If you are a lore/questing fan, I highly recommend only using ground mounts as you quest and explore the new zones. They are beautiful and it's just a whole different experience.

The image centers on the face of Arator the Redeemer, a stern man with bright golden eyes. On the right side of the image is the World of Warcraft: Midnight. Under the logo, there is text that reads, "Arator: Immolation Cinematic."

When Light turns to wrath, only ashes will remain.

Arator, son of Light and Void, must find the balance between both before itโ€™s too late ๐ŸŒ‘

Making a #gameart portfolio? If you have not made a bust, don't make a full character. Start small and level up scale as your level of your skills. Applies to any discipline (enviro, chars, VFX, anim, Ui, etc). By Zhelong Xu

Creating fan art or art is great to see in #gameart portfolios. That said avoid using the logo unless you directly contributed to that project. If you need a logo to say it fits in a world is that project successful? Let your art speak for itself.

The image is a trendy living room with a floor to ceiling window on the left wall, and a beautiful alcove above a bright orange sofa. There is an orange rug and an orange coffee table in front of the sofa, and behind the sofa is a table with objects on it and some wall decor above. There are white-outlined boxes, one in the foreground and one in the back depicting objects you would find in game - a telescope and a lamp.

To the left, there is a red-haired, gold-eyed blood elf woman in regal Blood Knight attire - red and gold armor, and she is holding a shield with a crest on it. There is a Forsaken male next to her on her left. To the right of the thumbnail, there is the World of Warcraft: Midnight logo with the title, โ€œAll That is Sacred,โ€ below.

The image centers on a Blood Elf and a Draenei locked in combat. Further in the background, other Blood Elves and Draenei are also duking it out. The scene is set against a dark purple and star-littered sky.

At the top center of the image, there is a logo with a house on top with text below that reads "Azeroth Interiors". Below the logo, there is smaller text that reads, "FEB 17-24, Interior Design Invitational." Below that shows two links, one to Warcraft's Twitch channel and another to the YouTube channel.  The logo is set against a moody still-life image of a fantasy home interior.
