kuron had a slot for a commission in the summer of 2010 that I was able to snag. At the time, I had recently noticed how awesomely cool and unbelievably huge the Wardens of Time are (from the WoW MMORPG). So I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see what Rooth looked like as a Warden of Time? Kuron had done other drawings of WoW characters, and I liked how they came out, particularly the costumes and weapons. A great blend of good figure skills and good accessory skills. I couldn't resist!

So here we have a piece that was finished way back in September, 2010, which I only just realized I hadn't posted yet. That's Rooth, as a Warden of Time, channeling some elctricity (it's his primary element, you could say). To his right is Sapphiriana, my Alliance "main" on WoW, a Dranei Beastmaster hunter. She's riding her pet devilsaur, "Denver", so named because of how long I had to farm the area to tame one (friggin' Horde kept sniping my attempts, killing my would-be pets!). Why is she riding him? Well, the original sketch idea for this was more portrait-like, and she was in front of Rooth, and Rooth was much smaller -- smaller than a Warden of Time ought to be. Kuron, despite having played a long while, also hadn't realized just how big these guys were. So we corrected, and Sapphiriana and Denver ended up getting shrunk down, but in the same pose. That's okay, though: Sapp is probably safer on Denver than on the ground, lest she get accidentally squished. ;)

I may commission more Rooth-WoTs in the future. WoW has a lot of Lore, and exploring the role of Rooth in it would be interesting, since I can't exactly make a WoT character in the game.
