Description     Hello everyone! Today we are finally going to meet another of the faction focus characters who are affiliated with House Blackfury. And in doing so, we shall skip from the retainers and scholars directly to the head of the house. Meet Magister Ilandar Blackfury himself!

    As we have already mentioned, house Blackfury is a minor noble house with lands in Eversong forest. Lead by magister Ilandar Blackfury, a talented, albeit slightly eccentric researcher with knack for leadership, the house has been acting as a strong ally of the Brigade. With only three nobles bearing the name Blackfury alive - Ilandar himself, his young son Kae and daughter by the name of Nida, and nearly no material fortune, business or natural resource claims to boot, the house might seem like a minor player indeed, but appearances can be deceiving. 

    The magister is an senior mage with a keen mind and knack for experimentation. His affinity to and proficiency with portal magic is formidable, and his research in this field has raised more than one eyebrow. While he is commonly mistaken for a high elf, Ilandar Blackfury is a staunch supporter of strong Quel'Thalas and a sin'dorei through and through. The color of his eyes is a mystery even to himself, although when asked about this, he has speculated that the whole matter might be tied to a tragic accident during an experiment with a particularly ambitious portal spell that has gone very wrong. While he himself might not comment further, his subordinates would most likely remark that it was the day Ilandar lost his wife. 

    This accident though hasn't dulled his drive to explore and experiment with portals. On the contrary, it fueled his desire to know more to a level that borders with obsession. While absentminded at times, his family means everything to him and Nida and Kae are the only ones who can make Ilandar forget about magical formulas and teleportation theories. 

    I have painted Ilandar as a part of the faction focus for May - House Blackfury. While we might not be able to get third piece in the series this month(my workload was, and still is immense right now), I hope that the two that were uploaded have managed to introduce the house at least to some extent and that you enjoy this fine gentleman!

    Magister Ilandar is busy maintaining the Brigade's portal gate and network along with several other specialists. He might not have time to take part in any of the summer activities, but his mate has convinced him to donate a Writ of Mercenary Service, opening up one slot for a house Blackfury guard (one character will be created on your behalf for the Mercenary Project), this prize requires a Truesilver Key to unlock(THIS PRIZE HAS BEEN CLAIMED). Magister Blackfury has donated a Golden key to the event(THIS KEY HAS BEEN CLAIMED), but has no Silver Keys, Arcanite Keys or Truesilver Keys. He might be persuaded to make further donations later.

I see you did choose him as your new avatar?! 

He is handsome in an unusual way - and the texture of his clothes looks great!

Thank you! Yes, my avatar was good 4 years old. A little too old

As long as you still like it, I wouldn't care about age. 

But I like your new avatar, even if it will need a bit of time to get used to it.

Wellll since eyes are supposed to be the portals to one's soul someone like Ilandar, master of portals, is bound to have a tad different sort of orbs than an ordinary Sindorei
Can't help being seen as a bit eccentric if you are looking at things differently.
And yes! quite a handsome blue-eyed eccentric magister he is

Galder In reply to Whobleyh [2019-06-01 06:42:50 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Eccentric is good, much better than same old same old

Hi Galder,
he looks so cool! Also, I like his backstory. I some questions: what has he discovered about portals so far? Which is its importance?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Galder In reply to Rayn-Drax [2019-05-31 08:12:09 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm glad that you like him. He has discovered countless tricks and ways
to make portals more stable, larger, longer lasting and more accurate. He also discovered
a couple of previously unknown destinations he keeps secret for now. His research has
also provided him with a good level of knowledge about operating magical gateways, bridges
and similar contraptions - this is what he currently does for The Brigade.

He looks incredible. 😁
He looks really strong and wise, but also friendly and kind. His expression fits the story and I love what you show of his outfit. 

By the way,  his picture makes a great icon for you.  ^u^

Thank you! I'm glad that you like him . I thought it was about time
to change my icon all over the place. While I was fond of my old one, it is now 
nearly 4 years old

Lycan-Sakura In reply to Galder [2019-06-03 13:11:43 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome. ^^ I definitely do.
4 years is a really long time to have the same one, tho it did look really cool. I think this one fits you really well too. 😁

ZiptoZapto [2019-05-29 16:46:07 +0000 UTC]

Beautiful image! The eyes give a sense of power, but not too much from the fact that you can see his pupils. The shading is excellent, the details are as well, and you can get a slight sense of a smirk in his face. That is amazing. The background is also simple, which draws more attention to the figure.
Amazing picture overall.

Galder In reply to ZiptoZapto [2019-05-30 10:32:46 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm really happy that you like it. I have spent a bit longer on this one than
usual and am glad that it shows.

LeilaAscariz [2019-05-29 13:46:08 +0000 UTC]

The details you have put on this one are amazing, from the subtle touches of grey on his hair to the wrinkles or the lines on his lips. I think he looks amazing and rather hot!

If only we got this many nice facial hair on our male belfs on wow, I would be genuinely happy T_T
It is so nice you draw all races around WoW,including the non playable ones! This gentleman is sweet, and I loved his backstory,as usual! Artwise, you did an incredible work on the material of his vest, I can practically feel the pattern in my fingers! And the details on his face are on point! Thank you for another lovely character!

Thank you! I'm really happy that you like him. I have spent a lot of
extra time on the little details here, the fabric and the wrinkles and skin
textures were so much fun to play with.

Steahl [2019-05-29 02:02:43 +0000 UTC]

....he mat honestly be the first person you've painted up that I just want to hug. It would likely not go well, but he needs hugs XD

Galder In reply to Steahl [2019-05-29 14:07:59 +0000 UTC]

Awwh, he would most likely notice that you hugged him after a while and give the odd, 
startled expression, but he is not hostile

Not hostile is a plus! Yay surviving hugging!

Really wonderful character, The outfit is amazing though personally if I owned such an outfit I would have some blue coloring mixed into the outfits design.

Galder In reply to raydragonmaster [2019-05-29 14:07:32 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I always have a blast painting the outfits, doubly so when it's something this fancy.
I have to admit that portion of my painting time is spent just browsing clothing and fabric

Hmmmm, portal magic seems quite interesting, but combined with a heavy damage dealer can be extremely dangerous!

I love it <3

Galder In reply to DireDiamond [2019-05-28 18:46:21 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm glad that you like him. You mean sending a berserker right on top of the enemy soft targets? I suppose there is many colorful 
applications of portals indeed.

TindomielSilverthorn [2019-05-28 18:09:11 +0000 UTC]

Such a handsome, distinguished man. The texture work here is excellent. The creases at his eyes and between the brows hints at either age or the beginning of the arcane’s stress on the body.
The poor man, losing his wife in an accident! Lily would be among the first to offer condolences upon finding out. She knows all too well how badly things can go when magical accidents occur.
