Description     Auraine, a half Quel'dorei half Kaldorei, was sent away to Dalaran to grow up in safety. There, she gained mentors and friends while she learned skills vital to her survival, and completed her education. As she approached adulthood, one of her mentors gifted her with a pendant that one day she might give to the one she loved most. Attached to the pendant was a note:

    My nightingale-- When you fly free from Dalaran, I won't be able to watch over you anymore. The world can be cruel. Entrust your heart only to the person who you believe sees you, for all your beautiful facets and flaws, and still desires the whole. You will know when the time is right.

    When Dalaran fell and after the sacking of Quel'thalas by the Scourge, and the subsequent rise of the Sin'dorei, Auraine had the pendant's right side refitted with red gems, to reflect her new role as a masked man among the Sin'dorei.

    I had the absolute pleasure to paint the Nightingale Pendant for astralfox0893 . The complexity of the intricate design and the idea behind it made it quite a treat and I have very much enjoyed the entire process. I hope you like the final result!

    Thank you for commissioning me!

I'm afraid the necklace is for their lover, Majesticus-Fluffus . I don't think they're going to engage in Mak Gorah for the necklace lolol

I love the contrast between the two birds. (Like good and evil?)
It just gives this edgy vibe for some reason.

There is a lot of contrast in the piece indeed, in more ways than one.

You're always being able to make us fly to your landscapes, above forests and towns, on the back of a dragon

Hat off !

Really love the look of it, The way the story mentions giving it to some one they love makes me think more towards the heart pendants that split in two.

Galder In reply to raydragonmaster [2019-05-18 08:57:08 +0000 UTC]

Than you! Indeed, they are in a way two parts of one, just like the heart pendants.

TindomielSilverthorn [2019-05-17 19:49:10 +0000 UTC]

Such a wonderful piece. I of course love the way you’ve done the gemstones and the birds. But the thing that really amazes me is the interwoven bits behind the gems. The way they fold and wrap within each other, truly taking two into one.

Galder In reply to TindomielSilverthorn [2019-05-17 21:03:05 +0000 UTC]

wasn't as easy to pull off, but I like a good challenge

much better by itself.
