Hey, how about instead of spewing bile and alienating commentors, I post about something positive?
Well, first off, that pic of Ulfrun is coming along… slowly. It’s that horrible decision between “do I work on art?” or “do I play WoW?” Damn you, #firstworldproblems!
Anyway, initial monochrome is done. Still pretty rough at this stage; I’ve got two more layers of “underpainting” before the final render pass, so there’s probably a good… uh, you know. I honestly have no idea how long it takes me to paint these things. I kinda lose track. Anyway, another couple of sessions at least. I’ll have to see if I can reliably run PhotoShop while WoW is open; that way I can try painting in between the LFG tool popping.
Pew Pew: Monochrome
In other tedious news, I got Sigyn to level 40, making her now officially my fourth highest-level character ever. I’ve been jumping her around zones a bit, which hurts considering what an obsessive completist I am when it comes to questing. Not finishing every quest in a zone before moving on makes me… twitchy.
Nonetheless, I’ve decided getting Sig to 60 is more important than doing all of vanilla (Severin has already done that, for starters).
I also caved and bought her some additional Heirlooms;[i] chest and shoulders. The models make me so nostalgic for the days of vanilla!
Anyway, I was kinda down on Paladin for a while — and spending most of that in Westfall probably didn’t help[ii] — but the class got a lot more fun suddenly after about level 20. My terrible fear of social rejection and making an idiot of myself in public[iii] has kept me away from the LFG tool, though I’ve been kinda inching closer and closer towards it lately, especially now that I’ve picked up Holy Shock. I’ll have to go read some “how to be less shit at Healadin” guides or something while I’m at it; Theorycrafting isn’t exactly my forté, though I do generally try not to be totally awful at my class…
Big bad level 40.
It probably says a lot about me as a person that my Paladin — who’s never done anything except solo, plus the odd BG — is specced Holy.
In related news, a truly awful experience with a Tankadin today has made me consider wanting to start to learn to tank. On… my DK, I guess. Can those guys still tank? I’m never sure. Anyway, I have absolutely no clue as to how I’d go about learning to do that. I don’t really want to inflict Bad Tanking on people in LFG…
Except, like, there was that time in VH when the tank DC’d. And I kinda just… picked up where she left off. And no-one (well, except the healer) noticed until like four pulls later. We finished the instance pretty easily, so go me (and the healer), particularly considering I have no tanking spec and no tanking gear. It was kinda fun. Also: Much, much faster LFG. Always a plus.
Well, I now — thanks to two blue drops — have a whopping 431 def. Er… DK tanks need def, right?
Man, I have no fucking clue.
Finally:
Vroom! Vroom!
Woo-fucking-hoo!
I have been saving up for this thing for ages. They’re about 20k on my server, and I am absolutely rubbish at earning gold. I hit about that after completing Seeker on Severin… then blew about 3k of it in one hit buying crappy crafted ilvl 200 epics so I could solo the three group quests I needed in Icecrown to get Loremaster. I’ve been trying to get that 3k back pretty much since then, but I finally found a Chopper for about 16k the other day, so pounced.
I’m now officially poor again, but damn. Motorcycle!
I am such a rad unit.
