Ah, nearly three months have gone by since my last post.
Excellent.
I am glad I am so timely with these entries. I was listening to This Week in Tech (a weekly podcast about technology news) and the chattering techies said that although there are about a zillion blogs out there, only 3% of them are updated on a regular basis. Well, its time to reach for the stars, I say. Three percent, here I come!
What have I been doing in the meantime? Well, playing far too many games, and getting up way, way too early in the morning to start my job, for starters. My poor wife. *smiles* I have been playing World of Warcraft a lot as of late, although I have found there is slight problem when my gaming activities increase: I draw a whole lot less. Funny how time is kinda finite, and you actually have to pay attention how you utilize it. Huh.
But seriously, Warcraft has been fun over the last several months, especially when I joined up with fellow UO alum Kazola and the guild Virtus Infinitus on the Argent Dawn server. I have been in several guilds before, but never one of the quality of Virtus Infinitus. Or, I suppose I should say, never one with the quality of people that VI has in it. (Well, Ok, one other, the Incarnates, but that was pretty much myself and a good friend only) . Everyone in VI is just plain nice. People are always willing to help out and give of their time.
Which brings me to the above sketch you see today. It’s of Atreu, a paladin in our guild. His night elf huntress companion Onnika was kind enough to make my hunter some lovely Black Dragonscale armor. (Very, very nice.) And so, in trying to repay the kindness, I have drawn a picture of Onnika and Atreu which will find its way into a soon-to-be-made World of Warcraft gallery on the main site. But then I kept on drawing, and began doing portraits of both of them as well. Both are still incomplete, but I thought I would put Atreu up here to show you what I’ve been working on since that is, in point of fact, the reason for this little daily sketchbook-thingy. Boy, its late. I’ll post some more WoW sketches soon.
