I started this as a boredom sketch, while I was at the coffeeshop one day. I have this stupid idea to do quasi 'pinup girls' of all the warcraft classes, starting with the 'Sentinel' painting I did a while ago. This would be the second instalment.
I've always loved the Frostfire armour design, and wanted to paint my interpretation of it. Despite her prissy appearance, the blood elf is a powerful mage, capable of invoking the destructive power of the elements at a whim. A force to be reckoned with, perhaps her princessy nature makes her even more deadly, where she lacks restraint at times, and is reckless with her great talent.

Incredibly thought-through. Very good representation of character.
A nice touch having one hand ice cold and another fiery hot. And icy shoulder plates.
A Fine piece of work!
This picture is super-good, but it would be awesome to include some special effects, like a crumbling tower in the background (anything crumbles when super-heated, then quickly chilled ).
