Hey everyone! This is a stickied post.

I'm one of the Lead Quest Designers on World of Warcraft, have been with Blizzard over 13 years. I started out as an overnight Game Master for WoW and eventually worked my way onto the dev team around Legion/BfA.

My favorite quests involve elves and undead.

I played two non-work related demos today.

One was about chill ghost hunting.

The other was about riding ponies.

Two wooden bookshelves are filled with different stuffed toy creatures. The bottom shelf is almost all murky in every available color from green to yellow to undead. And a blue faerie dragon.

The top shelf has a variety of cat Beanie Babies, My Little Ponies, a corgi, a frostwolf pup and a bright yellow bird. There’s a crocheted phoenix. A black dice bag with a silver butterfly pattern is in the far corner.

Horse horse horse.

The Trading Post flying horse, a recolor of the Haunted Horseman's mount, flies through the air with golden feet, golden eyes and black body and saddle. An elf in black armor sits in the saddle. The background is K'aresh, purple and pink swirls with a broken stony landscape.

Celeste dos Cravos (2025), acrylic gouache (+ tiny bit of watercolour) on hot pressed paper (A3)

The traditional version of the illustration I painted digitally last year, now as I had first envisioned it :)

Illustration by Eleonor Piteira featuring a woman on a balcony, holding a bouquet of red carnations, giving one of them to a soldier passing below, placing it on the muzzle of his gun while he looks up at her. All around, other soldiers walk beside him, some wearing red carnations on the muzzles of their guns too, others waiting for their turn to get one. On the background, Portuguese tiles frame the woman, while the balcony's railing slowly transforms into a streetlamp typical of Lisbon (with a caravel and 2 ravens, the symbols of the city).

"Doomhammer's Horde"

I created this piece for the 2021 BlizzConline community art contest's theme "30 Years of Warcraft", and I wanted to make an homage to first Warcraft experience playing WarCraft II: Tides of Darkness.
