Well, I've finally managed to get my main World of Warcraft character to the maximum level of 80, so hopefully that means I won't feel the obsessive need to play it in every free moment now and I'll be able to get some stuff done now, like new art, for example. Seriously, I love the game, but I hate what it's done to me.

I haven't forgotten about my commissions--I still have three on my plate right now. I'm sorry for making you guys wait so long. I also intend to resume my comic and to do that picture I planned to celebrate 10,000 pageviews, even though I'm now over 11,000. I think it's such an awesome idea that I still wanna do it.

Here's to productivity!

For information on what the LQC project is, click here.

Commissions are currently negotiable. I'm still toying with the idea, but you're welcome to note me with what you'd like me to draw and what you'd be willing to pay for it. I just might be persuaded.

I am open to art trades. If you want to do a trade, send me a note with your proposal and we will discuss. As for requests, I normally only take them if I love your idea so much that I absolutely have to draw it, but for special occasions (which will be announced in my journals), I do make exceptions.

Suggestions on how I can improve my art or my characters are always welcome.

LQC characters:

While you're here, take a look at my scraps! There's some pretty cool stuff in there--almost good enough to post as deviations, but I prefer not to post uncolored drawings in my gallery.

Other artists' drawings of my characters:

=Eggplantm drew me a great picture of Turja with his character Taurus (top left) as a prize for winning a guessing game. I liked it so much that I commissioned him to draw Austra (top center), Sadie (top right), Ambiri (bottom left), and Turja and Lacerta together (bottom center). I can't stop paying this guy to draw my characters!

Also check out these two from ~Itchyscratchy:

On the left is a sweet-looking Sadie, and on the right is Lacerta with his character Beak Freak Geek. I've been meaning to draw one (or more) of his characters, but I just haven't found the time.

Finally, I commissioned =King-Cheetah to draw Sadie as well, and it's posted on Fur Affinity: [link]

Okay, so I haven't been looking at, posting, or commenting on art here all that much over the past couple of months or so, largely because I've become a huge World of Warcraft addict. But I have noticed that I've reached the milestone of 10,000 pageviews! Many thanks to all of you who have visited my page over the past three years and allowed me to accomplish this feat. I am planning a special picture to commemorate this momentous occasion, but I have a few commissions I need to work on first. I'm hoping to have more time to draw over the next few weeks.

I encourage you to keep visiting my page, faving, and leaving thought-provoking comments. All of this is much appreciated! And if you need me, I'll be in the Eastern Plaguelands.

Just the basic version. I now own the #1 piece of time-wasting software in the world! Soon there will be another n00b wandering the land of Azeroth!

I've crossed the threshold of 7000 pageviews, and to mark this occasion, I'm offering the chance to win a free pencil sketch! To win the sketch, be the first person to leave a comment on this journal with the proper response to the following line:

Dental plan!

If you haven't yet seen my poll regarding the possibility of an LQC video game, check it out here [link] .

I've been tagged again, this time by ~D-WRECK, and I'm going to do this thing. I thought of a couple more facts I wish I'd put in my last "tagged" journal, and I wanted something to knock that confusing Dethklok journal that nobody got off my front page. You know how this works...

The rules:
1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must put 8 random facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal about these facts
4. At the end post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5. Go to their page telling them they're tagged.

1. I used to love collecting Garbage Pail Kids cards when I was little. They were one of my early artistic inspirations. (Sometimes I think I did better shading when I was a kid than I do now.) I had the complete 1st, 2nd, and 3rd series, plus many from later series. Or should I say, have. I still have my collection, which contains over 1000 cards.

2. I'm a bit germophobic. Not to the extent of, say, Howie Mandel, who won't even shake anybody's hand, but when I touch food, I usually do it with my left hand, because I'm right-handed, so I do more stuff with my right hand, thus I touch more things with it, therefore my right hand has more opportunity to come into contact with germs. You'd think that since I want to avoid germs so much, I'd be able to keep my apartment cleaner...

3. I have a bad habit of writing run-on sentences. See above.

4. I may hear the alarm clock going off at 6:30 AM. I may open my eyes a few minutes later. I may get up, eat breakfast, take a shower, get dressed, and go to work. But I'm essentially still asleep until "the fog" lifts from my mind, which usually happens around 11 AM. Then I'm aware of my surroundings, I remember how to do my job, and I'm good to go until quitting time.

5. I write MIDI music on my computer, most of which is intended for my game projects. I have to place each note by hand because I can't play keyboards well, but it usually ends up sounding pretty good. I've also done some arrangements of existing video game music, like the warehouse theme from stage 1 of Double Dragon 3 on the NES [link] , and the Slash Skate Screamers theme from the arcade game The Combatribes [link] .

6. The worst movie I've ever seen is "John Carpenter's Escape From L.A.". The worst movie I've ever paid money to see is "K-PAX".

7. Even though I've been living in my own apartment for three-plus years, I still don't cook for myself much. But I make a nice teriyaki turkey burger, a very good grilled cheese sandwich, and omelettes that are getting better all the time.

8. When I was in college, I had a web page devoted to Mortal Kombat humor that was fairly popular. The page was taken down after I graduated, because they don't let you keep your university web space after you leave. A few years later, I acquired new web space when I opened my Earthlink account. And I think I still have all the stuff that was on the page on a disk somewhere, so I could theoretically put the page back up. But I won't, because the content is now woefully outdated. And, at the risk of incurring the wrath of the ~MoRTalKOmBAT-KLub, I must say that I'm not quite the MK fan I used to be.

I'm not going to tag anybody. I don't feel like hunting for people to tag, and most people have already done this thing anyway.
