WoW Petopia Community

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.

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. 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!

*agrees with Feral* And I'm gonna nab the STV beach picture for my desktop background :3

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

These are stunning! Please keep updating them

woah, nice pics.

Thank you very much for your compliments and encouraging comments! I'm really happy that this was so well received so far.

Also, I did a valentines update! Check the original post for some special treats.
