I'm just sittin' here, watching the cream make a little galaxy in my coffee cup, and looking at original WildStar artwork. Our community has always been blessed with a abundance of talented artist (both in-game and out!), which means a guy like me pretty much always has some new artwork to drool and/or be jealous over.
 
This is the first banner I made for myself way back in the day. They took our ability to post sig-banners away from us pretty early, and I don't think I ever posted it anywhere else.
 
 
Do you draw? Do you paint or sew or sculpt? Digital media?
 
SHARE!!!!
 
Show me some original artwork today. I don't care if it's yours (though if it's not, please give credit if you can!), I just wanna see what you guys and gals create or enjoy!
 
Heck, show me some cool screenshot or how awesome your house is, or your latest magnificent costume! GIMME! GIMME!
 
Have a great day, Nexus - and I'll see y'all in the battlegrounds tonight!

This is about the most you'll get from me regarding "art"- hahaha
 
This is the image I use to tell people where to stand on ohmna. It's on our assignment sheets. My raid team interprets this as "in the three head phase, pac mans come out and eat us!"In other news, had some fun last night getting my wife's toon attuned for alt raids. Also got a new guild member from someone who saw me posting on the forums and thought we'd be a fun bunch to run with. We blasted through SC and I think he had a good time :D
 
Then we wiped on Academy a bunch and he was still having fun. Finally got through it, but that dungeons is not for the feint of heart. I assume like everything else, once everyone learns it it will be easier, but right now it feels pretty hard!
 
So epiclly funny moment last night while attuning my wife. Her main toon is Crisseyda, which we usually call "Criss". Well, she was on her alt and she was selected as the bomb target on Drokk. I called out her (real life) name over teamspeak, and she just ran headlong into the bombs and died. Then she said "oh, that was me. You called out my name. I didn't hear it because I'm used to you calling me 'Criss'" Haha- ti seems the alter-ego is taking over!

HAHAHAHAHAH
 
Of *course* Jeff's art is a raid diagram.
 
I mean .. OF COURSE it is!
 
That's awesome, man. Holy crap, you did not disappoint!  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Drinking chocolate this morning rather than coffee.  I feel so 18th century.  That said, very little of my costuming, art, or crafting are on the internet outside of facebook.  Here's a shot of the family just a few years ago wearing some of our steampunk gear [ba-dum-tish], but we've a fair variety of "dress up" wardrobe.  Speaking of which, with a convention locally at the end of the month, I do need to get around to updating my 'steampunk green lantern' outfit [not pictured].  Needs more.  Not much more, but still.  More.

My forum avatar is actually a snippit of a commision I had done of my warrior :>  Classic solider set n' all.
 
Would post the full thing, but I'm not sure how the artist would be about re-posting it. 
 
I'll see if I can find any info about it and maybe toss up a small/low res version :>
 
EDIT:  I dug dug dug and found the original post on the artists blog here
 
I would take a look at their other art - absolutely amazing artist. (IIRC I think I've gotten like 4 commissions from them, but mostly WoW characters haha)

Oh I can post some of my art later! Just hard to get at while at work on the mobile app. I love drawing even if I'may crappie at it. xD
 
So yesterday I spent around 10th to unlock rune slots I never should have had to re-unlock in the first place. I kind of hated myself. Then I stared at my runeslots and worked myself into such an anxiety fit over using my tokens on the right runes and my 4 exceptional service and omg is it even worth it if I can't make the 4/6 cynosure and 2 resurgence I need and omg... I closed all my windows, spent another plat on a new outfit, and now have nothing else new to show for that stupid expenditure. x_x Hurgh. At least the new costume turned out good...

I couldn't draw a straight line to save my life  :( so here, have a picture I took the other day of a Green Anole outside my house.
 
 
In Wildstar news, I did some PvP last night and I was laughably bad  :D I did get some gear so maybe that will help...or not :P

PACMAN IS GONNA EAT OHMNA!  Film at 11.
 
But I understand.  My own "art" tends to be the same way.  A Visio effort when Init Core came out:
 
 
 
Anyhow, had an eventful time on Nexus last night.  Did a bit of bumbling around on the warrior alt and then we launched into Datascape.  We'd done a great full clear of GA and the 3 minis the night before (Hooray northern path on the second floor.  Seriously it's a good 10-15 minutes shorter), so we had a date with System Daemons.
 
New strategy (I'll admit I was skeptical at first) not only netted us a kill but the challenge as well, and I picked up a DPS gun (still looking for a Tank gun replacement from Phage Maw though.)  We went on and killed Limbo again and I netted a pair of gloves which for a 120 item are not nearly as good as the 116 Firm Grasp.  I haven't quite figured this one out yet.  I picked them up, but I think the itemization team went for a coffee break here possibly.
 
And doubly happy because we had a number of folks in the raid who due to schedule had not been around for our prior SD kills, so we boosted confidence there for them (including my favoritest healer) and unlocked some nice parting gifts at the glory vendor.  Hopefully that shot of raid kill espresso will settle in for a significant morale boost.  And so monday we're onto Volatility Lattice and Information Mountain (or whatever it's called).  We'd cleared the icy area before, but I think we might be better off pushing progression on Lattice.  We'll see how it goes.  (I cannot bring myself to call it Lettuce like everyone else -- Lattice is such a great word!).
 
Today will feature some more Nexus this evening I believe, though a major nap is in my future this afternoon after leaving work.  Had to take my son to the airport to send him on his way to visit girlfriend and thus rose at 4:30 this morning and at work by 6:30.  Meh.  If I were a coffee person perhaps I would be launching into the day with gusto.  As it is, I'm just kind of plotzing along.

That's the best raid diagram ever- haha. I remember seeing it before. I don't know what kind of comments I'd get if I showed up with that :D

Did someone say SCIENCE?? I certainly don't do any sort of art, but science... I could talk for a while about that galaxy in your cup. Cosmology and theoretical planetary science are a couple of my favorite things that I don't get to spend enough time with anymore.

This is want happens when you people start talking about art and i get suddenly bored at work  :D

One of the things that grabbed me early with wildstar is just how deliciously insane nexus is, with its multiple ring systems orbiting different axes... And its moon that manages to maintain its broken form like a snap shot in time.

That's it!!! That pic just made me think steam punk even though its western.. we need steam punk styles and lots of them.. :D

			My art can be found in my profile photo.

Sorry I haven't been around for a while, work has me so busy.  Right now I'm fighting with java and mozilla.  I haven't been in Wildstar in a few days either.
 
As far as the arts, I'm a writer.  I used to be rather artsy but not really any more.  I don't have the time to pursue drawing and painting and write novels and work full time of course.
 
I miss Wildstar.  I think that's on my agenda for tonight.  Hopefully things have settled down enough to get in and stay in.

			Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?I am not really an artsy type. I did pixel work when RPG Maker 2K3 was all the rage so I guess there's that?These would be my favourite villains. Goldar (Power Rangers), The Shredder (Ninja Turtles) and Lord Zedd (Power Rangers) in Lufia II's art style.There's also these guys. They were to be the main characters plus the main villain. This particular image dates back to when I was unsure which style to use. Sorry about the size, I had to stick to normal sizes for RPG Maker 2k3, eh.I've also modded Don't Starve Together including custom characters but I no longer have the screenshots I took.In Wildstar news, absolutely nothing! I am kind of waiting for things to stabilize and doing housing meanwhile. I found out about the hoverpark pieces so I might create a galactic disco-hoverpark for kicks.More to do! More to do! Also, more to do!

The beginnings of a Recruitment Poster I was working on, pre-F2P transition, when the Dominion was severely needing more people.
 
After the population explosion, post-transition, I just figured it was a waste of time to bother recruiting for a WHOLE FACTION since we seemed to be doing so much better these days.
 
Maybe someday I'll get around to using this or re-purposing it for something else. Just a piece of WildStar art (Toric), one of many versions of the Dominion icon, and a plain old hex grid. Plus, you know, Photoshop.

How about a nice cup of science featuring Cinema Sins and Neil deGrasse Tyson picking Interstellar apart.

I'm home now, so I can post some art! The most recent thing was something I actually posted in a coffee thread just before Drop 6... was just a 30 min sketch of husband and I's characters in my attempt at some... cool? Pose? I dunno.
 
 
 
 
Before that I drew a kind of depressing sketch of my character because... uh. RP? Haha. She and Jack haven't been eating well lately, what with being homeless and sick. XD
 
 
 
 
I post all my art on my tumblr under my "terrible sketches" tag... :D It's not all WS, though. Also some FFXIV, TERA, DA: I, Rift, WoW... and some other things.

			My art manifests itself in cooking. Its hard to share online =(

			After going through my various characters' holo-wardrobe, I have found out that some pieces of equipment no longer exist or drop elsewhere. There is a particular headpiece which I am interested in (see: image below) which used to drop from a rare mob on Farside named Dr. Rothrall. The item itself is called "Zombeanie" but doesn't seem to exist anymore. In fact, this entire costume no longer seems to exist! If anyone has information, please let me know? I love the hat :(	
----
			Sorry, Frozen. I have the hat in my holo-wardrobe, but I no longer know where it drops. >_< I'm pretty sure that chest model is a quest reward in Malgrave, though. At least it was pre-drop 6. Granted, who knows what's changed since regarding that...

You know, that never occurred to me and that's usually one of those things that occurs to me.  And the broken moon is a major feature of Neal Stephenson's Seveneves novel and you're right, it shouldn't just stay there like that.  Bolides should be dropping all over Nexus.
 
I suppose we can chalk it up to awesome Eldan and the grace of Drusera.  Or maybe the Archon.  Or maybe there are shinies inside the moon holding it together until the Lopp get wind of this and commence acquisition.
