Should not feel bad about a sad elf; it's not real:

Made this around 2007-2008 if not earlier. Guess I was inspired by The Lord of the Rings and World of Warcraft music. I then got an idea of some short Warcraft III campaign set between somewhere between Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne or even after the Frozen Throne, pertaining an elf woman warrior discovering an active band of satyrs corrupting a part of Ashenvale. Some time after, I thought I'd actually use Shandris as the protagonist.

Reptiles the primordial intelligence:

Created this around 2009. It made me think of some scene with serpent creatures, the Warcraft III naga at first, maybe, but then I had this idea of a humanoid reptilian race for the continuation of my custom StarCraft: Brood War campaign Reincarnation: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/starcraft-reincarnation-brood-war-custom-campaign.223090/
