, who managed to get away but got lost in the Ghostlands and was forced to hide in an abandoned post. With her limited knowledge of magic (probably rank one smite, haha), she couldn't venture out too far on her own to find if other elves have survived, as the Ghostlands was crawling with the undead and forest trolls.
When Meiles found Yarifeth, she had no idea that Blood Elves have allied with the Horde. She was frightened to death at the sight of Meiles who she thought was going to eat her, since that's what the Amani trolls said they'd do to her when they almost caught her once.
Meiles probably had to endure a few more smite spells to his face before Yarifeth finally calmed down. Tame pet FTW.

Two questions: Meiles and Yarifeth are both yor chars, or someone else's?
And can you tell me Yarifeth's Age?
It's only becouse iw as writtin' a few scraps for my own Rogue BELF, and that would be useful if i found a comparision on another BELF. You don't find role players that actually role their chars very often, i can say

Yes, Meiles and Yarifeth are both mine Yari's my main, and Meiles is my alt. I have another alt, Theras, a Death Knight, who is Yarifeth's big brother.
I'm not exactly entirely decided on Yarifeth's age yet

You should. What a controversy, one is a fighter of the light and the other, a renegade of Artha's killers

I'd rather keep it rough. That way it leaves me free to work on more comic pages.

Haha I was about to ask what you meant by "near". But it's cool, typos are waaaaaaay different than bad spelling!
I'm still trying to find a nice font for it, though. Arial is too boring, and of course, Comic Sans is horrible. I need to go find some nice comic fonts that are not *too* comicy. Because WoW likes to use nice fonts (like in our mail, hehe).

I've been using a free font called "Manga Temple", and it's near perfect for the stuff I do. You can find it easily with Google, and it's definitely worth a try! Also, I find the font in the WoW ingame mail hard to read, but that's just me!

I will do more long one-pagers, although I'll just be doing key scenes in their story. I don't have the time and energy to follow their story in detail

Its probably a good thing they can't run into any of my characters

Haha I love comics too, but I haaaaaaate planning them out, and the fact that they are composed of many many drawings! Nyaaarrr. I didn't even have the patience to clean this up! I might do more comics on Meiles and Yari, but they'll all be sketchy like this one
By the way, I have to mention that it's your influence that got me doing these looooooong one-pagers! They're certainly easier to do than, say, four separate pages!

I used to do them a LOT when I was younger, like in high school up to early college. I still have the comics from before and damn, that's a LOT of paper. So yeah, there was a time when I was actually used to doing comics.
But I don't know, I guess eventually I lost the will to do comics, haha. Perhaps I can pick it up again sometime. But I really enjoy doing a narrative that's contained in one single illustration much more.
