For @zaethien and @veleanthe who have been supporting my art and showing me love for a long, long time. Don’t think I don’t see you.
I hope you like! If I got a detail wrong let me know and I’ll update it. (For instance I don’t know what Veleanthe’s tattoos look like outside of her shoulders and it was killing me lol)
WHAT THIS IS SO COOL, look at the Illidari friends! Thank you so much, and for all the excellent elf content you create 😈🖤
I been having way too much fun with one of the Rider-Culture’s many non-war-games, goat-pulling! Inspired by the game of the same name played by many cultures of central Asia throughout history and still popular today! Though because the ‘horses’ in this case have a little more opinion and propensity for wrasslin’ it’s more like football than the real world counterpart. It’s a very popular game with the Rider centaurs as it combines their two other favorite pasttimes- racing and wrestling, depending on who has the goat!
In more organized games the goal is to take control of a stuffed goat/sheep-skin and keep control long enough to get it into the possession of a family/herd mate that’s on the sidelines watching (or doing something else when they get pelted by a goat-pillow) though most casual games wind up just being basically keep-away until everyone’s wore out. There’s two ways it usually winds up going, giant wrestling pile free-for-alls like shown above or all out races after whoever has the goat at the moment, depending on how good the grip the Riders have. While wrestling is usually what it comes down too, a frequent winning strategy is just waiting for your opportunity, having your Rider cling on like a koala and running like hell. Using one of your littlest rider cousins is recommended for their light weight and killer grips, much to the auntie’s dismay.
I have a feeling there is not enough Darion and Anduin pictures on the internet. So i was thinking how communication between these two would look like. They would probably try to communicate on a professional level for a few months but then they would totally give up and start trolling each other like this (Anduin telling him to work on his diplomacy skills by sending him book about proper manners, Darion replying this way “I don’t give a damn”). Blizzard missed an amazing opportunity. Anduin has weird friends but I bet Darion would be another level.
Since this picture can be a bit challenging on different screens, I am putting here link for my Patreon where you can check bigger resolution than Tumblr allows me to do.
UGH I lost all the effort I put into the second page earlier today, so I just scrapped it for something cuter and simpler. Now it’s all finally done! Prince Renathal and my DH Taerus being bros™️
