My Night Elf Hunter
Yesterday I finished up the second piece of the two image set, this one being my Night Elf hunter.
I don’t feel this one was as successful as the the previous one I did of Jen’s Night Elf, I’m not sure what it is about it that doesn’t sit right with me, I have a feeling it is the head again.

Decided to try my hand at a World of Warcraft piece for a change. I’ve had a rough idea in my mind for a while of some drawings I wanted to do of Jen’s Night Elf Hunter, Kehra, for a while now.

My first Nintendo product was a DSLite, I know, I fail, but growing up I was always a Sega kid, I preferred Sonic the Hedgehog over Mario. That said when I did get my hands on a NES/SNES/N64 I did enjoy playing it.
But it was the DS that was a first purchase, and I have enjoyed some of the quirky little game mechanisms that the DS presented (like blowing into the mic to get a fire started in Lost in Blue 2 etc).

Almost everyone has one of those family members that gets you the stereotypical gift of socks, or a jumper etc.
My Nan was one of these people, each year she would get one of those gifts, be it socks or perhaps a pack of handkerchiefs.

Lately I have been messing around with a tutorial James White posted regarding his “O Series” of pieces. I decided to experiment with it somewhat with not so geometric shapes and make a wallpaper for Jen.

During packing in preparation for the move, I had a chance to look over some of my old paintings and sketchbooks. In part this was down to nostalgia but mostly it was down to a problem I have that I have been trying to overcome.
This problem is a big case of being burned out.

Zompocalypse Now
The Hallows End festival was in full swing, people were running around trick or treating, cramming candy until they were sick, when the arrival of the Argent Dawn echoed the coming doom (which I guess is why the patch was called Echoes of Doom, whodathunkit) that was lurking.
