Description
The colored version to the sketch in my Scrapbook here: Two of the toons I play in WoW: Alexiuss the Forsaken mage and Aendimyon, the Blood Elf paladin. I mailed a lot of gear and goodies between the two, and for fun, started an RP correspondence, so the two developed a decent friendship. It's a shame I can't play both at the same time.Quite a few levels have passed since the first sketch, since the coloring took forever, and didn't scan quite right (grumble).

Hee-hee, now I see why Alexiuss has a thing for the Dark Lady's complexion! Excellent coloring - it really makes the two of them look 3D. Love how Aendymion looks so pink and healthy in comparison to his mage buddy. 
Love the little details like Alexiuss' ragged sleeves. why is it any shirt or pants equipped by a Forsaken automatically looks worn out and exposes the knees and bony elbows?
The detailing on the flagons really works well! 
Jiro: "Aye, it is very difficult to look stylish if you are undead."

Thanks! 
As for clothing, I've only recently witnessed how horrifying some clothing selections could be. At one point, it looked like Alexiuss was a New York tourist in Florida, complete with shorts and black knee socks. Even more recently (two days ago), Aendimyon fell fashion victim to some even more horrifying leggings. A tabard only somewhat alleviated the embarrassment.

Oh gods, we ought to do a couple of "Fashion Atrocities of WoW" 'toons sometime. Shirobe was running around in a most unharmonious ensemble a couple levels ago. Blue pants, red robes, yellow shirt, purple cloak, Whitemane's Chapeau - a shocking red cardinal's hat, and green boots. She was a bloomin' rainbow.
The Forsaken New York tourist sounds like fun, too!
Somewhere in the game is the "Bloodspattered loincloth of strength", my original paladin Frith got it as part of a drop from a monster. It has great str bonus and so she happily swapped her old mail shorts out. It is basically Red Sonja's mail bikini shorts with a bit of fur thrown in for show.

Aendy looks like he's wearing, um, bamboo chaps with nothing underneath but his skivvies. Thank the Old Gods for his tabard.

You and I know if it was a g-string with enough plusses to our stats, guess what?
Herumor: "Awright! +450 str and sta! Equip that puppy!" 
Arthas: "My former death knight, you appear to be... pantless." 
Herumor: "Nope, says right here, G-string of Thrashing equipped in the "legs" slot." 
Thassarian: "Err, a bit warm in here, isn't it?"
Koltira: "Hoo ha hee, what?" 
Aendymion: "Hey, this monster dropped a "Bloodspattered Loincloth of Strength"!"
π: 0 β©: 1
Koltira: "How can something like that have any armor value?"
Thassarian: "Maybe it unsettles the enemy so much, they can't hit straight."
Herumor: "Hmph. That's just sour grapes from the both of you."
Alexiuss: "Surely you don't intend to equip that loincloth. elf."
Aendimyon: "Are you kidding? Look at the armor and strength bonus! I'm putting it on right now."
Alexiuss: "All right. I'll get you a mirror."
Aendimyon: "AAAAAAAAAAAAGH! WHAT THE EVER-LOVINGβ"
Alexiuss:
Herumor: "Well, we can see why he was so popular with the female death knights..."
Aendimyon: "WHERE'S MY TABARD?"

This needs to be drawn... really! Wanna do a collab? I'll do Herumor if you do Aendy in their cool new kit and we can combine 'em. I could try a pencil-rough of the initial poses if ye like? Horrified/laughing bystanders optional.
Aendy: "What th' -- GET THAT CAMERA!!"
Shirobe: "Hee-hee!" 
Herumor: "If ye've got it, flaunt it baybee!" 
Arthas: "Um, my scrying-globe is fogging up." 
π: 0 β©: 1
A collab it is! Send the rough on over!
Aendimyon: "GIMME THAT CAMERA!"
Shirobe: "Nuh-uh!"
Aendimyon: "Grrr..." *Exorcise* *Purify* *Any other Paladin-type zappage he can think of*
Shirobe: "Tha's okay. I got another one."
Arthas: "Wha-? My scrying globe just melted..."

Sent off to ye!
Remember the art of Mike Grell? He did Green Lantern way back in the day, and then a series titled "Warlord" with a sword-and-sorcery hero who always had the most minimal "armor" of a male warrior I've seen. Great eye candy.
Hee-hee, evil thought --
Arthas: "What is this you have brought me, my death knight? "Woad of Epic Stompage - leg armor"? Excellent pluses!" 
Herumor: "Equip it baybee!" *cough* "Er, my Lord."
Thassarian and Koltira: 
π: 0 β©: 1
Got it! Hee!
Yeah, I remember Warlord. He had grey hair and a goatee, right? And tight black undies.
"Woad of Epic Stompage..." Ha!
Arthas: "I feel a distinct chill."
Herumor: "I don't."
Koltira:
Thassarian: "Why is there now a mosaic over his male bits."
Blizzard Moderator: "Cuz this universe is rated for teens."

I am SO fighting the urge to do a nice bishonen Arthas looking Mad, Bad, and Pantless. 
π: 0 β©: 1
Why are you fighting this urge? I have to ask.
I still owe you that other pic. My ride to SD arrived just as I finished scanning it and I didn't have the chance to send it.
π: 0 β©: 1
The scribbly sketch I did today proves the urge is winning.
No prob on the pic. Send when you can and we'll commit artistic mayhem.
Arthas: "Fear my invincible blue-painted power!"
Death Knights: 
Herumor: "This... isn't some new Scourge dress code, is it?" 
Koltira: "More like an un-dress code."
Thassarian: "Maybe we could find him an epic-level kilt somewhere?"
π: 0 β©: 1
Koltira: 
Arthas: "Oh?"
Koltira: "Look! The Long Bathrobe and Fuzzy Slippers of Totally Epic Whompage!"
Arthas: "Even I am not so blinded by bloodlust as to fall for that."
Koltira: "Look at the armor and strength values, plus the casting bonus..."
Arthas: "On the other hand... Gimme those!"
Thassarian: "Never thought I'd see both skulls and fuzzy bunnies as a design theme..."
π: 0 β©: 1
Am also envisioning bunny slippers, but with bunny death's heads. Too sick. 
Thassarian: "The ghouls are starting up a chorus of "I'm Too Sexy for my Shirt".
Koltira: "My, my look at the time! Gotta run!"

I s'pose even the mighty Lich King wants to feel comfy occasionally, only...
Arthas: "WHO DARES ENTER THE DOMAIN OF THE LICH KING? PREPARE TO MEET YOUR--"
Bolvar: 
Arthas: "..."

Arthas: "Dang! The doorbell broke again!!" 
Siouxie the Banshee (yes, she's an in-game NPC): "My Lord, it would help if at least the slippers were dyed black." 
Bolvar: "I'll return when you are no longer... indisposed."
Arthas: "GRRRRrrrrRRR!"
π: 0 β©: 1
Arthas: "They were supposed to be ice-blue, but they got washed with the reds."
Bolvar: "Yep, you keep telling yourself that."

Koltira: "That's what you get when you let ghouls do the laundry."
Arthas: "I HEARD THAT!" 
Thassarian: "His skivvies are pink, too."
Bolvar: "Time to go, methinks... but I'll leave the Victoria's Secret catalog."

Gah, this needs drawing. Now if I could get off the computer...

Hee-hee! Glad to be of inspiration, even if it is of the chaotic evil kind.
Captain: "I don't know, but I think Victoria's Secret is more Neutral."
Ghoul: "Bozz, you want lights separated from darks?"
Arthas: "I want everything BLEACHED, dammit!"
Tirion Fordring: "Sorry, Pink Boy, but you'll have to get that from the Argent Dawn, we've got the corner on purity."
π: 0 β©: 1
Sunset: "It ain't Neutral if'n ye use it right."
Captain: "What?"
Cazz: 
Captain:
Sunset: "Hey!"
Cazz: "I think this one here would really flatter you..."
Sunset:
Tirion: "Well, we'd better leave you to your laundry, but first..."
Arthas: "HEY!"
Tirion: "Can't wait to show this to the rest of the Argent Dawn. We have a newsletter."
π: 0 β©: 1
Cazz should get an Achievement for "Epic Distraction".
And the thought of an Argent Dawn newsletter giggles me greatly.
Arthas: "Tirion, you are DOOMED I say! And... say, who's the elf-girl in the Frost Wyrm bustier?"
Sunset: "Yep, it does flatter me."
π: 0 β©: 1
Hee!
Cazz:
Sunset: "Yer not hard on th' eyes either. Wanna closer look?"
Arthas:
Tirion: "Ooo, another shot for the front page!"
π: 0 β©: 1
Heh, alas, Arthas IS easy on the eyes, even if he is "mad, bad, and dangerous to know".
Arthas: "I think I may have a pair of black dragon hide high boots in storage, if you'd be so inclined."
Sunset: "Oh, let me try 'em, luv."
Arthas:
Tirion: "Whu... whoa."
Caz:

Arthas: "You can have them if you just keep wearing them like that..."
Sunset: "Well, thankee, luv!"
Tirion:
Caz: "It wouldn't make any difference if she did."

Went to Youtube over the weekend and watched some of the videos concerning Arthas... he's a messed-up puppy and no mistake.
Tirion: "Distraction only goes so far, wait for it."
Arthas: "Such lovely perfection with only one minor flaw."
Caz: "Don't ask--"
Sunset: "Really? Do I 'ave a run in me stocking?"
Arthas: "No, my dear, you have a heartbeat." 
Caz: "Whoa Nellie, that's one big sword."
Tirion: "It eats souls."
Caz: "Greaaat."
π: 0 β©: 1
Yah, Caz's speaking from personal experience.
Caz: *GLOMP!*
Sunset: "!!!"
Caz: "On my companion's behalf, thank you for the lovely boots. We'll be going now."
Arthas: 
Tirion: "Time to follow his example. Enjoy your adorable new lounge wear. Toodles!" 
Arthas: "Some days it just doesn't pay to rise off the Frozen Throne."

Given the way he fell down the rabbit-hole, I'm wondering how he managed to be a paladin at all. 
Anakin: "Look, if you're gonna go for it, just go for it!"
Voldemort: "I'll give him points on style for the sacking of Lordaeron - pinning his sire to his throne was a nice touch."
Toruk: "Chaotic Evil, tch! No discipline." 
And for some reason Arthas' parting words about the "Frozen Throne" made me think of a toilet carved of ice. Talk about "sticking to your work!" 
Check out this short YouTube vid of Frostmourne's sister weapon Shadowmourne: [link] It's a quest reward, and about as scary as the Lich King's own sword. The whispering voices would make me mad as a hatter after awhile.

I wondered myself how Arthas managed to make paladin. He didn't have the discipline or the attitude. Maybe Terenas pulled some strings? Then again, some of the organization around the Light doesn't comprise the most savory of characters. I love the priestly "literature" the DKs pick up from some of the drops.
Yeah, that blade would make me nuts. The Lich King's constant nattering in Acherus and thereabouts is a bit annoying too.
Kelvaldis: "Why do you keep taunting the Scarlet Crusaders now? They're all dead or converted."
"Frozen Throne?" Hey, he didn't move for five years. Probably needed something...
Arthas: "Is this levity at my expense?"
All: "Nope!"
π: 0 β©: 1
Maybe Arthas had to go to Remedial Summer Paladin School to make up for all those classes he cut. And he *Still* didn't absorb the lessons! Did Tirion or any of the "named" paladins have anything to do with his schooling?
Tirion: "Now about how to recognize the signs of demon posession..."
Arthas: "Spitwad!" 
Other students: "Aiee! Teeecher!!"
Tirion: "Don't make me come over there." 
And yeah, methinks Arthas likes to hear himself talk.
The Scarlet Crusade split from the rest of the Light-worshipers some time ago, so their practices have gotten a bit more decadent. And their leader is a demon... not sure how that happened, I'll have to go read the backstory.

In the game, one of the belf commanders blames Uther the Lightbringer for messing up Arthas's training and offers a quest to defile his tomb. I kinda like Uther, so I hate to have to do that. Uther is also credited for his training in the "Arthas" novel.
Arthas isn't the only one who likes to hear himself talk. He and Tirion have that in common.
Tirion: "Did you fire that spitball?"
Arthas: "Maaaaaaybe."
Tirion: "How many times to I have to tell you? A paladin embodies discipline at all times, and that means..."
Other students:

Now you're bringing back memories of Scraps' Pub.
Cheers!

Sure, why not? I'm sure Scrap would be at home in the Gallow's End tavern in Brill. He'd be appalled at the kitchen, though.
