Description     Hello folks! It feels like ages since I have posted a Worgen, so time for one of the brigade's youngest. I'd like to introduce you to Rani. As ferocious and violent as they come, Rani might be a good company while off duty, but on duty, do not expect him to be the friendliest worgen around. He prefers to hack, slash, claw and bite through any obstacles, often applying underhanded and backstabbing tactics and not paying much attention to fair play. He prefers to use two weapons, often generously doused in some kind of conventional or magical poison to subdue his foes with greater ease (or to cause more pain, one nevers knows with Rani). 

   Rani has two siblings, Charr and Dusky, both of them as ferocious and violent as himself. Having three violent young worgen males under one roof probably just contributed to their rough nature, but luckily they are held in line by the leader of their pack, Aaron who acts as their firm willed and resolute alpha-wolfess-mother figure. 

    I hope you enjoy this picture, I felt quite inspired when drawing Rani, as it was one of the concepts that came to me in my dreams. It happens from time to time, that I get the incessant urge to draw something and immediately after I wake up, I go and sketch it out to capture the essence of what the dream was about. Do you have similar experience with this 'dream inspiration'? If so, please let me know, it's an interesting topic. 

    Rani has a bunch of things he'd like to donate, but is too busy having fun on the beach. maybe he'll get around to donate some later on! For now he doesn't even have any Truesilver Key, Golden Key, Silver Key or Copper Key.

Thank you! I used to be pretty scared of drawing them, but they kinda became my signature in the end. Nowadays I'm looking forward to every opportunity of painting them.

Love how this looks, the enchanted axes, the werewolfs head.. The enviornment, the lighting/shading, the moon and the clouds, this looks so atmoshperic and fantasy, I love the vibe it gives! Very well done! The green that stands out adds a nice effect too

Thank you Aya! This was one of the pieces that sprung from a dream inspiration, pose and palette included. I hope I'll get some new dreams like that soon

there's such a cinematic feeling to the portrait, it feels like a screenshot of a single moment amongst a battle. I hope I'm explaining myself well, but I think that's due to your poses carrying such an intensity and believable quality. When you intend for a fighter to look determined and deadly, it definitely comes across
The cold color palette was genius too, considering the bright green draws the focus right to the blades and the action. Things like this may seem like obvious choices to you, but I always marvel at your ability to add just the right amount of colorful accents. 

also yayy for more worgens!!

Galder In reply to candemarzat [2018-04-08 14:49:02 +0000 UTC]

Than you Cande! I'm really happy that you like the pose and the color choice. it was one of the dream inspired images that was stuck in my head
until I actually managed to put it down on 'canvas' and finalize it. I have been drawing worgen for a few weeks in a row (at least it feels like that )..
There is four more worgen related pictures coming in the near future, so I really hope you will not grow tired of them

candemarzat In reply to Galder [2018-04-08 18:25:35 +0000 UTC]

I don't think that's possible haha. Plus you really excel at giving each character their own distinct personality and looks, so even if your entire gallery turns into worgens I would still be a huge fan  
And I forgot to comment on the dream part because I got really exciting about the drawing, but that actually has happened to me on ocassions! Some of my original characters are even based off of stories I've dream about, since it seems I'm even obsessed with fantasy and medieval themes while inconscious! Ksenya herself actually had a vague start as a "villain" of sorts in a particularly bizarre nightmare. 
I've always found dreams to be incredible interesting though (and sometimes more entertaining that real life lol), so it's nice to hear other people get so much inspiration from them!

I don't think I have ever woken up from a dream with inspiration to draw something, that is quite interesting though, and quite a nice way to get the day started with some motivation right after waking up ^^ Usually I am lazy as hell in the morning and hence tend to get most of my work done at night xD 

Also as for the artwork, lovely as always ^^ As I see other people mentioned, the green is a really nice addition to the image^^

Thank you! I'm glad you like him , I need to add a bit more male characters into the Brigade Gallery for the upcoming contest, so there is variety.

Thank you! I'm glad that you like it. He is indeed one of the critters to be avoided (most of the time, he can be cuddly under the right circumstances ).

Looks great Galder! Love the bright contrast of the green against the monochromatic background! Really draws the eye in!

He looks absolutely ferocious!

Thank you Syl! I'm happy that you like him . The green was something I have realized could work in the later phase, made a draft and was excited from the outcome, so it stuck.

Oh Inspiration from dream is something I also experienced a lot, I think it’s the best way to draw something new! I love the background! I do the background always at least and then I have so less motivation on doing it right 😩😩

Galder In reply to Lost-Isle [2018-04-02 19:51:09 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. I have found out that working on the background first actually seems to help when applying the ambient light and shading to the character later one . One just needs patience I suppose. Lots of it

Amazing! BTW how many members has the brigade? (I mean distinguishable individuals not just the total number)?

Anyway great art as usual!

Galder In reply to Panartias [2018-04-02 19:50:05 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! The brigade is not large physically, but everyone controls a host of player characters and NPC's that enter the storyline at certain points, sometimes disappearing for years to come back with a bang . It's a roleplaying project unlike anything I have experienced in my life (and I have been roleplaying since my early teens).
