Vaard

I have too many unfinished sketches laying around, but these in particular I really like.

I love how much greenery is throughout the house. Can't wait to see it finished! It's looking beautiful and cozy so far.

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

Trying to make trees and fences look like they're in the distance beyond the window

The new diorama rooms makes for a wonderful perspective window. Still a work in progress but the effect is so nice.

Thanks! Grummle is the one we're absolutely doing first as soon as a friend group get our charter neighborhood up and running so I should get those very soon! Grummle has some wonderful everyday clutter items.

Oh wow! I absolutely love the translucent layering you did to create a convincing sky effect! This is up there with some of the best compact window dioramas I've seen so far, really, really well done!

Thank you!

I've been working on it! I need to redo it though once more items are out, but this is more or less the first pass of it, still pretty unfinished.

Vaard is now retired from the Stormwind forces, runs a small coffee shop, and has moved out of the city to a farm in Elwynn to raise talbuk. Doesn't mean he can't take more adventurous jobs on the side, but they'll be on his terms. He's moving on and healing and finding a life on Azeroth finally.

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.

Hopefully it'll be fixed soon! A friend is unable to use Fangs as well so it definitely seems to be a common issue there with that weapon in particular.

The shield problem I'm less hopeful about being fixed. My pauldrons have been crooked for several expansions now after they broke a while ago.

a shield floating an entire foot away from the player model while sheathed.

I'm really enjoying the new mog system but

Oh no

Shield placement got really messed up, huh

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.

This is beautifully impressive, well done! I've really enjoyed seeing the progress of this!

Somehow I need to figure out how to squish them into my bank when I'm ready to actually play.

It would be nice if dyes got added right to the housing UI like furniture because opening my bags right now is like

What a cool build you have going! I love how reminisce it is of pandaren inns and buildings. It looks like it's been transported straight out of MoP, and I LOVE what you did with the diorama window, oh wow. The amount of room you have in it makes it so believable. Really beautiful job!

This turned out so good! I love how you fabricated your kitchen with the white countertops, and all of the drapes and windows you've added to the walls. I can't wait to see what you do after we hopefully get some good living clutter items to really fill up the surfaces. Your house is wonderful!

Its turning out great so far! I love how you balanced the colors even with the limited tones we have for floors and walls right now. It all fits together beautifully. I especially like the use of the translucent curtain over the hallway and how you framed your inset fireplace! It's looking great!

Oh that's clever. Every piece looks exactly like the instrument it's supposed to be, and the pandaren fishing net makes a fantastic front for a fabricated amp! This is incredibly creative, I love it!

The little cushions making paint on a palette good grief that's clever! I'm so glad you posted an up close of that. I love your vaulted house! The balcony with the painting supplies is so charming. I can't wait to see what you do for the interior!

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.

Absolutely. We need more living clutter. We have all of the big items, but barely any small mundane items. We need more food types too, desserts, vegetables, things to fill the shelves and the tables with, more mugs and silverware, we need pots and pans and general cookery for stoves and counters

I love the amount of clutter in the storage room! This looks so good and so lived-in. I like that you managed to find items to fill the shelving as well! That's something I've been struggling with. Really awesome place, I can't wait to see what you do after we get more housing levels!

Oh wow this looks fantastic! I really like your use of filling the space, how the bedroom nook is filled and organized, and I love love love the loft you have going! I'm also very partial to the fact it's a draenic house. Wonderful work!

Oh this is fantastic! I love how open and airy the windows makes it look. It's rustic with a comforting homey feel that's welcoming. Really beautiful job!

Even without much time on it, it's looking great! I can see where it's going and I love how you've started laying everything out and the pieces you chose for it. The walk-in pantry having a functioning door looks so nice.

Really solid start! I would love to see it when it's finished!

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 closer looks at some nooks I'm proud of.

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.
