This is my friend :iconmandeh:'s RP character "Ahlis Starbanner". She's really beautiful... and might I say... a real ice queen. Though what I like about Ahlis is that she comes across as well... an uppity snob... and somewhat cold hearted... but her personality is very layered and she's not quite what she seems.

This picture is supposed to represent inner turmoil as she's standing on a balcony overlooking Dalaran.

You'll notice that some of the buildings look fine and others (particularly the far away stuff) are still in ruin or are cracked... and that Dalaran is missing it's many tall spiring towers. This picture is supposed to take place several years after the third war, and is also inside of the Dalaran bubble, where part of the city has been restored in the years after the war... while part of it is still in ruin.

Also... I think part of the inspiration to do this piece also came from the rejection Ahlis felt when she finally allowed her heart to open to someone.

Ahlis is from the house of Starbanner and is a quite powerful magess!

The detail and illustration of a young lady looking over Dalaran thats a rare sight. The colors seem to flow well and add a sense of future peril of what is to become of the town.
Being a Warcraft/WoW player Im impressed greatly that even the gaming community is actually merging with art as it has but careful details are also applied. :D Kudos

Fabulous! I love the richness of the color of her clothing against the starkness of the town. Your comments and explanations of the scene and the character really add a lot to it. Thanks!

My goodness, you've done it again!

I absolutely love the details you put into your backgrounds. I find it very hard to depict populated landscapes, myself, and I admire that you can create such beautiful ruins. I like that you can see the solid, restructured buildings up front, but the ruins are still visible in the background. It's like, the background is fading, but it's still there-- a sharp reminder of the past.

Your details in the character is also very stunning. I've always loved the expressions you've drawn for characters, and they always fit well with the story you're trying to tell. Very nice, as always. :3
