During packing in preparation for the move, I had a chance to look over some of my old paintings and sketchbooks. In part this was down to nostalgia but mostly it was down to a problem I have that I have been trying to overcome.
This problem is a big case of being burned out.

The Hallows End festival was in full swing, people were running around trick or treating, cramming candy until they were sick, when the arrival of the Argent Dawn echoed the coming doom (which I guess is why the patch was called Echoes of Doom, whodathunkit) that was lurking.
Across Azeroth a plague spread, those who succumbed and fell to it found themselves risen up again and starting to hunger for human flesh.

A few months back I was chatting with some fellow friends and the conversation turned from Myst to the book 1984, and I was inspired to do some Big Brother inspired Guild of Maintainer posters.

Blizzard announced that the next World of Warcraft expansion pack, Wrath of the Lich King, will be out on the 13th of November. Just a few days before a certain lady’s birthday, wonder what she’ll be getting as a present.
We’ve both decided we wanted to get the Collectors Edition this expansion pack, Jen wanted the little frost dragon pet it gives and I was interested in the soundtrack and book of WoW artwork.

As my significant other has mentioned, the petition for the Visa has gone through. We now get to kick things up a notch, which includes planning the actual wedding. Jen ordered the rings just before I left her last, unfortunately they didn’t show up until after I had returned to England. Today her wedding dress arrived which she seems to really like which is nice, looking forward to seeing her in it.

I’ve been wanting to do a piece on Veovis for a while now, I finally got around to it recently. Veovis is one of those characters of the Myst universe that I like a great deal, not because he ended up killing most of his race, but because of the mechanism that lead to the act. Not to mention that after he had lead to millions dying, he refused to step over that final line and break one of the greatest D’ni laws.

Headed up to Birmingham with my mother to see Santana play. I don’t consider myself a fan but I do enjoy his music, he is a fantastic guitar player. My mother on the other hand is a fan and has been wanting to go and see him for a while, but she needs someone to go with her so I offered.

We’ve been wanting to get some family photos done for a while now. Finally got around to getting some done the last time I was over with Jen and the kids.
After being persuaded by Jen to post them here they are:

When it comes to how the Nexus is set out there is not much I don’t like about it, for the most part it is pretty easy to navigate around in. However there is room for improvements in regards to navigation, not only that but hood management and some “issues” that bug many people.
