intentional implementation that plays to WoW's strength in art style than just "realistic lighting." Places where the fog works great (that ive been) are the dark forest in the nw of Zephyr, the wetlands, durotar. places where its meh is tirisfal/darnassus. (attched SSs of my run to riverglades)4/4

The weird realistic lighting in general sort of clashes w the baked in lighting of the original intention of the art direction in some places; it almost feels half-baked. If only it was as intentional as the water, especially the animated texture where the h20 meets land, id "like" it, but 2/4

its hit or miss whether it looks good in a zone or not; looks wonderful in Durotar but kind of ass in the Barres. There's a lack of direction in places like Zephyr where it covers up the textured skybox, as if there's no focus. Something outside the fog is making everyting too dark, like Tirisfal1/4

Vie wof My Hyjal from the newly added area west of Thudner Bluff; I prefer the more saturated look here with the Fog disabled; i like how clear Mt Hyjal is, however, it is a giant flat blue object; where with the fog it gets more a gradient, which I think is better (in this zone specfically)

view of Thuder Bluff from the newly added area just west of the City with the fog disabled; everything is wonderfully saturated and the upgraded view distance is very much appreciated

view of Mt Hyjal from the new area added west of Thunder Bluff with the Fog enabled; fog looks semi-decent in Mulgore even if it desaturates everything and makes it all smoke-y; the view of Hyjal is nice, though a bit too obscured; gonna have to play with 0.5 values with the Fog system next time im on.

View of Thunder Bliff with the fog enabled; everything is desaturated and misty; and the view distance is cut. Not as strong visually.

this is the kinda shit that irks me about modern blizz. 1 of your main selling points; this atmo fog thing, directly covering up these beautiful textures (a big strength of wow) as if Depts arent even talking to each other; or like, understanding why this texture would exists to begin with. ???

pleb about oot remake: "this is how we all envisioned OoT as kids!" You envisioned a 'we have a Mark Ryden painting at home'? I envisioned the official concept art. we are not the same. (If nintendo went with a focused Mark Ryden look that would be insane, but amazing lol)

Been wanting to draw this for a while for some reason. How I feel/look in my head never matches the mirror; and I fight every day to sculpt my body in the way I want, but I've got one of those resistant body types, so every day is a struggle for survival. But i did it once i can do it again. maybe..

drawing on left, "how i feel & look to myself in my head." conventionally attractive fit body type;
drawing on the right, "how I look in the mirror," a drawing of someone with very exaggerated and unbalanced body proportions; tiny head on top of broad wide shoulders that are cut and fight, with muscled pecs; but then a wide, fat filled midsection and wide hips; the arms and legs below the thighs are pencil thin.

Every time i look in the mirror im taken by surprise, like, no way thats me....

My WoL is Hyur. Boring maybe but after I came out I stopped playing nonhumans in games becuz I wanted to be an idealized version of myself. Rhivryn is that. Everything I wish I was, & strive to be. He's based on an OC I designed with lore unique from XIV, but the XIV version evolved into his own.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula 🦇 Carmila the Blood Knight, General of the forces of the Dark Lord, she spills blood gladly in his name. She lives by the moniker, "if you do something you love, you'll never work a day in your life."

Carmila the Blood Knight. She has long raven black hair, the bangs are stylishly cut. She wears blood red plate mail, parts of which are made to look like human muscle tissue, while other parts are fashioned in the shape of bat heads. She wields a bloody spear. Her eyes are blood red, the irises a sinister yellow, the pupils beady and jet black. She's hunting you.

#wolqotd / #wolquestion My WoL, Rhivryn Shaw; originally a BElf PLD in WoW (also where his name came from, 2 gen'd names -> one) Nick from HS isn't so much a inspo as he is just SO Rhiv coded. Pure hearted, Himbo adjacent; the DRK quests don't vibe well with his lore, so he doesn't have a Fray.

Is there a term for like ... living somewhere for 6 years, and after the colossally long reverse culture shock of coming back mostly wears off, you remember living there and get sad and miss it a lot?? Send me back to Japan

Me in front of My Fuji during the New Years vacation from school

Me climbing Mt Ishizuchi, highest mountain in Western Japan

Me at the Rainbow Sakurajima Hotel on Sakurajima during a summer vacation from school (highly recommend!)

Just binged Motto Ganbarre Nakamura Kun in one sitting and damn, very funny but somber and melancholy; great anime based on a manga i really like; it really spoke to my lived experience as a gay man. & it captured the manga art style so well! Big rcmd!! Also it made me miss Japan so so so so much.

why is the universe like this to me? several decades of nothing fully applicable for me; and then when I give up and try to go do something else; an inundation of things I would actually have a chance of getting.

several e-mails from Linked-In for roles I have been searching for for decades such as Storyboard Artist Apprenticeship and 2D Game Artist Internship

Didn't realize the James Webb was SO FAR out. I thought it was like, ISS distance.

screenshot of a Voyager 2 Tracker software from some site; but I changed the viewing criteria to the James Webb Space Telescope in relation to Earth; it's quite far out beyond even the orbit of the Moon, maybe 3 or 4 times as far out! With an even huger Orbit?? That is *wild*.

Finally made use of the brand new Race Change service for #FFXI Not *entirely* sold on the Hume male Face/Hair combos... wish there were more options; BUT, I'm loving the change so far, loving the different animations. Feels really good. We'll see if it sticks or I change again l8r #FinalFantasyXI

Rhivryn and Aerron are both gay. For Rhiv, yes it's something that's new to him and he's figuring it out. I want Aerron to be free and open about it, and for Rhiv to be inspired and attracted to that freedom to be yourself. It's definitely important to them, but not quite in the same way ...
