Description Yes...another Holobo picture

Any Azerothian explorer with a mind for the dangerous slopes of Mount Iron would have found this sign, and would thus know that it's not covered in snow, but do allow an artist her aesthetic incorporations...

Like the falling snow? My first attempt; I don't know if it looks sufficiently mobile or not.

Cropped and shrunk and otherwise mutilated.

I wish I knew how to correctly compliment you on your piece, but sadly I'm more a writer then a artist. The thing I love the most of this picture though are the facial expressions everyone has. They all seem to be thinking.."so...yeah...which..ah...way do we go?" lol Its a lovely piece. Forgive me for the rant.

YAY!! Is that bunny dead or alive? ^^ I see lots of poor slain rabbits... but that one appears to be alive... >>;

Cute drawing. Those signs never really helped me.

It's alive, just tired. I tend to draw dead things lying on their backs with their feet in the air and Xs for eyes.

Woot, Warcraft, the killer of lives.

Anyways, I love the whole pictures. The whole thing seems so smooth.

I don't play WoW, and know almost nothing of its universe... but I am amused by her amusement, and by the whimsy of the piece.

Thanks WoW has a lot of jokes inside it...and I mean a LOT of jokes. It's a very funny game. If it was serious like everquest I think I'd never play it >.>

How COULD you make snow look mobile? I mean... it's just white fluff, hehe.

Anyway, beautiful picture. I really like it...

Thanks! Yes, the bunny was a load of fun, but in-game I ended up vendoring it for bank space...let's hope he finds a better home with that shady-looking goblin merchant.

The colors and shading on this are awesome. When I first saw it, I imagined it as a panel in a comic. It's so clean and crisp, and the character designs are great. I really love the elf's outfit a lot. Those gloves look insanely fun to wear.

I'm really into the snow. It looks perfect to me. Perfect size, perfect movement, perfect glow.

I thank you miss Applefritter The gloves I drew are a far cry from the actual in-game gloves, which look like big, awkward dog toys. I drew them as sleek and practical which is how they -should- look...she is a ranger after all. *grumbles*

I experimented with the blur options for the first time since my tenderest Photoshop years...it felt dirty, but so right.

I really like the snow, actually. And I LOVE your bunny wabbit style

I wrote "I love your pizza" first time around though. I'm in San Fran at a devmeet and we're getting food

Snow patterns tends to be more swirly than straight, even in the wind. Everything else looks great though : D

You're right D: A couple people mentioned this to me and I did some research on it to be sure... I feel so ashamed. This shows how often I go outside in the winter

Hahaha, I like it! It's like the cat from Alice in Wonderland with the confused directions.

I think the snow is perfectly fine! I only peered at it carefully because you pointed it out, otherwise it looked perfectly natural and fit the image nicely. The whole thing is so soft with those muted, low-saturation colors.

Love all the accessories (including the rabbit if that counts as one ) and your attention to detail on the outfit is wonderful!

Ah oxy. You and your fancy words like "saturation" <3

Skeeze [2006-12-31 02:54:35 +0000 UTC]

The snow looks fine, but the image would look more believable with some fog or wind in the background. The ambience may be relaxed, but there is still a sky during the winter. The white also seems to be hiding some of the snow. All of this might be good, unless the image was primarily intended to show whiteness. Reagardless, I do like the picture. You did not mutilate it.

I hope this idea helps a little bit.

Thank you, that is helpful I was tempted to put in a muted sunset but I decided to go minimalistic instead..

You're welcome. The minimalistic style still looks good.
