Man, she's sooo ugly. I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it, she's really ugly there.
It is not about the sunwell but rather the principle a lightshard was bleeding arcane energy, so the arcane and light are fundamentally related. The sunwell is a combo of pure light and arcane. Whether you consider it holy doesn't really matter, it is more how do you draw the line? What is holy and what isn't, you either consider the light holy or not, what it is used for doesn't matter, after all it is just a cosmic force with no real will of its own.
Well, she's redhead. Natural redheads are always ugly with no make up. No exceptions.
Anyway not everyone can be beautiful, at least she's looking somewhat badass. Those golden eyes looks cool on Blood Elf, also she finally received some better looking armor. Only those ears are strange, kinda goblin-alike.
Liadrin is an older Blood Elf who has been through some seriously trying times (the resurgence of Zul'Aman, the Third War, the Sunwell Plateau campaign, etc.) - it makes sense her features would be harsher and more lined with both age and weathering. As for her golden eyes, I think the art is meant to capture her in an instance of channeling the Light in a spell-like ability. Her eyes are normal Blood Elven green otherwise.
"We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Am I the only one that thinks her face looks weird? It looks really masculine to me
Went with green - so before blood elves got help.
Also skinner frame, angular head, curved back ears.

Well you can say what you wan't you're still wrong though.

No they werent. The majority of Blood elves were siphoning magic from magical creatures.

Blood of the Highborne hints that she is much older than both Rommath and Theron.

Maybe they are trying to go back to the vicious look the blood elves had in art with more angular features?
Holy isn't something good anyway from what we've learned recently. It's not bad either that is. Just an aspect that anyone can use.
Me tooOMG!!!! I hope blizzard add this option eye color for blood elf paladin in wow
But for alllll the paladins...!
If the Sunwell has holy energies than it's indeed holy. It's not like there's some special requirement for something to be considered "holy" except possessing light energies which are universally considered holy.
Loved those arts.
Once again, you have to learn your lore. Siphoning fel was never the requirement to feed their addiction, magic in general was. Rommath's teachings taught the Blood Elves how to siphon magic from living beings, like mana vampires. They could sate their addiction without sucking a drop of fel.
What the Scarlet Crusade was doesn't matter. Don't push morality into this matter. The Light is an holy energy and the power itself was no "less holy" in the Scarlet's hands than it was on anyone else.
Directly or indirectly, all of his posts are fap sex related.
Those ears...the hell? They seem horns. It doesn't seem the same artwork.
...
Really? I say the vast majority of both official and fan art follows the barbie girl way:Unless you're talking about the art itself then, her ingame model won't change. As for Blood Elf fanart they aren't all barbie girls, heck most of it isn't.

I mean...yeah there's SOME like this one, but the ratio is basically 10:1 towards the fap-on-barbie style.
And it doesn't further help that in-game all Blood Elf females are teenage-sounding crystal dolls (except Liadrin who talks like an actual woman). And I know her model won't change, hell Lor'themar received no update in MoP and he played quite a role there.
She has definitely sharp, hard features. Don't think anyone can say much to deny that.
