OMGWTFBBQ !

By Sarah on March 5, 2008

Yes, two posts in one night, hold on to your wotsits people.

Ok, if I’m to be honest my protracted absence has had a little to do with my MMO habit. So in the spirit of sharing here’s some more ‘stuff’. A while back I did a ‘fan art’ pic for someone of their ingame character, so it kinda gave me an idea. As you probably know I play Guild Wars, have been for almost two years now, and my main has got quite a collection of prestige armour now. Pretty much all of the ones I actually like anyway. There’s one left I want to get for her before Guild Wars 2 comes out and she has to go into retirement, and that’s Obsidian, also know as FoW (Fissure of Woe) aromour. The only problem is, it’s the most expensive armour in the game… the price depends really on the cost of crafting materials, specifically ectos (Glob of Ectoplasm) and Obsidian Shards – the can only be dropped in teh Fissure or the Underworld, the original “elite” end game areas of the first campaign, Prophecies (as it’s known now).

If truth be told, I could have bought it a couple of times over at least by now. I have ten characters, and 8 of those are wearing ‘elite’ armour and a couple have multiple sets… FoW costs around 500,000 I think at the current ecto price if you buy from a trader, and I just don’t get the time to login and farm for them. Jaysus ! Where was I going with this… oh yeh, anyway I’m thinking of putting up a commission thread in the GW forum I go to. Sooo… anyway, below is a digital paint I did for Rugal, who seemed pretty happy with it and under that is the one I’m currently working on – a double portrait of Saraphim (my main) and my other half’s warrior. :)

Rugal

Saraphim1

I’m pretty pleased with it so far, obviously it’s not finished. There’s a beasty missing from the shot that the hubster’s warrior is sat on. ;)

So while I’m here, you may as well say hai! to the girls…

Saraphim

Saraphim and her Black Moa (and her Black Moa mini pet)

Sarafina & Luthien

My Necromancer, Sarafina & my Warrior, Luthien.

Elessa & Tara

My Monk, Elessa and my Ranger, Tara.

Ruta & Marisa

My Assassin, Ruta and my Paragon, Marisa.

And on top of all that, would you believe I’m about to hit level 70 in World of Warcraft with my Paladin, also called Saraphim.

Saraphim

So now you know… and that might give you an idea of where I’ve been when I haven’t been working… ;)

Actually looking at those has made me realise i need to adjust the saturation on the painting, it’s way too washed out as is….

Buahahahahahaha…..

Couple of Oldies

By Sarah on March 5, 2008

I’m wondering if I should make a category “Stuff I never got paid for so it’s going up on my site whether you like it or not! ;)

Anyway, here’s some oldies done for a friend a couple of years back. I don’t think it’d take a genius to work out what it is. Well hopfully not anyway! I’m in the process of doing a “smudge painting of the face, a bit like the haberlin tutorial painting I did all those moons ago.

So what’s been happening I hear you cry, all erm.. one of you. Well I’m still freelancing, and I seem to get less spare time than I ever did before.. which is not a bad thing I guess. I’m hoping I’ll be able to post some of the work I’ve been doing soon. I did some stuff for Cartoon Network via a 3rd party publisher that I was really pleased with. Got to design characters for one of the better CN IPs. Just for the game of course, but it would be sooo cool if they ever turned up in the tv series! Not much chance of that but ya never know. Anyway, that was fun.. I’ll post about it when it goes live.

So wedding details? Well, the other half and I will tying the proverbial knot in June, and are going to NYC for ten nights for the honeymoon. I promised myself we wouldn’t get married until we could afford to go out there for a decent amount of time, so we’re really amped about that. I think our 17th anniversary is a pretty good time to get married. :D

Oh well, of course I must mention the superb Christmas and Valentines presents I recieved from aforementioned hubby to be. He got me a pay and go (I don’t like contracts, I recieve more calls than I make) Sony Ericsson W910i for Crimbo and the rather fabtastic Microsoft Reclusa gaming keyboard for V Day. One thing you can say about my man, he knows how to make a girl happy! I think he was just a bit fed up with my keyboard having half it’s letters MIA from the pounding I’ve given them. Needless to say Ctrl and Z were the first to disppear….
