For the Horde!

Been playing a lot of WoW again lately. As usual, I have returned at a time where its possible for me to obtain lots of upgrades to my gear, which has kept me going. 

The new raid finder feature has allowed me to take part in (with lots of lag and lots of people who swore at each other and called each other various things that I cannot repeat here) the raid against Deathwing. Which was a pretty epic battle, and I managed to help out despite the lag (i.e. I wasn't the last on the dps chart) 

Also, has pretty much made me draw more WoW inspired art. Here are two of the pictures I drew. A Forsaken warrior and a Blood Elf warlock. I  wonder what could have inspired that? 

TASTE THE FLAMES OF SULFURON!

They were delicious.

In terms of productivity...

Warning: WoWSpeak ahead!

Look at your main, now back to me, now back at your main, now back to me.

This weekend might have been what you would either call a waste of time or fucking awesome.

Why is image so small? A wizard did it.

All I know is that Seedus had a hell of a lot of facetime with me this weekend. He managed to get his Red Proto-Drake (rawr!) a couple more iLevel 264 items and thanks to Arjay he scored Quel'Delar (also known as the 5000 gold sword).

Part of the reason why I think I've been playing him a lot is because Fire (which was my levelling spec, ah good times) is now as viable as Arcane and also totally awesome.

Before the 4.01 patch (strokes old man beard) every Mage and his dog was Arcane. I had an off-spec. It was also Arcane, that is how bad it was. Now I can throw fireballs and pyroblasts like a giddy schoolgirl once again.

Just don't look at the crummy offhand. I TOLD YOU NOT TO LOOKS!

The Quel'Delar questline is also pretty freaking Epic, especially if you're a Blood Elf (remember the Sunwell!) I have never seen the bloody Battered Hilt drop, and Arjay had 3 in his bank that he had forgotten about. THREE! I jokingly said that he should give me one and god bless his heart, he sent one to me in the mail.

Most of the quests are solo-able, but I did have to recruit a mighty shaman, stoic warrior and diabolical warlock for some of them. And in the end, the Blade that was shattered was made whole again, a testament to the tenacity of the Sin'Dorei.

Eww, I think I had a little geek-gasm there for a second. Anyway, before I sign off I better also follow up with the fact that I still suck at fixing girls and that I drink way too damn much. But hey, at least this weekend I was productive.

Forsaken

Work in progress of MJ's Forsaken Warrior, Numskull. Still want to go through, texture it, fix up the shadows and glows and then add a cool background.

But this took a while, so here's what I've done so far :P

He does have a Graphics Card

Too bad his character was drunk when he took this screenie =_= 

Also, there was no lens flare, but if Star Trek has taught me anything, it's that lens flare makes things fucking awesome. You could take a picture of like, a homeless man down on his luck with his arse hanging out of his trousers, add lens flare and bam! You've got an epic moment right there. 

Also, being Trollcist doesn't help when you want to run an instance with trolls.
