Vaard

A World of Warcraft character/art page for my Draenei paladin Vaard, with a few others scattered through

wow housing has me in such a big slice of life mood. Still working on the colors for this that I'll finish eventually. Ft. @pridemother.bsky.social 's Almaeth One of these days I'll figure out what Vaard's bang-side looks like. You'd think I would have it figured out after 14 years of drawing him.

After wanting this mount for more than a decade, I buckled down this last year and my work is finally done. That took so long but it was worth it. One mount left to get and I can leave the Argent Tournament for good.

I really wish we had a mount audio slider in-game. I haven't heard my mounts in years unless I turn everything else down and listen really hard. I miss the clip clops, I miss the mount sounds. They all ride so silent aside from a few flying sounds.

As a solo player with bad hands who doesn't run instances, this is some of the most fun I've had in WoW in a long time. I have so much to do, and for the first time I can gear like I've never been able to, across multiple things I can pick from. I wish I could thank the devs who made this happen.

Really happy with how my daylight artisanal room 'backyard' is turning out that'll be connected to the kitchen. Spent the last 3 days poking at this and I've bought way more grass clumps than I will ever use again.

I've been learning Rebelle 5 as a new painting program the last few years, scribbling various experimental pieces from other games I've been playing with a friend. It may replace Clip for me. Ft Almaeth @pridemother.bsky.social Red Dead Online Ark Survival Ascended Random Wow piece (he's engaged)

I've been back on my monster hunter kick lately and I don't think I ever posted a few of the monster hunter scribbles I have from World over here. World has one of the best player models for Vaard outside of Wow. I put him in every game I play if it lets me. World fits is face So well.

Every time I think wow can't possibly get any prettier, the art team ups it time and time again. Midnight is absolutely GORGEOUS. I can't get enough. Whole sections that looks straight out of concept art but I can run around in it like a normal zone. Ft. @pridemother.bsky.social 's druid, Almaeth

Midnight is going to be an interesting one for Vaard. His connection with the light is minimal at most, he's a paladin by mostly name but good at hiding it. He has the training but not the apt, scraping through by the skin of his teeth to a paladin title at the bare minimum despite his best efforts.

I don't think I ever posted this here, but I like to redraw this particular piece every handfull of years. It's well overdue for an update, but this is the best tracker I've been able to make for how my art's slowly developing and coming into its style as the years go on

3 drawing side by side done several years apart to show improvement and art progress

New year, new art. I have so much rust to knock off. Trying more of a tarot style that was quite fun. Picked lilies for rebirth since Vaard's come a long way in the last 13 years, and developed and overcome a lot as a person since the crash.

One of my hopes with the dynamic car being left in Undermined, is a Plunder Storm styled mode that's just a wacky version of WoW Mario Kart, power ups and all but goblin style. That would be so fun. The car was difficult to drive in Undermined, but put it on a track and it'll be perfect.

Now that it's been a few weeks and time to play with the housing system, it's housing masterpost time! I would love to see what everyone's been working on. If you have something you'd like to show, please post it in a comment here! I want to see e v e r y t h i n g.

A big wish for upcoming WoW housing items are more everyday clutter. We have a large selection of forges and anvils, but no forks, no bowls, no dishes, no folded towels or blankets, no living clutter. I make due with pillow fabrication but my soul desires more mundane everyday items.

A few more housing tweaks. I can't stop adding. I can't stop redoing. I've done nothing else for two and a half weeks. My trading post tasks languish, my weeklies collect dust.

I think I can finally call the bedroom and the bathroom complete, at least until I get more furniture types in Midnight which will definitely get me to redo my house. Now on to the rest of the place.
