Random bits of stuff today, full view is better of course, you can find it here. Just patching the test server and getting read to make some dinner, needed a distraction. Far too much real life stuff on my mind lately!

Needed something to occupy my time while I made chili and home made bread, so enjoy! Full view is best, which you can check out here.

I took a little break from gaming yesterday to play around with some more art pieces, learning (yet another) new program that I’m trying to get the hang of. I’m not that great at it yet, it’s a lot more complicated then the previous one I was using, but the images also come out a lot nicer too (as shown above). I want to do an image with my rendition of my EQ necromancer – she’s Drakkin though and I’d like to add the scales / tattoos that cover her body (in red). There’s no post work on the image above, so it still needs a lot of work, but I decided to scrap it and start over again from scratch. 

I did play for a brief bit last night, Ultann is still in the process of moving, so it was just Ninga and I. We decided to do some more Depths of Darkhollow missions, working on getting more of my spells (and a few other pretties in the process). We did one that involved slaying a lot of mushroom men, annoying ones that liked to path funny. 

I also had two glowing runes to turn in (level 70 spells) as well as two greater runes on Kameeko – she finally obtained her level 69 mez and can take care of creatures up to level 73. The previous one only worked up to level 70, so this is a good thing for me. She earned three more aa, and I unlocked yet another tradeskill to 300 instead of 200. Not sur which it will be yet, as I haven’t crafted in quite some time and the guides on leveling on EQ traders are quite out dated. 

The mission runs were fun and relatively painless, since we had to rely on my one mercenary healing us we just did the easy versions. Normally it would be no problem at all to do the hard missions, but alas my mercenary is not the most reliable of healers even on the best of days. 

As we head into March I’m getting more and more excited about the 10th anniversary of EQ. I think it will be great to see old players return to check out the events (there’s no doubt in my mind that a few will at least), and maybe even drag a few new players out that way as well. We’ll just have to see!

As always, happy gaming no matter where you happen to find yourself, see you in Norrath!

Quick thing I did yesterday

Quiet afternoon, decided it had been a little while since I posted anything art-wise. Pernicious is my swashbuckler on the Najena server – the screen shot background is from Vanguard. You can of course find it in full view as well as a few variations on my DeviantART gallery and no doubt tomorrow on ShutterCal.

Happy New Years everyone!

Finally found my muse. Right where I thought I left it. 

Didn’t game much tonight, ran an instance in Commonlands that was pretty fast (I forget the name already) where you have to move the named to different statues or something. Anyhow, I got a master from there too (woohoo). Go see the art piece in full view because the little tiny one here sucks. That’s what I spent the evening doing though. 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Another evening without TSO means 35,788 words on NaNoWriMo, and a bit of art work too. Can be found in full view here. Contemplating starting up a second blog for the art bits, but I hate having multiple places to write in, I’d rather be able to mush all my interests together. I know not everyone likes that though. I tried to siphon out the non-gaming bits, but it doesn’t work for long.

This is a work in progress, the cover art for my NaNoWriMo story. You can find the full version over on my DeviantART site. I haven’t added the text for the cover yet (I don’t know what I’m calling the story) and there’s lots of touch ups to be done, but for a base render, it came out pretty well. Better in full view of course.

She moved with grace, from window to window, looking at the fires burning below. Her footsteps silent on the wooden floors, he watched her, crouched and waiting. 

Full view is best, can find it here.

Didn’t turn out exactly how I had hoped, but spent another evening relaxing doing this instead of any gaming. 11,759 words into NaNoWriMo. Full version is of course far better and can be found here. There’s a million mistakes that I can see and 0 post work done, I want to add sparklies and what not to the version I have planned in my head. Was attempting my wood elf illusionist stargrace, who has that weird hair style of two little pom pom bits on either side. Background is actually a photograph of the sky today here in Ottawa. Hope everyone else had an amazing day gaming. 

Hugs.
