ArtByCynaria - Lady Vashj

I feel like it's been a long time since I uploaded or even did any  artwork but in that time I have been working on something pretty  detailed and extensive.

For a long time, my friend,  Hooksnfangs, has been helping me with a lot of my art projects  with advice and outside point of view.  And so as a sign of thanks I  decided to do a gift art piece for them in the form of one of their  favorite Warcraft women; Lady Vashj.

I  knew that when I made this commission to ArtByCynaria that this was  going to be quite the undertaking both on their part as well as my own  but I had no real sense of it until I started it.  Not only is it very  detailed but there is also the aspect that there are multiple limbs to  contend with, such as the hair tendrils, the multiple arms, and hands.   Finally there's the jewelry and the snake tail.  Not to mention needing  to figure out how to do a background.  But, like I was always told when  it comes to big projects like this, try to take it one piece at a time.   So, after a couple of week sat chipping away at the various limbs soon  came the tail which took a couple days to do on their own.

Once  that was done, there was the background which I needed a little outside  help on.  So, after talking with Hooksnfangs about it, we figured that  doing an underwater scene would be the best.  So after looking at a lot  of underwater pictures of fish and sea snakes I went out to try to mimic  what I saw.  IT was almost done but then it was suggested to me to put  in some kelp in the background to make the background look a little like  Vashj'ir in Warcraft.  And with that, it was done.

My thanks to ArtByCynaria and Hooksnfangs.  Wonderful people both of you.

And  by the way, keep an eye on my YouTube channel to see a time lapse video  of the work it took to create this:  StarDragon77 YouTube Channel
