A bit of a WoW/My Little Pony (the old style ponies) mashup today! Here we have the beautiful mustangs that run around Grizzly Hills close to the Westfall Brigade Encampment. As part of a quest you have to ride 5 of these mustangs back to base - n'aaw! Although if you're Horde you have to frighten the horses away to stop the Alliance from taming them!

I have a double bill for you today as Silvermoon is situated in Eversong Woods so I thought it'd make sense. Eversong Woods is the Blood Elf start area (my main character is a Blood Elf Warlock - represent!) and is probably one of the prettiest zones in the game. Silvermoon City is awesome too but it's usually pretty quiet as it's not a main hub. I love the architecture of the Blood Elves so much!

The next postcard in my WoW series is from Redridge Mountains. When I played Alliance this was probably one of my favourite zones! It's really pretty. The little town in my illustration is called Lakeshire with the lake itself being called Lake Everstill - sounds pretty picturesque to me!

Today's postcard is from Elwynn Forest! Elwynn is the human starting zone and is therefore fairly gentle. The weird little creature in the illustration is a Kobold - they like to wear candles on their heads, presumably because they work in a mine (they get pretty upset when you try to take their candles!).

I'm pretty certain I've mentioned my fondness for World of Warcraft on here a couple of times in the past, and although I'm not currently playing (I haven't even tried the new expansion yet!) I still get nostalgic about the game. I've decided to start yet another little series to run alongside my calendars and spirit animals entitled 'Postcards from Azeroth'. The idea is to produce an illustrated postcard for every single WoW zone and major city, there's really quite a few so I imagine it will take a fair while! Even if you don't know too much about WoW or aren't too keen, I think a lot of the zones are really pretty so you might still enjoy these illustrations - I hope so anyway!
