New Banner, New Article

Given recent events, I didn’t really like having so many references to The Secret World in my blog’s banner. Too many unhappy memories. Plus I’m probably way overdue for a new banner anyway.

So, yeah, new banner. Whatcha think? It’s a lot simpler than the last one, partly out of a desire to do something different and partly due to my lackluster photo manipulation skills.

Try not to read anything into the fact this is the first time in my blog’s history the banner hasn’t referenced an MMO in some way.

Feedback welcomed. I’m not married to it and could always come up with something else if people don’t like it.

In other news, I’ve had another new article published at MMO Bro. This one deals with character stats and whether they’re actually serving any purpose. It’s a long-standing pet peeve of mine.

I Guess It’s not Fan Art if I Paid for It?

Still cool, though.

Recently I commissioned the very talented Mel Addams, whom I met on The Secret World’s official forums, to do a sketch of the heroine from my World Spectrum novels, Leha, the Hero of Heart.

I gotta say, it turned out pretty well (click for full size):

Leha, the Hero of Heart, star of my World Spectrum novelsI really like the claws.

This is actually the second sketch Mel has done for me; some years ago, they also did a sketch of some characters from one of my unpublished works, and it also turned out brilliantly.

I would definitely encourage everyone to check out Mel’s Tumblr to see more of their work (mostly TSW fan art), and if you have anything you’d like to see drawn, get in touch with them. They’re quite good, their prices are reasonable, and they’re a pretty friendly and pleasant person in general.
