Description Woo!
This is (in my opinion) probably one of my best creations so far. Even though it's not comparable in size to some other stuff (other beadsprite of Illidan or Yoko), the size in combination with the complexity of all the colors, over 30, makes it quite challenging and tough to make. Ever since I found it, made by orkimides.deviantart.com/ , I wanted to make it. Back then I didn't have the amount of colors that it would require, but in the past months I've expanded my total number of color so much that I could finally do it! 

There's actually no part of this beadsprite that I'm not happy with. Maybe, just maybe, the yellow parts of the glaives could have been some other palette (light brown, similar to the fur (?) on his pants), but the design in HotS has a yellow/golden shine so it's all good. 
One thing that's a shame is that the picture doesn't really give all the detailed colors enough justice, so to speak. It's hard to tell that I used eight different greens or seven different purples, which is more noticeable in close-up. Oh well, I guess that's what you get when you have bad lighting in both of your rooms. Maybe I'll take a picture with better light at a later point. 
As a conclusion, the synergy between the purple and green are very strong (in a good way), so colorwise this piece is incredibly beautiful.
Ramble over!


~Some interesting facts~:
Total time time spent making this beadsprite: About 10-12.
Total number of pegboards used: 26. Nothing compared to other Illidan's 72, Sylvanas took 32, Yoko 46 and BRS 41. Still quite a bit though.
Width: ~76 centimeters (~2'5" feet)  
Height: ~73 centimeters (~3'5" feet)
Time spent ironing (both sides): About an hour or so!
Number of beads used: Roughly 11,5k beads.


The original sprite was created by the very talented Orkimedes on DeviantArt, and can be found here: orkimides.deviantart.com/art/H…
