My Life in WordsThoughts, scribbles, doodles, videos.
Welcome to my blog where all my thoughts and ideas get put into text. |

I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it! I've been very busy the past few weeks, in no small part due to my new ventures with video recording, editing, and drawing. What has me the busiest so far is definitely the drawing.
I've recently started doing commissions of player characters from the World of Warcraft, and it's going so great! I've completed four so far, with another one on the way. Hopefully, I'll receive another couple commissions before the month is out. So far, since I'm building the pose and the background from scratch, it seems to be taking me anywhere from 2-4 days, depending on the race of the character. This male Pandaren definitely took the longest, clocking in at 4 days total. My shortest was a female undead, taking only about 6 hours, followed by a female Tauren taking about 2 days. I'm creating an art portfolio on DeviantArt, and I'll add a link in the "About Me" section of this website, so stay tuned for those pictures getting uploaded. For now, here's a sneak peak at my latest completed commission!

Alright, I finally finished it! Here is my photoshopped version of Leona in a corrupted moon-style skin. I have no idea what to make for her background, aside from liking the idea of having an eclipse as a part of it (the moon is eclipsing the sun). As a result, I'm using the picture you currently see in the background until I can come up with something on my own that will also match the colouring that I did. I've also posted the picture in the League of Legends forums here in the general discussion thread and again in my own thread in the fan art forums and the player concepts forums. I haven't seen the OP on the forums lately, but hopefully he'll see my drawing soon and like it! I'm still learning photoshop, so I'm sure it could be better, but this is my best work so far, so I'm pretty excited about it. If anyone thinks they can do a better job colouring it and wants the original file, I have it available, and may make it available to download. Sources:

I did my best with what I had available at the time, though I'm planning on redoing the colouring with Photoshop (my trial ran out of time). If you're reading this, and you like/have an interest in the idea, bump the thread for us, so hopefully people who are a better artist than I can also see it, and potentially create a more spiffy piece of art. The photoshop version will also have a proper background, so that way she isn't just on a white sheet of paper. Hopefully, I'll have it redone by early next week. I hope the OP likes it! Other games exist? Apparently I've forgotten to play anything except for PSO 2, which means I've been neglecting my Xbox 360 and my WiiU. This is something that must not stand, so as a result, I am going to be partitioning my time between the three systems (PC, Xbox 360, WiiU) to ensure an appropriate amount of play time for each system. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch In other game related news, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch release this past Tuesday! I have yet to own a PS3 but I do plan on purchasing one in the next month or so to be able to play this game; there's something too appealing about Studio Ghibli making a game to incur much resistance on my part. Hopefully my holiday bills and current expenses will be dealt with by mid-February, so I can finally pick up a PS3 to play this stunning game. Tonight I'm planning on playing a couple matches of Anarchy Reigns on my Xbox 360 before logging on to PSO 2 to work on completing the Valentines event. I've already gotten the Rappy Barrel, though I'm not leveled enough to actually use it, and have one more Client Order to complete before I've officially finished off the event! The lobby looks awesome though, and the music for the event makes me hope they release it as an actual song to purchase, so I can reminisce about the event long after it has ended. Links:

The graphics really do look like the screen shot above this blurb, and they last for the entirety of the game. The combat is simple to pick up, but learning it and making it flow is something that even the most hardcore gamers could enjoy. For anyone who hasn't checked out the game yet, there should still be a demo available on Xbox Live and the Playstation Network; if you're lazy, however, feel free to click the link below to open up a youtube video showing an awesome trailer.
