World of WarCrafts: Flickpainting and a playtime playlist

In the wake of the torrential magnificence of the cosplayers at BlizzCon and Dragon*Con in recent weeks, we're going to dial back the sheer creative force this week. Let's catch up with more humble creative efforts with a new take on an old favorite (yes, it's another take on fabric painting) plus a playlist of WoW machinima and songs designed especially as an accompaniment to your playtime.
Flickpainting
Serthida of US Bloodhoof-H sent us yet another fresh take on Sugarrat's wildly popular bleach shirt. Serthida has created a bandana, but the approach works equally well on tees and other fabric.
Click through the gallery below for complete instructions.
While this isn't an original creation per se, we think it's a super way of bringing the sights, sounds and energy of WoW into your gaming or work sessions. If you've been looking for something to keep your attention during flights or for background companionship while you work or study, look no farther than Richwarf's YouTube WoW playlist. Richwarf keeps the two-year-old playlist updated with new WoW-related music, videos and machinima. "The best thing to do is play all and pop a mark in the random box," he suggests. He welcomes recommendations and suggestions for the list via YouTube private message. Sounds like a natural for anyone who plays with a laptop or second system next to their main screen.
World of WarCrafts is looking for WoW filkers. (What's that? If you're unsure, you're not one -- but stay tuned, because we'll track one down and show you the scene!) Filkers and other creative types, please contact us via our tips line (attention: World of WarCrafts). Not-for-profit work only, please.Filed under: Machinima, Fan stuff, Features, Fan art, World of WarCrafts

I like the Horde symbol better but now that I've faction changed to Alliance so that I can raid with real-life friends I'm going to make/get an Alliance shirt.

The "Heal and Don't Die" video was catchy--I like the YouTube list-makes it easier than me constantly having to search on my favorite content.

Maybe it's just the background colours, but that horde one looks awesome. The alliance one looks like graffiti you'd find on a subway wall though. -_-

I actually have to agree, the Horde one is pretty badass (and IMHO everything that is evil in this world has ties to the Horde).
Why do the crafters shy away from the Alliance lion so much, I love that stupid symbol. I'd much rather that than IF hammers.

I would've done the Alliance lion, but the material I made my stencil out of is really flimsy when it's off of the backing, and would have been very difficult to manage with all of the fine lines on the graphic. If I were to do something for Alliance in the future it'd probably be the Lordaron "L" symbol. (even though it's ours now, suckers!)

Very nice, Serthida. Very nice, indeed.
