Moonlost's Artistic Thread Thing

I've been active on and off this forum for a good number of years now, and yet... I don't recall ever making a dedicated art thread purely for showcasing my work. A few threads where I'd do requests for people, but nothing like my own gallery. Huh. Perhaps it's time to fix that.
It's been, oh, at least a year since I've really uploading anything at all here which, whilst understandable as my interest in the game has fluxed, is almost a little sad to think about. In many ways, this website and the community of people here were really instrumental in my meager skills improving. Had I not come here, I likely would not be as adept as I am. Not that I proclaim myself to be a great artist, I still feel I have a lot to learn, but what skill I do have was honed early on thanks to requests and compliments I received here. Also, I neevr would have met some of my best friends, who have helped usher those skills as well (I know I stole learned a lot from LupisDarkmoon in particular <_< ).
So, in that respect, thank you Petopia. It was a long time coming, maybe at some point I can give something back to show my appreciation.

So, art. I'm going to try and keep this related to WoW fanarts only for the moment. I suppose it would only be fair of me to link my old Pixel icons, although I no longer do them, since those were really the big leaping point. And it's nice to look back on those old thigns and see how my style has changed since them.So, here's my DA file full of old, dinky little icons. Still free to use for anyone here should the urge take you.
And from the old, to the new.

.... Well, make that the slightly-less old. XD A few of you might have seen a coloured version of this by Lupis, well, here's the linework I did for that. And is the jumping point that lead my to the style of lineart that I now use quite regularly, if a little more refined than this. Although a lot of work, it's also a lot of fun. XD

I love my shaman's white gryphon mount. He's so snooty and proud, but a good ol' bird regardless. I believe this came about from a livestream where I was fumbling for something to draw then, uh, things got silly.
I still love his long, feathery socks on his front legs. XD

Image
Izkar here is an Orc I roleplayed, and may still yet roleplay in the future. He's an outcast from orcish society, and the tattoo on his face brands him as such. Quite proud of this, as humanoids have never been my strong suit.

Image
Tarrasque is my huntress' new pet and I love my grumpy green basilisk. She may not be perfect and her family skill may not be the best, but she's a fine tank who has a bad habit of attacking anything that looks at her funny.... or happens to be in the same zone as her... Usually seven at a time...
So, a tribute to her in .png format. Long may she go running off to thunderstomp anything within visual range all at once, wouldn't have her any other way.

Ooh, first time seeing that basilisk, it's gorgeous! I love the subtle texture and gradient in the colours.

Always love seeing your work. :)

TARRA! She looks amazing, Moon. Wow, those textures (I think?) worked *really* well.
