Yoruko's resource box [update 14th Feb]

Unread post by Yoruko »

Seeing as we have so many wonderful signature and avatar artists, I wanted to contribute! Every now and then I dabble a bit into what I like to call "scenery shooting" in WoW. Feel free to use the results as backgrounds for signatures, avatars or whatever you have in mind! I'll try to add more in the future. ;)

I have keyworded the screenshots as either "raw" or "edited". Raw is simply the actual untouched screenshot and edit means that I have adjusted the colours, sharpness or such in photoshop.

Environments

Azshara
Cliffside

Badlands

Update Log:

January 3rd 2012:
- Added new areas. (Azshara, Barrens, Deadwind Pass, Durotar, Dustwallow Marsh, Grizzly Hills, Sholazar Basin and Zul'Drak)
- Added the "Beast Spotlight" feature where I try to depict a beast in it's natural habitat. My goal is to feature mainly rare or unique mobs but I might pop a more common one every now and then.

February 14th 2012:
- Happy Valentines day! I have a collection of "Beast Spotlight" photos to share with you. Because it's a special day, I wanted to make a special treat. I added a whole lot of spirit beasts to the list! Hope you like 'em and of course, feel free to use the raw or edited ones if you'd like. :D Also, I'd like to mention that I only photograph "wild beasts" so all the rares are actual free roaming rares in the world. This is why I only have some of the rares in this post instead of a larger variety. I'm thankful for your patience when you wait for your favorites!

Oh, wow ... Thank you. I, for one, may be using some of these soon. You are a much better photographer than me. And, oh my word, you are an amazing signature artist! If you have the time, you should definitely open up a shop! :hug:

Awesome idea! :) These are great, I love seeing scenic zone pictures, and they'll certainly come in handy for future graphic creations. ^^
