Vonya Art Commission
Posted under: Art by CourtneyDoodles
I commissioned a good friend (and fabulous artist) Miss Courtney McWin for some warcraft art. You guys are not gonna BELIEVE how awesome it turned out. I knew you wouldn’t believe it, so that’s why I’m showing it here.
Final
*SQUEE*
The Design
I knew I wanted Vonya (my draenei priest) to be lying down and reading a book, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted Courtney’s too-adorable “little kid” style (you should see her toddler taurens. They’re heart-melting) or if I wanted something more adult and pretty. I gave her a few guidelines (screenshots, the name of the robe I wanted Vonya wearing, the bubbles and healy sparkles, and the “P” spellbook bookmark – with a cup of tea for adult Vonya and a plush boomkin for the little kid Vonya)
So Courtney sketches BOTH options for me so I can decide! Even after she sketched them, I had a hard time choosing. I even polled folks at work and on Twitter to help make a decision. The kid version won out, so that’s the one we went with. But look at how awesome the preliminary sketches were!
Flats
She even let me see the piece half-colored so I could make any last-minute changes before the shading went in! (Not that I had any changes, but if I DID, it was nice to know I had the opportunity!)
Vonya and Noq
For giggles, I tossed another quick commission on the pile and requested a sketch of kid-Vonya putting a bandaid on kid-Noq’s knee. Noq has been Vonya’s primary tank for a long, long time.
Courtney described Noq’s expression as, “AND DID YOU SEE THAT ONE MONSTER? I WAS LIKE BAM AND HE RAN AWAY CRYING. HAH!” which is pretty much the best thing ever.
Commission Info
Courtney is open for commissions (particularly warcraft commissions, though her non-humanoid art is exceptional, too!).
Find her commission info here.
And I’ve already told her that her prices are too low and she won’t listen to me. *raspberry*
