Marriage Commission

A commission I made of a married couples’ in-game characters.

[A cropped view of a Highmountain Tauren Druid holding the hand of a Blood Elf Demon Hunter. The Tauren has a long beard and glowing blue horns. The Blood Elf has a blindfold on, black pigtails, and a pair of horns with pink glowing tips.]

[A close view displaying only the Blood Elf Demon Hunter.]

[A close view displaying only the Highmountain Tauren Druid.]

These are some other shots I made of the piece.

[A large Highmountain Tauren Druid holding the hand of a smaller Blood Elf Demon Hunter. The Highmountain has glowing blue horns and wooden armor. The background is a set of stone stairs with blossoming leaves along the ground.]

[A full background displaying Nyalotha, complete with large stone obelisks and structures, and glowing old god appendages. A large brutosaur (brontosaur) is displayed on the left of the platform, while the couple is placed on the center.]

[A cropped version of the full background, specifically centering on the brutosaur and the couple overlooking the platform.]

[The same Blood Elf Demon Hunter riding mounted on the back of a moose shapeshift form of the Highmountain Tauren. The background is a blue wooden forest area.]

[A close-up of the Blood Elf Demon Hunter pointing forward with a smile on her face.]

[A back view of the moose shapeshift displaying a sign stating 'Just Married' on it at a slightly crooked angle. The background is of Ardenweald.]

[A further shot of the back view of the moose, displaying more of the Ardenweald background.]

[An even further shot of the back view of the moose, displaying even more of the Ardenweald background.]

Below are some images during the work-in-progress, including some props and character models.

[Modified 'Gazebo' Wood Prop, colored dark grey and faded pink, matching wtih the surroundings of Nyalotha.]

This is the original shoulder compared to the newer uprezzed version - high polygon and high texture quality.

[Original Quality Shoulder - a purple hawk-shape.]

[Uprezzed Quality Shoulder - a purple hawk-shape.]

This is the original belt buckle compared to the newer uprezzed version - high polygon and high texture quality.

[Original Quality Belt Buckle - a Purple and black Skull with horns and a gem on it.]

[Uprezzed Quality Belt Buckle - a Purple and black Skull with horns and a gem on it.]

This is the original warglaive compared to the newer uprezzed version - high polygon and high texture quality.

[Original Quality Warglaive - a black and purple warglaive with a pair of horns attached to it and bright purple runes.]

[Uprezzed Quality Warglaive - a black and purple warglaive with a pair of horns attached to it and bright purple runes.]

This one is an example of purely just doing a subdivision without putting in the extra work to keep edges sharp. Notice the difference with the above.

[Original Quality Warglaive - The edges of the object are too smooth, giving it an almost melted plastic look, as opposed to a sharp, high-polygon look of the original.]

Blood Elf Demon Hunter Character Model

[T-Pose of the Blood Elf Demon Hunter model holding the warglaive in both hands. She has black pigtails, a pink blindfold, and small horns with glowing pink ends.]

[T-Pose size comparison between the Highmountain Tauren and the Blood Elf Demon Hunter. The Highmountain Tauren is approximately twice the height of the Blood Elf.]

Lighting & Shading tests

[A shot of the Highmountain Tauren holding the Blood Elf's hand. The scene is lit dark with minimal lighting, displaying]

[A shot of the Highmountain Tauren holding the Blood Elf's hand. The scene is much brighter, nearly completely lacking shadows. The horns now have a brighter outline glow.]
