This is my first World of Warcraft fan art, the Darkmoon Faire has always been one of my favourite places in Azeroth. I really liked the Hot Buttered Popcorn toy and Balloons and thought it might be a cool idea to make something to go with them!
My idea behind this piece was about the latest invention of the founder and leader of the Darkmoon Faire - Silas Darkmoon.
The concept stage had gone through a lot of changes, trying to decide between a traditional approach of a wooden popcorn cart, or a steaming, moving popping machine. I have settled on the latter as it feels more in place with Silas Darkmoon, as Gnomes are known for their engineering skills.
