September of 2008 saw me finally getting some time to experiment with 3D modeling software. A group within the Myst community had built some tools with which new content for CyanWorlds’ Uru: Ages Beyond Myst game could be created.

My Night Elf Hunter

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.

Jen’s Night Elf Hunter

Jen’s Night Elf Hunter

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.

So this afternoon I sat down and proceeded to try forming one of them.

Wii Would Like To Play

Wii Would Like To Play

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).

Christmas Socks

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.

Space Pwnies Wallpapers

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.

Experiments in Colour

Experiments in Colour

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

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.

Across Azeroth a plague spread, those who succumbed and fell to it found themselves risen up again and starting to hunger for human flesh.
