incoming WoW-nerdery....*sigh*

with the release of the Wrath expansion for world of warcraft came the introduction of the hero class, one which i promised myself i'd never play, or if i did, it'd be when the novelty had worn off and you could swing a new class without being up to your eyeballs in people doing the same.

being teh hardcorez troll supremacist that i am, and faced with the ability to create a reanimated hero troll clad in heavy armor and commanding powers of death and frost, it took about 2 minutes for me to take the path of least resistance.

anyway, this here is my troll death knight, Badimo. the name seemed apt, as according to Wiki:
The term "Badimo", although usually translated as "ancestors" does not simply refer to people who are now dead, but rather to the "living dead". In the traditional African worldview, deceased ancestors continue to be present and are actively included in the daily life of individuals and tribes. NERRRRRRRRRRRRD!

usually when i do a piece i kick it around for about a day before going "Ehhh that's good enough." I had this one cooking for quite a while, coming back to it now and then and basically trying new things when they came to me. I think i like it, but it sure tried my patience. I guess you could call it a "safety" piece...when i got fed up with my efforts on other works i'd come back to this and doodle just to feel like i was still working.

characters and concepts based, of course, on the works of Blizzard Entertainment, the pushers...

i like the intro stuff, felt very different from traditional questage, and actually had a fun story to follow. In fact all the new stuff is a bit more storylike, which i enjoy.

never did make a druid. but they don't make troll druids :XD:

This Deathknight is allowed to join my undead army of the winter-axe( Lovely drawing, a female troll huh?)
:iconvanheist:
is there a band named "Corpse Explosion"? cuz that'd be a metal name if ever there was one.

actually it'd be even more fun if they did folk music... :P

Seriously, love the DK starter area. How it changes and stuff. D: So bored of regular questing areas.

It was a sorta interesting story line. But I don't read the quest info, just the what to do and where to do it. Any storyline, I skim/don't read. >.>

Typically I'm ... alliance. Ok not typically, just flat out, alliance. BUT I do have a troll cuz I love them too. o3o Troll fire mage named FYAHMUFFIN. Mmmhm.
