Night Elf - Death Knight by *Ketka. From the suggester: "The motion in this piece is just sublime. I can feel the wind, the speed and the fierce roaring of the beast. Amazing and savage!" ( Suggested by `Atramina and Featured by $aunjuli )

As a fan of Night Elves, I must say this got my eyes peeled. Let's see this piece by piece: The seemingly unfinished front paws are seemingly unnoticeable because of the creature's motion: so fluid there. The big tiger's expression seems wild as well, making this piece more appealing. The teeth quite delivers the title of this art, even without the rider, it would be a harbinger of death! And the fur! Oh man, gotta love that fur. It seems manually made yet realistic!

As for the rider: who wouldn't notice the rider? An appealing knight eager to do her things! Her armor is what intrigues me . . . It's as if the armor is a part of her, like, they're glued or such. And pretty much like the tiger, her expression makes me want and not to want this knight.

Everything in this piece is truly magical!

this has to be one of the most realistic pieces I have seen of fan art that is also in action and brings you into the drawing. The fur from the tiger is soo well drawn and every detail of the armor on both the tiger and the Night elf are simply stunning. The Night Elf sword looks soo awesome with its blue glow. I also think the tattered cape fits quite nicely in the artwork. The skulls on the tiger give it such a unique touch to this making me wish they had a death knight tiger in the game.
