Many people contribute to the World of Warcraft community with streaming or making interesting videos. However, some of them have decided to shift to the old ways of making contribution with a specific style of art which dates back to the early history of mankind. Today, we present you such a person who is a regular contributor to our Czechoslovakian community in this regard.

If your activity on the social network of Facebook exceeds your own expectations, particularly on Czechoslovakian World of Warcraft groups, you've probably encountered a number of these artworks. Some of the Warcraft heroes simply live on in color. The role of one such life giver has been taken by an artist who is known as Claina. By taking look at her work, it could be said that drawing isn't alien for her.

Hello, could you introduce yourself a bit further?

Hi! My name is Šárka, but I call myself "Claina". I love everything which disregards the reality, such as PC games. I am 19 years old and I live in Prague. (I'm half Moravian, though. Yay! :D)

How did you get to drawing at all?

I hadn't been interested in drawing but I fell in love with a few games and craved to bring my favorite characters to life. Some time later, I decided to oficially take up drawing and grew to love it. The quality of the pictures was no where near special at that time, but I managed to garner further acclaim, which kept me being motivated.

What was the reason for the choice of Blizzard games? How did you find your way to them?

Warcraft, the very first Blizzard game I used to play with my brother. Later on, I was introduced to its successor, World of Warcraft. I absolutely adore everything about the game. On a side note, I have also played Diablo III, which fueled my motivation to drawing Tyrael.

Who is your favourite character?

Khadgar. Generally, I have grown to like powerful wizards. Warriors with swords are ok, but wizards completely stand out with their "being out of reality" impression. Additionally, it comes to me as if he is characterized as a new kind of a teaser. He's got a special plus point for this one! Did I mention I have a toy with his head? That's a dream come true!

Which of your artworks are you most proud of?

I'd say the artworks I drew without a pattern. Apart from those, I can also classify the ones I did with precision and quality into this category, especially Varian and Garrosh. Still, I feel I'll be most proud of yet additional drawing without a pattern of Sylvanas I'm working on currently. It's going well, so time will tell.

Could your artworks be defined by difficulty? Is it more difficult to draw one character compared to the others?

Of course it is. For instance, the orcs have specific features which are completely different from human faces I'm used to and even these are sometimes difficult to draw as far as I am concerned. Trolls, murlocs, goblins and other races which, in terms of features, are basically humans in disguise, also fall into this category. The significant difference is that they appear to be more crooked or shorter. Then there are Draenei and Tauren with their hooves. With that being said, there is still lot to learn. For this reason, I'm satisfied with the Garrosh artwork, although drawing his face proved to be a tough challenge.

What was your latest artwork?

Anduin. I'm currently working on Sylvanas!

 Whom do you have in sights next?

Maiev probably. I've wanted to draw her for a long time and it's time to forge ahead! :)

Do you use any special cranyons or is it possible to draw using the ordinary ones we all know? Does it affect the quality of the artwork in anyway?

Take a look at the drawing of Varian once more. The cranyons used cost +- 7 CZK each. There are also cranyons of higher quality with the approximate price of 50 ,- CZK (almost 2 €) per piece. Those were used for drawing Garrosh. Feel free to compare the two artworks. If you are able to utilize the use of cranyons properly, it's possible to achieve a better result regardless of the type of cranyons used. On the other hand, I have to admit that the more expensive cranyons used, the better quality will the result be endowed with. The pricey cranyons are not so easily broken and the artwork gains a smoother texture. It's a way better, can't deny that!

There's no doubt about the quality. Are your artworks available for sale?

Yes, I have an e-shop. Most likely though, not all the artworks that are currently for sale might be offered there. It's always better to contact me through my Facebook page. The e-shop then takes care of everything concering the sale, payment and while ensuring the delivery arrives as planned.

Interesting. Apart from drawing, are you a World of Warcraft player?

Yes, I am. I've been playing WoW for 8 years now. There were certain moments I stopped playing and then returned to the game again. This is a situation which every player has surely gone through and is familiar with. Back in the day though, I used to play on "private servers". However, I've been playing on the official server for more than a year now.

Are you sided with the Alliance? The Horde? Or even The Burning Legion?

"For the Alliance? For the Horde? No. For Azeroth!" I feel this way. Still, I have to confess my preference of the Alliance but that's more likely a matter of nostalgia. I like both factions, each having their own struggles, personal losses and ways of life. I have never sided myself with either faction due to my desire to help everyone crush the Burning Legion instead. I feel like a panda. Damn it!

What are your interests in World of Warcraft?

I love transmog collecting and for that reason I'm sometimes blamed for being a typical woman. As Monk really lacks having a variety of class sets, I tend to create some of my own. Additionally, I absolutely love proffesions and everything which has something to do with them, especially earning gold by selling flasks. I also yearn to collect all the Cooking recipes in the game. Food and flasks will always be a subject of demand.

Are you interested in the lore? If so, how would you evaluate our fight with the Legion? What's gonna happen next in your opinion?

I'm quite orientated in the current lore, but I wonder where Jaina Proudmoore disappeared to. Women are problematic, so I assume the matter is based on this hypothesis. However, if I am not supposed to be joking, I think Azeroth will be saved, followed by a short time period of peace and a sudden appeareance of N'Zoth and we will all die by his tenacles. Some stuff of that kind. Ok, still joking. I want to be suprised how this all ends!

Then let's be suprised together how the story unfolds. I wonder what so-called Metzeneers have in store for us. Anyway, thanks for the oppoturnity for doing this interview with you. I wish you best of luck and successful progress in honing your drawing skills. You can probably expect a visit from yet another customer. *laughter*

Thank you very much and I hope the readers didn't get bored by me. If you want to see more of my work, visit my Facebook page or follow me on Instagram, where the process of my (un)finished concepts is continuously being uploaded. This is a farewell on my part. I'm on to saving Azeroth!
