The Nightmare

In a world without cookies there is only pain, corruption and decay. Claws grasping and tearing the mind. Welcome to the unending Nightmare.

I had the pleasure to work on this piece as a commission for the wonderful MorphieBlossom . Vector cutouts are quite fantastic projects and I'm always looking forward to work on a new one. I hope you like how it turned out. Thank you for commissioning me!

Keevan

One of the younger Draenei who have found their way to the Brigade is Keevan. Having arrived with the latest batch of refugees, Keevan immediately fell prey to some shady elements due to his relative inexperience and a hefty dose of naivety. He was 'rescued' by Zandri, a cleric from Orebor Harborage, which lead to a romance between the two. Only time will tell what role he'll play around the Brigade and what the future holds in store for him and Zandri. I have finished this piece a few months back, trying to scratch my portrait AND Draenei itch at the same time. I hope you like how he turned out!

Commissar Ulric

Recruited from the ranks of the Undermarket field officers, Ulric has joined the Brigade out of necessity. Having been captured in battle and held prisoner for some time had made any attempts to return to the Undermarket fold quite unlikely.

The shadowy organization has a habit of tying up loose ends and getting rid of anyone who might divulge its secrets. To that end, Ulric has eagerly worked with the Brigade wardens and officers to make up for his crimes, and later joined the Brigade as one of its field officers.

I have finished this piece as a bit of a crossover between Warcraft and Warhammer40k, two of my favorite franchises. We've always joked about Ulric being a commissar and.. well why not? The outfit suits him splendidly!

Beware the Sharp Claws

Among the more unusual members of the Brigade are a handful of Harpies, who have been rescued and nurtured back to life after suffering an injury at the hands of various enemies. Almost all of them are female, as male harpies are extremely rare.

There is an exception though - Mantis. Perhaps not as volatile as his female counterparts, Mantis makes up for it with his mercurial and mischievous nature. He's quickly earned himself the not so flattering nickname of 'Scumbag', however he just wears it as a badge of honor, conducting his various misdeeds with abandon.

If you meet him, watch out for the claws. They are really, really sharp!

Minerwa's Memories

It's been nearly 15 years since Minerwa joined the Brigade. A family lost, a new one gained. While her completely altruistic nature frequently sees her lost in trying to mend the health and lives of others, she returns to her own memories on a certain day in April. She undertakes a solitary pilgrimage to a forgotten glade somewhere in Silverpine forest and spends a day among weathered runestones that connect her to the past, sharing stories with the wind and the rustling leaves.  I have finished this piece last year, but never gotten around to upload it. It's been a while since I have uploaded a vector/tarot style illustration, so I hope you'll enjoy this piece!

The Tidemaker

It's been nearly a decade since Aja'Mon joined the Brigade. The young troll's expertise with water magic and ability to commune with water spirits have gradually advanced into true mastery. Gone are the times of quiet contemplation and tending to playful streams and ponds. Natural talent and affinity for water magic have elevated the young shaman at unprecedented speed. 

Living on an island close to the shores of Westfall, Aja'mon communes with the mighty spirits of the seas now. His new, powerful allies are proving to be an immense asset in helping to ward off any trouble that might come from the sea. The mercurial troll is also quite fierce in battle and is able to pummel their enemies with wave after wave of watery death. 

I have finished this piece as the final Brigade Christmas surprise for thory1984 . It took quite some effort, but working on the waves was strangely relaxing. I hope you like how it turned out!

The Tainted Felblade

Recovered after an especially vicious battle against a band of Bonechewer orcs near the Hellfire Citadel, this greatsword has caught the eye of Brigade's Artificers and Blacksmiths alike. It seems that a new, undocumented Fel based enchant was combined with a unique crafting process, that combined fel shards, gemstones and fel tainted adamantite produced a fairly volatile weapon that causes vicious wounds and leaves behind taint so strong, it can bring down even the mightiest of opponents if ignored.

The Tainted Felblade is locked away in the Brigade's vault for now, awaiting further examination and experiments.

Oh my, it's been ages since I've designed a weapon. I definitely need to get back to the arcane forge and produce a couple of new weapons and jewelry. I hope you like how it turned out!

Anger

Finn had always worked out how to bring out the worst in people, a man with the most punch able face one might call him. Inetris whose emotions had long died with his jolt to immortality had found a rise in the emotion called anger while listening to his voice. What will come of this only time will tell..

I had the pleasure to work on this piece for the wonderful @Arensica . The task at hand was quite amusing and playing with the expressions very satisfying. I hope you like how it turned out!

Welcome to House Vex

Vex Manor, the seat of House Vex, is a fortified complex hidden high in the Gilnean mountains. Outwardly looking like a gloomy fortress, the nobles of House Vex have made sure that the inside of the extremely spacious complex houses more than just barracks, armory, prisons, and torture dungeons. In recent years, under the rule of the three countesses, the facilities have been rebuilt and upgraded to offer as much comfort as possible, with a full-fledged spa being included. 

This, of course, happened much to the delight of the younger inhabitants of the House, among them Shakai Vex. One of the most prodigal Arcane Archers the Brigade has ever seen, Shakai brings passion and fire both into her duties and her private life, indulging in the luxurious facilities of the Vex Manor quite frequently when not using her arts to decimate legions of enemies. 

My love for horns, hooves and tails isn't limited to the Draenei and Tieflings, which reflects in me painting quite a bit of Satyr related imagery. I have decided to finally bring Shakai to the 'big screen'. I'd love to actually paint a battle piece with her flinging her magical arrows at something nasty, but this idea somehow took over.. for now. Would you accept an invite to Vex Manor? Too risky?

I hope you like how it turned out!

The Spire

On the coast of Eyrinburn, the waves lapped against stone. Ancient obsidian from a long dead volcano that had spilled its soul onto the surrounding hills and down to the shore. Once it may have glittered in the sun, but centuries of salt water battering it had built up a thick, dull crust. It was from that ancient glass a tower rose. Eternal Reverence Spire.

No one had ever been able to ascertain its origin. The tower had been there for as long as recorded history, perhaps longer. It stretched up to sky, the top lost to the clouds. The pale white stone sat in sharp contrast to the volcanic rock that supported it. Hundred of arched windows dotted the side in a curling pattern to the penultimate floor. Spikes protruded from the walls in a few places, terrifyingly dangerous. Occasionally along that path, a curved balcony stretched out into the open air. And why, even on exceptionally clear days, did it appear that the highest reaches were surrounded by dark clouds that made the unusual structure feel like a grand tree?. Though none held the answer, all who gazed upon the tower felt the power and grandeur of it.

The Spire had been the seat of the local arch magus. The seat of magical power for the entire region. This held true until roughly one hundred years ago, when the last magus eschewed the ancient guidelines of “balance in all magic, neither Glimmer, nor Gloom, else it will spell your doom.” He delved too deeply into dark magics that consumed his mind. His attempts to create defenses for the tower turned against him, bringing him to his tragic end. Since that time, the tower has been off limits, locked through arcane magics to protect visitors from falling to the same constructs that destroyed their creator. Yet those from the local village swore lights still appeared in the windows at night after all this time.

I had the pleasure to work on this piece for the wonderful TindomielSilverthorn who has entrusted me with painting a very special location - The Spire. I had enjoyed the entire process greatly and hope that you like how it turned out!

Thank you for commissioning me.
