#world of warcraft #anduin wrynn #arthas menethil #honestly mostly this piece was just idunno like an idea without much thought behind it #it had a cute sketch so i continued adding to it #i think i was mostly still thinking about anduins mental state in shadowlands and how arthas had a part in that #blizz is very vague about how arthas is used to corrupt him so i mostly just do whatever i want with fanart #i mean i do that anyway but #Anduin is depicted as a child wearing the maw armor and chains holding a flower to arthas #and like i think a part of hte idea was anduin depicted as younger to more represent his innocence #but also that younger anduin carries more bravery and here he's unafraid to face arthas #he hands a flower not as a friendly jesture but more of a 'im better then you' but i struggle to explain that #Anduin trying to convince himself #even in hell #even in chains just like you #im still better #depicts how arthas's curse is still hurting the younger generations of azeroth even after his death (chains) #chose the death flower cuz its like ya know the shadowlands flower found in all zones #but that there is still beauty in death #aiofhafiaohad this piece is just alot of different vague ideas that come together to make no damn sense #Honestly nonsensical art is fun would love more nonsensical fanart #just fanart where its like...you vaugely get what they were going for but otherwise doesnt really make much sense #its fun to draw first and make shit up later #I learned how to 'think critically' about the imagery of art in art school and now i can just spew bullshit about my fanart its great #you should try it #I mean its not like im realllly making things up #is just that the art came first and then i used what i drew to put together my thoughts and thats completely valid for artist to do #somethings you better understand your feelings and ideas after you've let yourself create #thats why art is so cool
