Even though we don't live in the same country, because of housing I get to watch blizzcon with a friend, together in the same house sitting side by side for the first time. I love housing so much, thank you so much for creating this system @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com ft @pridemother.bsky.social

12.2 can't come fast enough. Housing updates can't come fast enough. Wrath remix can't come fast enough. I got way too excited watching all of the panels yesterday. I have waited for Night Elf paladins for so, so long. Everything incoming is so far up my alley. The Wow-souls mode also looks fun!

A little Tomodachi life Vaard I forgot to post from earlier this year. Drawing on the switch is definitely a challenge, he's a little scribbly, but he's recognizable and is obsessed with his guitar.

The new Sentinel Hill Rocking Chairs makes the BEST couch throws when turned backwards! My couch looks so cozy now. Sorry for 2 housing ramblings in one day, I am reveling in season 2's items.

Oh the new flat dyeable wood panels makes such a huge difference Before and after. I have so much to redo now that I can do colored floors and ceilings.

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.

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

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.

A few unfinished projects of either scribbles or story progression things. Not sure if I'll ever get around to finishing these, but I'm trying to sketch more and get back into it! Ft: @pridemother.bsky.social 's Almaeth

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

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

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.

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.

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

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.

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

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.

I've gotten so many DMs about my spiral staircase, here's a few breakdown screenshots. The two items are just a pillar of your choice and a beam style of your choice. The beams are default size and only adjusted up or down depending on your character's height using the empty staircase room!

Some work in progress shots of my coffee shop with an apartment above it. I'm quite proud of how some of this is turning out.

A cluttered kitchen with some mild fabrication for the stove and dishes in the sink

I'm oddly proud of how this bathroom is shaping up.

The start of the coffee shop counter, and fabricated stairs up to the living space.

I'm quite proud of my 9 item stove top. All ovens are functional.

I'm finally farming up mount grinds I've been putting off for well over a decade. I love these old mounts so much. I just wish draenei didn't always have a chronic case of Tiny Mounts. It's more than a little painful for 99% of mounts. I'm so happy to finally have these two after so long.

The new lean emote's great. I get to hang out with Brann in delves while I wait for CDs to come back before a last boss.

Vaard's 7th legion set is finally being retired as he himself retires to buy that coffee shop and pick up some for-hire work on the side. There's still placeholder pieces and the belt eludes me, but this is the vibe of his new 'affordable average guy adventurer' set. Art of this will be next.

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

This bountiful event is a lot of fun. Rivendare's Charger in particular has elude me for well over a decade after seeing it drop once in my noob days but I didn't roll on it, not knowing both factions could use it. That cursed memory has been erased. I can rest easy and no longer be haunted by it.

If I don't get my belt drop by tuesday I'll probably go ahead and post the new mog even if it still has some placeholder pieces. Vault RNG for mythic tints has not been kind to me the last month of trying to get what I'm after. I might not have sketches yet, but I can at least post the new mog!

After 7 years in the same mog, I'm finally retiring Vaard from the 7th Legion set and retiring him from the Stormwind army as a whole. He's getting that coffee shop and moving to a more basic adventuring armor set that I can show off later once I get the last pieces for it. I'll get a reveal soon!

One hope for WoW housing is the ability to add decoration permissions to friends. One thing a friend and I loved to do is hide a cursed little doll in each other's houses in XIV for the other to find occasionally, and it turned into a multi-year long tradition. I'd love to be able to do that in WoW

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

I am so excited for player housing. The recent player previews look great and I can't wait to get my hands on it. It's gone above and beyond what I dared to hope for out of WoW. Regardless of how limited/bountiful the furniture themes are at launch, I can't wait to start fabricating stuff.
