Thanks! I really want to work a bit more on her, specially adding quilting to her armor; I figured how to do it on a less time consuming way, yay!!

I like how you didn't feel the need to make it really busty and sexy and impractical. This is really nice.

Thanks! though to be honest, since I'm hella gay maybe I don't have the need to sexualize her.

I know that feeling, all my old drawings either resemble the old giant skulled aliens, or look like they had a free head shrinking!

Seriously, I could put a fashion show with all the designs I have KEK!!
Oh, angry orc armor is pretty cool, and sexier ;D. There's something to be said about orc and night elf armor skimpiness. Which reminds me, my nelf druid Aelos is coming next *weeeeeeeenk*

Pfeh, orc and nelf skimpiness is the best. EVEN FOR BLOOD ELVES (and trolls, and tauren) xD
Gosh, if wow wasn't a 12+ game but 18+ rather, I could see quite a few females of certain races either having to chestpiece as at all, see trough dresses or one breast bare *herpderp headcannons* xD

I definitely see troll and orc females going barechested or with small cloth or leather straps, and night elf females definitely would love their see-throughs XD.
Now I want to make some designs!!

hehehe lol! I don't mind that the game is 12+, we have fanart for the rest!! I'm definitely going to work on some designs ;D
Yanno, even if I do think that blood elves are highly hedonistic and vain, I have trouble seeing them being all bare-bosom as a norm; cause I feel there's a conflict between their decadence and their properness -left over from their high elven days. I definitely can see it as a bold new fashion statement from the more aggressively changing sectors of society, thusly creating cultural conflict; being denounced as promiscuous by ones, and forward thinking by others.
I just like to think about blood elves a lot XD.

I imagined them more the way of dressing for high class nobles while being at high class parties, where they drink wine, smoke hookahs, chew on bloodthistle and lay back into a heap of cushions! Not yea, the thing a person would wear all the time, just in Silvermoon, but at special events, And I imagine there will be tactical hair placement and jewellery still involved though, with the occasional, eh tease, when drunk enough XD ! I always imagine blood elven women being very manipulative and having no qualms to do whatever to get what they want from men xD
But yes, I can imagine it is not your average daily Silvermoon wear to to speak, only at special occasions at that sort of gatherings! I think for your average wear bare bosom wear might be a tad over the top indeed! Showing off skin is still a very okay thing I imagine though, for noble women at least (or other rich ones!) I imagine wearing the robes like the statues in Silvermoon do might be a class status thing as well in truth. Yarp, another silly headcannon of mine. Can afford sexy, expensive, revealing robes (the AQ robes that is)? You must have done quite good in life so far (Or just be a spoiled noble xD but that's still good!)
And eep, I like discussions like these, they are very interesting
And I can't wait to see them No really, get to drawing them! Even if you just draw faceless elves with just details on the robes, I WANT TO SEE IT!

Oh yess, I quite like that!! Though I definitely see a class struggle between tradition and change, the "old guard" versus the new. There was quite the power shift with the assault of the scourge and the rebuilding that followed, so I think there's definitely a very marked schism between before and after, culturally so.
People that rose to power after becoming blood elves would be bold, in defiance of their older statements, and that would come in conflict with older traditions of proper and elegant, and how dichotonomous fashion styles could be regarded as "high end" given the way of thought they steem from.
I mean, we are talking about politically charged fashion here, have to love them blood elves!!!

I will always call being from Dalaran "Dalarani" and you will have to take that away from me with my cold death hands!!
I kinda like Lordaeronian tho, it is just so offuscating and I kinde like the idea of human paladin rper's having trouble yelling their kipple hehehehe.
I really believe there are some very intriguing power dynamics that blizzard hasn't really taken advantage off; elves seem to have a very heriarchical society, in the way humans do, and that is ripe for some political intrigue and depth. No race has had such an abrupt sociopolitical shift as the blood elves had, and beyond knowing that those most against where exiled to Quel'Lithien, we are not really privy of the more nuanced conflicts that surely where present.
No society just decides to completely do such a 180 -specially permanently- as the blood elves did, and even if it is state policy, there can't be total hegemony. I really like to think about the conflict that arose, and not only political, but cultural and social; how it changed tradition on the light of tragedy, but also on the face of endless, boundless possibilities brought by fel magic. There surely was something intoxicating about the prospect of starting completely new, risen as a pjoenix, and I'm sure that it came to conflict with more traditional looks on what honor, pride and what even means to be an elf, meant.

I have learnt to be patient with Blizzard; hey, it beats madness!!
I mean, I love me high elves, and I was so glad they had like this major thing going on MoP in the Isle of Thunder, that was really cool, even if so delayed XD.
Anyway, I'm still holding out for that Sunreavers prisoners resolution; such is the nature of the MMO and I have learn to accept it somehow, sometimes.

Ramavatarama In reply to Velynea [2014-04-02 21:59:08 +0000 UTC]
I do think it is save to assume that in absense of confirmation, Dalaran still has the captured Sunreavers in the dungeons. Maybe after the events of Isle of Thunder and the Siege of Orgrimmar there have been some talks between Jaina and Lor'Themar, but no accord has been reached yet.
So for a blood elf it would be like "our brothers are still rotting on the dungeons of Dalaran" and for a dalaran mage it would be "We still have those bloody elves on our city, taking up space in our dungeons!!"

Exactly, but yea, still rather avoid it. You know how Blizzard is xD 4 years later they tend to explain things!
