Around Azeroth: Buccaneers and tentacles
The painting? Oh, yes, the painting. Well, I've always wanted to redecorate the old houseboat, and after I successfully sued Disney for copyright infringement when the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie came out, I finally had enough gold to do it. So I commissioned this from some local Kalu'ak artists. I think the mangled flesh sets the perfect romantic atmosphere. More wine, my dear? Are you leaving already? Well, I guess it's just you and me again tonight, Steak Whale. (Thanks to Cuco of <Little Known Secret> on Blackwater Raiders for the screenshot!)

Ugh...that damned mustache. Although it looks good here with the pirate garb, it most definitely does NOT look good on my priest!
Blizzard said, "Thank you for bringing this to our attention" and promised that they would look into the matter back when it first "mysteriously" cropped up. I guess they found out that the CEO's 4th grader put it in there and didn't dare take it out or something, eh, Blizz?
Cool screen shot, but needs more rum :-)

Blizzard has an obvious Van Dyke bias.

That is one Salvador Dali looking painting right there. I wants it for my mantle, too!

Salvador Dali?
Clearly you don't know the man's work. What's going on in that painting actually could happen in real life--there is a rational thought behind it. Salvador Dali's paintings were surreal and completely beyond logic and proportion.

Oh snap! You just got (art)school'd, dogg!

I wasn't talking about the content... I was talking about the way it simply LOOKED.

Actually, that couldn't happen in real life...not if you know anything about the anatomy of living creatures....it has no organs, just muscle/meat.

That is actually a pretty cool looking painting.

reminds me of Jack Sparrow a bit, must be the tentacles ;)

Well, I've never liked Draenei, and I laughed so hard at the mustache glitch when I saw it.
However, I've got to admit this is a pretty damn cool screenshot. The mustache actually fits perfectly, and he doesn't look half bad in that hat. ;D Definite PotC vibe, he really does resemble Jack Sparrow somehow with the dreads. Could be Davey Jones too with the tentacles. xD

Skimmed the title of this article, initially read "Pirates and Testicles".
But yes. Yummy steak whale.

Glad it wasn't just me then.

Thats Davy Jones half-way transformed from human to -- "that" .
Now we know the truth ! Calypso has been dating a blue alien !

Him was a ~MAN~, once.

That painting looks like it was done by Mark Ryden. If you like it, check out his site (markryden.com). He's got all sorts of freaky surreal stuff like this. I wonder if whoever designed it for WoW was a fan.

Looks familiar....
