Wrathion by ~peetcooper
is the original artist of that TCG piece
he has a website too
He looks absolutely manic/distressed in this piece. Like.. “WHAT HAVE MY HANDS DOOOOONE?!”
It’s rather unsettling.
“Come Forth Hero!”
“Nah man, I think I’m alright. You can keep your orange shiny things. You look like you might rip my troll’s tusks off and I’m fond of those.”
Yeah he did look sinister in that piece but I thought He got a little heady with power with all that happening to him when he got out of his egg: burst of energy within him, taking his first steps, awareness of Azeroth around him, and oh yeah … the independence is GREAT.
“mwhahahahahaha! OH! Something sneaking downstairs.. I will go hide in the corner and lie in wait.”
“And then nap! Yes! Nap! On a pile of gold! Like a proper dragon! AHAHAHAHAHA!”
“and oh yes there should be a princess. A dragon must have a prince(ss)!”
