Overwatch: Sombra and Snowball

Blizzard's store leaked a pic of Sombra today, confirming her look based off of another slip up a few months back.  The image and pose makes it appear as if she can control omnics and other robots.

¿QuiĆ©n es Snowball?

Inktober #7-9: Lost, Rock, and Broken

A buffet of quick Inktober 2016 sketches.  The first is "Lost", which of course meant the statue from Lost...



Followed by "Rock".  Gorignak, from Galaxy Quest!



Finally, for "Broken" I sadly did a quick and simple sketch of a tome; in this case representing the Guild Wars 2 Manifesto, and all of ANet's broken promises.  They took an innovative and balanced game and turned it into a generic MMO, complete with Best in Slot gear grinds, forced content to have access to best in slot gear (high level fractals, raids, collection quests that take the fun out of playing, and so on), and alternatives which were a soul sapping, over-grind for gold.  It was a cowardly lack of faith in the replay-ability of their created content for enjoyment purposes.  After the last Wintersday Festival, which introduced over-grinding to fun and optional PvE, I quit.  They brought me back with a blast from the past: a new Living Story and new and accessible PvE content.  Soon though, they will shift back to raids and exclusivity...and I'll be looking for yet another new game to play....

Inktober #4: Bastion and Ganymede

An Overwatch sketch of Bastion and Ganymede!  If you haven't seen the Bastion short by Blizzard, check it out here: "The Last Bastion".

The prompt for Inktober #4 was "Hungry".

Replicant 76

Overwatch's Soldier 76 exposed!?  I think someone better call Deckard...

I think this is only the second time I have posted something that is not an original sketch or illustration, but I saw this picture of Roy Batty again today and I couldn't un-see the similarities.  One original meme every few years is acceptable, right?

On a related note, Overwatch is GREAT.  The look, game play, characters, outside story content support, and in-and-out-of-game clues and mysteries combine to make this the best game in years.

Mr. Sparkles - Guild Wars 2

Another Guild Wars 2 themed image.  Pre-purchase weekend cannot come soon enough!

This time, instead of making up something on the fly, I went with a soon-to-be iconic Mr. Sparkles and his famous in-game catch phase:

The Summoning - Guild Wars 2

I finished up a few tweaks to the previous Facebook cover photo and turned it into a Guild Wars 2 themed image - when the Al.chemy pieces started to come together yesterday, this is the result that formed in my mind.

In the game's mythology, the "Deep Sea Dragon" is a bit of a mystery, as it is the only Elder Dragon to not be named thus far.  Each dragon has a champion, and since increased activity of the enemy NPC race known as the Krait seems to be linked to this Dragon's activity, I thought this champion should certainly bear a similar appearance.

Guild Wars 2 comes out on the 28th of August, and it is going to be a long wait.  After playing in all three beta weekends and the two stress tests, I am already in love with the game.
