Some random thoughts

Posted on February 26, 2010 in On Traces of Chaos, Thoughts & Musings
  1. My artwork in Traces of Chaos is far too details. True it, takes time to get the basics right and squished faces are creepy, but colouring Des’ cornrows or painting those overly detailed backgrounds? That’s just annoying.
    I guess I’m not complaining about the art taking time, but squandering my limited drawing time where it doesn’t enhance the story or the world. It may be pretty, but how important can a wall of stone be?
    Wait. Don’t answer that. I know the script.
  2. Still hate my blogs header. On the other hand, it’s not eyesearing and right now everything but important.
  3. trarr.nets page design is coming along nicely – but it turned out much more minimalistic than I expected.  Not sure what to think about that yet.
  4. I like blogging. It’s kinda like writing diary, just that I have to watch out what I am actually writing. There’s definitivly something like TMI in blogging. ;)
  5. Speaking of diaries: For the first time in my life, I’ve actually written a diary full. From the beginning to the end. Well, it’s not quite full yet, but it will be tomorrow or monday, depending on when I write in it the next time.
    I’m proud of that. Really, I am.
  6. I wuv my diary. And my blog. Writing stuff actually helps me in figuring out what I am thinking.

[WoW] Only 8 level left! And I got my butt out of Outland!

Bye Bye Outland!

Bye Bye Outland! You wont be missed.

Okay, some of the areas were cool, or at least better than Burning Steppes; But man, the armour is an eyesore. Poor Fluffy, his pet-hunter looked like a clown with a sidebusiness in stripping for the majority of the last few levels.  And it’s hard to make an orc gal look like a clown.

Seriously, Northrend is much better.

I got some decent chest armour, something that covers more than just the nipples.  I replaced that ugly leg armour with the rips around the crotch with some decent leather pants. And those bright yellow shoulders I’d been using for the last 15 levels? Finally gone! An Orc girl has needs, damnit. It’s mainly the need not to freeze to death, granted, but still…  And a few hours and two level later?

It still looks too cold, though.

It *still* looks cold, though. Bare arms when your breath is crystalizing? Brr. I guess orcs are just that tough...

Much better.

We finally look like a respectable hunter instead of someone who’s scraped her armour together from the fragments found in bear bellies.Now if those stupid alliance 80s would stop swooping down on their griffons to gank me right when I kited that elite to where I can safely kill it… Seriously, it’s distracting.

I… I might have to learn how to pvp. D:
