I very unapologetically love shaman Brightblaze. I also admit I shamelessly stole this otherwise absolutely unassuming minor NPC from a Grothmar meta event, gave him a first name and turned him into Efram’s aide in my stories.
This particular painting is kind of a self-indulgent fanservice I started during my last official ANet stream. It ended up shelved, just like most of my paintings, until recent events made me crave some shaman-shaped comfort food.

“I wore the colors of your enemy. Most would consider that reason enough in a war.”
“I do not.”
Past few months were kind of a snowball effect in my writing. I created these two as a bit of a personal injoke, then I got a random writing idea they managed to perfectly fit themselves into, and now… I have a 17-page monster comic on my hands spanning the entirety of Icebrood Saga. I honestly wish my brain worked in less mysterious ways.
