Sacrificed in a dark ritual by Kael'thas Sunstrider in the Purple Parlor because I rolled Need on and items that was a dubious Greed at best.

How do you die in the World of Warcraft? And let's be honest, did you deserve it?

Old wow was better because they let major characters look like shit. like someone’s supposed to be the son of the Big Bad and super uber powerful and has a six dimensional mind chess Machiavelli plan that you only get to see a little of because he’s a master manipulation and then you see him and he looks like this

Reblogging for all artists that follow me!

Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist). As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.

(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)

honest to god truest thing anyone's ever said on the internet

The harvest-witches of Gilneas, or druids as they are more commonly known, were led by Celestine of the harvest. She referred to their order as the “keepers of the old ways”. With information passed down through the ages, they used their knowledge of nature to live off the land and to heal those who were sick. This order was often looked down upon by many of the more upper class citizens of the city. Their worship of nature was much different than the beliefs of the majority of Gilneans who followed the Church of the Holy Light. Their rituals and festivals caused many concerned citizens to come forward, eventually pushing the harvest-witches to the woods to live away from society.

This wasn’t the first time that the harvest-witches had faced hardships. From stories passed through generations, it’s stated that their order was almost  “driven to the edge of extinction once before". It is not know whether or not witch hunts may have occurred to cause this, but we do know that many of the followers chose to part with their pagan ways. Those who kept to the old ways did so in private, away from prying eyes.

As the seasons passed, Gilneas struggled more and more to feed its people. It wasn’t until the crops began to fail that things began to look really dire. It wouldn’t take long for the entire nation to fall due to starvation. Rather than sit back and watch many innocent people die, Celestine and many of the other harvest-witches reached out to help the failing crops. With their magic, they were able to heal the land by calling upon the earth’s blessing to restore the harvest, preventing the entire fall crops from failing. After this, the people of Gilneas became more accepting of their practices, and many farmers even picked up parts of the harvest-witch lifestyle to benefit their land.

Gilneans honor this event with a week long celebration at the beginning of fall. This serves as a reminder of their survival from the famine. During this time they give thanks for the blessing of the harvest. For this week-long event, families prepare large meals consisting of local wildlife and seasonal fruits and vegetables. Small gifts of baked bread, jars of jam or honey, and dried fruits may be handed out as tokens of thanks to local harvest-witches. In return for these gifts, the harvest-witches would bless the land to ensure that the crops would be prosperous the following year. Though no longer a nation, many Gilnean families still practice these traditions despite being scattered throughout Azeroth.

My Gilnean folklore series takes from in game lore and is mixed with my own headcanon to create a deeper backstory for writing/roleplay.

Since Shadowlands is over, I decided to make a new post with generated color palettes featuring Dragonflight areas with Vel.

Feel free to use these as inspiration, and if you have any suggestions of where you’d like to see Vel, let me know.

I slip back into WoW every now and then, so since I wanted to practise more unnatural skintones I decided to paint my night elf warrior. Armor is made up, wanted to try and make something that looked NE inspired.

The step by step, hi-res JPEG and PSD will be part of my August rewards on Patreon!
