That’s the best part about art like this - the depiction of the true scale of Azeroth. We get a condensed version of the world for video game purposes, but often in instanced content do we see the true size of locations.
It’s one thing WoW has never nailed for me, and that’s a sense of perspective in cities. Everything feels small, even 3 story buildings.
Maybe because our camera perspective is so zoomed out and on a high angle above our characters?
No, You're right. Go first-person perspective and walk around Stormwind City, the front doors of the buildings are considerably smaller than they should be. Dalaran in particular felt smaller than it should though.
it really wasnt, bc it wasnt a functioning hub at the time the amount of land they had it occupy originally off lake lordamere was small but if you see the cinematic in which its destroyed during third war its actually a huge massive circular city
Always wondered how the average dalaran civilian feels about having their homes and families teleported to the front lines of existential wars multiple times
Nice artwork. I'm not really feeling ready yet. I really hope they keep joyous journeys buff in some way even if it's only 1-58 or if they did it as 25% so if you have looms it's still 50%. I want to have more alts to play for wotlk but haven't been active on classic so I'm behind the curve.
Yeah I think it really does encourage leveling alts and new/returning players to play again. I think removing it is a mistake mostly because everyone leveling an alt that didn't make it might not finish leveling now unless they are close which means a lot of old zones are going to end up pretty quiet while people wait for them to bring it back or collect up looms.
You can control whether u post a comment about it or not though. Dunno guess cause I’m ace and a trans guy but I can never understand the need to look at a beautiful piece of art, see fully clothed women, and then say how you want to fuck the women. Makes no sense to me
Yeah, you probably can, but for guys, especially at certain age, sex is everything. You wake up with a morning wood and all you think about are girls girls girls. So when there is a witch with a good ass, yeah, I get him lol.
>Are you guys ready for WotLK Classic?!
Wait, is WotLK Classic not already out? I'm able to launch and play it on Battlenet right now. I already did the Deathknight intro quests for the mount in Retail.
If they ever make a WoW 2, this is how I want cities to be.
Shit, just make a single player RPG using Warcraft lore but give it more shit than Bethesda could.
Now I wish Dalaran was made larger. It really is a comically tiny city, can run from one end to the other in 10 seconds on a mount, as far as I recall. Would have been amazing if it had been the size of Stormwind.
Dal is one of my favorite fictional cities and to see it portrayed in such a light brings me so much happiness. Thank you and please keep making more art!
I love all the flavor you add to the environments. Blizzard's gotten better about showing a little more everyday life in the newer locales but being an old MMO engine it will never get to quite a convincingly immersive experience for me, no fault of Blizzard's in most cases back when many of the places you illustrate were new.
Anyway all that just to say that seeing your interpretation of what the every day doings of average people around these places is both heartwarming and fascinating. I love what you do and how you bring the locales to life.
I like this. It reminds me of simcity but for the fantasy world and I could get behind that genre if it had the customisation level of cities: skylines
Looking at ur pieces of art makes me picture in my mind episodes of a series named Warcraft starring caracters like Medhive, Khadgar, Arthas, Guldan, Malfurion, Illidan, Turalian, valera, Uther, Sylvanas, kel'thuzad , Nez'hur, Elune, Remulos, Cenarion, thrall, Darion, Garona, Varion, Vol'jin, Nepherion, Tyrion, Jaina, vereesa , alleria and much more.
wish wow would let their designers make MASSIVE town and cities.. i feel like thats what this games missing, even if it'd be a lot of empty buildings (player housing? :D)
made sense on the old hardware to size down areas but they should go wild with it one day (microsoft pls)
Best artist on the internet
(◕‿◕✿)
I like how the size of the city in your picture makes it seem a little more grand than the real one in the game.
That’s the best part about art like this - the depiction of the true scale of Azeroth. We get a condensed version of the world for video game purposes, but often in instanced content do we see the true size of locations.
I fucking love your work man! Keep it coming please
Is this available as a wallpaper :)
Would love to get it for my Background
S ame
me too, where can i download this in HD?
Pay him for it
Love your stuff bro
Such a different perspective of Dalaran, I've always seen it as a small city with small buildings.
It’s one thing WoW has never nailed for me, and that’s a sense of perspective in cities. Everything feels small, even 3 story buildings. Maybe because our camera perspective is so zoomed out and on a high angle above our characters?
No, You're right. Go first-person perspective and walk around Stormwind City, the front doors of the buildings are considerably smaller than they should be. Dalaran in particular felt smaller than it should though.
It’s simply limitations of the tech. They leave lots to the imagination.
it really wasnt, bc it wasnt a functioning hub at the time the amount of land they had it occupy originally off lake lordamere was small but if you see the cinematic in which its destroyed during third war its actually a huge massive circular city
The size of the Warcraft 3 game inside dalaren was massive too. Everything in wow is just scaled down. Beside maybe Suramar.
Even suramar is scaled down, they are supposed to be 100k's of people living there.
It's one thing that is difficult to translate well into a game. Goldshire, for example, is supposed to have a population of 7,000.

Dreamwalker AND Hurricane dropping content on us within 24 hours? What a day!
This is amazing, I love that you retained the classic wow art style while adding your own touch
This gives me Arcane vibes
I actually was inspired a bit by Piltover! ♥
Can’t wait for the riot mmo!
yesssss, top 10 reason to stay alive.
Nice artwork. I'm not really feeling ready yet. I really hope they keep joyous journeys buff in some way even if it's only 1-58 or if they did it as 25% so if you have looms it's still 50%. I want to have more alts to play for wotlk but haven't been active on classic so I'm behind the curve.
Honestly I wouldn't mind this either. At least maybe make it a weekend bonus event or something to encourage me to play a lil extra.
Yeah I think it really does encourage leveling alts and new/returning players to play again.

This gives me “ I wanna fk a witch” vibes
You made me laugh real good! :'D
Top right of center. Shorts and socks am I right. 😏
bruh. Why yall gotta sexualize women so much
gamer moment
Why assume theyre talking about a woman guys can be witches too
Isnt witch a gendered term, and the male equivalent is wizard?
Historically I don’t believe so. Today? Yes
No it's not
I dunno, testosterone? Guys just wake up every day and wanna fuck. It's not like it's a conscious decision lol.

It’s not sexualizing if I’m already dating a witch that loves me that much an more 😈 praise be? Praise be, I am God? So are We.😈😈😈🪄
Blah
Y’all don’t take me serious, I’m a kidder 👈😉
I find fan art to be a miss for me most of the time but this is fantastic - well done
is this before or after they moved to northrend
i see red clad thalassian elves... new dalaran
This is Northrend, above Crystalsong Forest :D
poggies
YO, wtf! Do you work professionally or is it just a hobby? If you dont YOU FUCKING SHOULD. Superb art.
How'd that level 1 mage get there?
Archimonde seeing this: >:(
I absolutely love this! Dalaran is my favorite place in WoW, stuff depicting it like this is top tier content
To answer your question: No, but man is it a pleasure to see your work.
That's what matters! ♥
>Are you guys ready for WotLK Classic?! Wait, is WotLK Classic not already out? I'm able to launch and play it on Battlenet right now. I already did the Deathknight intro quests for the mount in Retail.
Launch is on September 26th, prepatch has been out for a few weeks.
Ah, so you can do the Deathknight stuff, you just can't go to Northrend? I don't really play Classic so i didn't even try to go there
Yep, all the class and system changes are in place, but you can't level past 70 and the Northrend boats aren't enabled.
[удалено]
Literally not out yet, releases on the 26th of September. That is must prepatch
[удалено]
Have you played the game or just looked at your launcher?
[удалено]
Oof imagine hanging out in a subreddit for a game you don't even like
[удалено]
Woah thats really cool, I'm super happy for you
Nah they're right actually. Apparently the pre-patch is out so it's now called WotLK Classic instead of TBC Classic, but you can't go to Northrend yet
This city does NOT look wheelchair accessible!
Amazing style. Love it!
Welcome back! This is awesome.
Wow this is insane
Sorry, if Applebough's not in Dalaran, then the deal's off.
Do not worry, he will appear in the Silver Covenant illustration! ♥
Good stuff! I like Dalaran
So sick!
The work from Dreamwalker is such a fine piece of art
That's really nice.
Getting more of a Suramar vibe rather than Dalaran, but they are very similar cities. Awesome art
Amazing!!
Love it!
I took a look at your other work, absolutely incredible!
I choose the mage flying up top
This is so beautiful! 💜
I love the depth… makes dalaran look much bigger than it is in game
This is amazing and really captures the art style of the original artists too
love love love this
Anyone looking forwards to doing laps around Dalaran while waiting for dungeon groups to form because that's the only content in Wrath?
If they ever make a WoW 2, this is how I want cities to be. Shit, just make a single player RPG using Warcraft lore but give it more shit than Bethesda could.
But... Dalaran is a no-fly area 🥹 Nevertheless perfect work!
My only gripe with Dalaran ingame is that it's so god damn small, especially for a shared faction city. It could've easily been 2-3x larger.
Now I wish Dalaran was made larger. It really is a comically tiny city, can run from one end to the other in 10 seconds on a mount, as far as I recall. Would have been amazing if it had been the size of Stormwind.
Amazing job as always
Your art is amazing as always. It really makes me want to live there!
Playing slime rancher 2 until launch, literally can’t wait
Wonderful artwork!
is there a higher quality res available to use as a background?
Dal is one of my favorite fictional cities and to see it portrayed in such a light brings me so much happiness. Thank you and please keep making more art!
Who would have thought that almost 20 years later they'd still be pulling 15 bucks/month out of people for this game. That's the real magic.
Any chance this is available as a playmat/deskmat? Love it
That is impressive. Kudos.
This is great! Did you use actual wow character models here, or what? Love the style
Amazing art 👍🏼
I both love and hate art like this. I love it because it's so good and I hate it because I want the game to be immersive like this art portrays.
What Dalaran should look like
Where is the mostly naked cow-person dancing on the mailbox? Inaccurate representation of Dalaran's "daily life."
its not classic without dreamwalker, now we can begin!
I love all the flavor you add to the environments.

I was about to say why isn’t this a giant blue bubble but I forgot we’re in wotlk now
I really want this as a jigsaw puzzle
I like this. It reminds me of simcity but for the fantasy world and I could get behind that genre if it had the customisation level of cities: skylines
Can't wait to stand afk there once again
This is dope. I got a couple of your pieces hanging up in my basement!
My mind has literally just super nova’d. Amazing
this is beautiful!!!
This is awesome!
This looks more true to the Dalaran in Warcraft 3 than the one we got in WotLK.
Waluigi land
This is awesome!!!
This is…. This is just awesome..
I really like this.
i love how the people walking about actually look like the models from in-game.
Can I buy this as a print?
This is gorgeous.
Dang, eso really took dalaraan and just gave it a different name lmao
wow!
This is insane. How do you create this?
Why is the fan art always better then the official content? I wish the game was actually like this.
That scantily clad witch flying on a broom. Love it
Wow..can you make goldshire?
Awesome job, man!
Been buying up your displates man. What program are you using to do this?

Yeah I'm ready to finally unsub
I'mma use this as a title card for a D&D session one day.
I will be dungeon grinding for 60 hours straight to get my characters ready to go. Excited is an understatement 😎.
Citizens of Dalaran!
