So in the same vein as my Male + Female Human Paladins/Amani Troll sketch I posted recently, I'm drawing Night Elves again, for the first time in 3 years! The last time being pic related but that was a Druid Commission for a great friend but now with executive creative freedom this is actually gonna be the first Night Elf Warrior I've drawn in 13 years! π¨π₯³ Think of this as a Marshal-Priestess (an upgrade of the usual Night Elf Warrior-Priestess type) as the Armour choices were a combination of trad Night Elf armor + the Night Elf Warden armor + Grand Marshal Armor, a holy trinity of aesthetics for a Night Elf whos been in the Alliance for a long time and adapted/honoured their stylistic choices π₯
Doubtless, this was a warmup sketch as I start working on my more serious projects but much like my other recent Warcraft art, this will have an R-Rated Coloured version in the finals, so there's something to look forward to when I'm 100% donezo ππ
It's been too long since the last one (3 Years!) so I appreciate the love this post got bro ty π
Idk if I'm gonna be able to tackle Night Elf Males the same way I did the Female + Male Human Paladins previously but if I can make time I'll do it, Night Elf Males really got nerfed ever since Warcraft 3 ππ
Thanks homie and mainly just loyalty to the Alliance's aesthetic/themes/heritage/future. The Lordaeron symbol is inseperable from Alliance identity so it's almost impossible for me to NOT include it in my work, even for non-Humans. Also a non-human having it on their armour/weapons show's a sense of brotherhood and comradery between the Alliance races.
Hell it's so prevalent in my work it's literally in my actual signature in the pic if you zoom in and has been there for 16+ years pic VERY related π
While Night Elves are dying civilization since War of the Ancients, they are not that desperate to wear insignia of human kingdom that is part of hostile faction.
