“Looks like the Sentinels did caught a rat.”
As much as I love Beurghes struttin’ and flaunting I wanted to approach Battle for Azeroth showing that behind the tight silks and gold and founts of power there is just an old, tired man that has lived too long but is not yet done. He has become addicted to arcane in the same folly manner as many who think they are strong enough to not affect them; thinking he could combine arcane and druidic magics freely – with nothing in the end of worth to show for it except a self inflicted hunger that never ceases.
But, he lacks a skill he needs to keep himself alive longer; unable to siphon mana as other elf races can. And needs to learn quickly if he is able to survive the few years he has left.
For this he has found two individuals to help him; @yung-rage‘s Mythandos, the Nightborne, both as a guide of Suramar’s founts of arcane and to eventually teach @star-spire‘s Ilyssae how to siphon and serve as Beurghes’ living vessel of arcane.
In this scene, Beurghes has come to visit the imprisoned Mythandos and offer to pay off his bail in return for a little bit of help…
A while ago I got an message asking about what I thought Nuuri, mother of Raakesh and mate of Velen, would look like. I cannot find that ask again in my inbox to respond, but I manage to do a quick sketch before work of the lovely woman. I want to continue working on this too I think it would make a great piece.
One of my fav things about Gandalf is, he can & canonically does Full Name hobbits when he’s angry like he’s their mum or something
important follow up Qs:
1) does it frustrate Gandalf that he can’t do this to Bilbo & Frodo with the same impact bcos they don’t have nicknames
2) does he do it to non hobbits
Gandalf, in the distance: ARAGORN SON OF ARATHORN
Aragorn: oh shit I’m in trouble
I think when Gandalf is pissed with Hobbits he reverts to the extremely formal Mister Baggins!
you’ve cracked it, that’s absolutely what he does
you know how mad he is based on how far back into your lineage he goes, consider:
Mild: Meriadoc Brandybuck! (last name only, you’ll probably live)
Mad: ARAGORN SON OF ARATHORN! (now your ancestors are involved, bad)
Murderous: THORIN, SON OF THRÁIN, SON OF THRÓR! (you are maybe about to meet your ancestors, via Gandalf… and not glorious battle)
I couldn’t help myself to make a beautiful mule breed based on the equally gorgeous mawari mules plus the Nightborne race! I still stand by that elves would see themselves reflected in the long eared donkeys and mules of the world and see them as a creature of equal virtue! I may design some tack to go with him as well
“What are you hiding…!”
- He is very handsome and adoptable!
