Absolutely always. Thank you for the fun in-home watch party!

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

So excited! Everyone is about to look so good once we get our hands on unlocked transmog. Trial of Style's going to get crazy. Multi select and copy/paste is what I've been waiting for to redo my house. I can't wait!

Paladin really should be a default class available to all races at this point. It would be so nice to have a few more universal classes. We have so many paladin NPCs that are races we can't have paladin on, they can do it!

I was so hoping for Gnome paladins. Hopefully one day!

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!

I am SO excited for this!

Great job! I love seeing more Draenei around outside of WoW. I love how well you were able to get his tendrils on there!

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.

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

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.

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

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.

My interior is almost done! Just waiting on some 12.1 pieces to fix placeholders and I can soon call my house done (for now).

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.

2402

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

I love them too. Been riding one named Duruun as my main ground mount for 14 years. Not a fan of the rig being swapped to the unicorn run, it's definitely my least favorite run cycle in the game, but I love the old BC talbuks.

030

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.

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

It's been so nice! I've skated by on world quest gear for so long, which made new open world content extremely difficult and missed out on a lot of past achievements like BFA Visions until they brought them back to be obtainable again for a time. It's been great. I've also picked up tank recently!

120

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

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.

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

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.

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Didn't catch the best weather but the front is looking cozy!

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

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

More exterior budget means more yard clutter. One day I'll get to have my chickens roam in the pen.

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

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)

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

I was in the same boat and felt trapped by my house. Dawntrail just didn't vibe with me at all and I was struggling to find content to even play. It was painful ripping the bandaid, but it was honestly a relief once the house was gone. I can now come and go as I please and not be beholden to it.

010

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Redid my exterior a while ago and forgot to post it here. Can't wait to put chicken pets in the coop area eventually.

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.

Harandar is absolutely s t u n n i n g. I almost included it but it's only been a few days since full release and didn't want to spoil it too early, so I mostly stuck to Eversong screenshots that are pretty safe. I have some gorgeous shots from there though. My screenshot folder is growing fast.

120

Oh that's a good idea! I'll definitely wait a bit if I do though since I have been playing early and don't want to spoil for anyone later who hasn't had the time to reach it.

020

I think I know which one you mean and I only just got the intro of it, but not started it so far! I was questing with a friend and we were excitedly comparing the dialogue differences between us. (if that's the one, I don't want to type too much for spoiler reasons for people who haven't reached it)

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

Happy launch day! Hope everyone has a fantastic time.

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 love putting secret sitting spots all over my house.

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

Vaard @vaard.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

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

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

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

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.

000

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!

100

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.
