# About me
During my travels I've seen many things on the worlds of Azeroth and Draenor (Outland). I have captured them with a borrowed "Super Snapper FX" thanks to a traveling gnome. I felt it was time to share some of the many wonderful things I've seen over the past 40 years of my exploits.I got bored of WoW about when Cataclysm came out. As a result of that I started to play around with photoshop. At first I was just seeing what the program could do, but after a month of figuring, I got better at what I was doing. I then took characters, lore, and other aspects of WoW and brought them together until I got a result i was happy with.
I still Play WoW, but don't raid anymore due to lack of time.

Yeah, it's funny I'll just be bombing around DA and then all of a sudden I see a familiar name and I have a DUH moment. Why didn't I look here for them.?

Your gallery is awesome!
As for the WMV-issue, I got the same, so I just printscreen the entire thing and fix it up in Photoshop. :3
I wanted to ask what program(s) you use to pose your models?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah that was an option. right now I'm running Beta 3 instead of 4 since it's the fastest with screenshots.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, might do so as well.Β
Again, what programs do you use to pose em?

Just wowmodelviewer there are ways within the program to separate the movements of the legs from the torso and from the head too. you can either do this while its animated or you can pause it to have more control. If you get the right combo at the right time you can make crazy positions that aren't in the game, but bring out the personality of the character. Once the image is screen-shotted then I open it in a photo editing program. (I find photoshop elements to be pretty user friendly, but use regular photoshop if I need a "Warp" in the image.) The backgrounds are painstakingly captured at multiple angles then distorted and stretched to line up with the image beside it. The background of Mage-001-sketch is an example of this. It's about 5 screen shots of the background re-angled then fit together to get the height. the edges of each image are soft-brush erased to make it more seamless. Then the background is cropped.Β

Short story long...
I have 11 90s
My main is a male human PaladinΒ
Out of my 90s I have 4 paladins, 2 warlocks, a warrior (draenei), mage, druid, hunter, death knight, and my priest is 86.Β
Most are alliance but one of my paladins is a bloodelf.Β
My 90 boost is most likely going to be a orc male monk. (blademaster). I always liked the idea of blademasters, but they seem to always end up dead in Warcraft.Β
I have 49 characters and most are over level 40.
Do you still play?
Why do you ask?

ooooh that's so cool!!!
I do play

Yeah, there are currently 2 castas and 2 novas and at one point 1 castanova, but I banished that one (demon). The first casta and nova are the draenei and dwarf featured in a couple of my stories. The second Casta and Nova are the half-breed children (human/draenei) who were named after the first 2. Β with that said...
Castanova was originally a funny name I came up with for my first warlock and is now one of my warlock 90s.Β
