On the one paw, noone will ever take any of my RP seriously again...

On the other, those are some sweet, sexy pictures. 'Tis a good tradeoff.

OMG they are amazing work DH All of them fantastic!!

Thank you very much DH!!

AWSOME WORK DH!!! 

Mindsweeps is awesome XD

Thanks all!  I've got some more coming,RedLeopard, and some new ones down the line.  I am in the process of moving so - bear with me a little - but I'll be sure to get them.

Here's something to keep it over in the meantime:

This is a snippet from a day of BloodlustV's story-event line he has running. This day PixleKitty got to bait BloodlustV's targeted person by er ... a little flirtatious persuasion, some beers and slipping him a special EJP preventing poison-code "Mickey" when he wasn't looking.

So far this event line has been running extremely well!  It's small, but fun, BloodlustV and his fellow actors keep it very interactive, and it keeps us entertained.  Blood and his fellow ex-liaison, and other fellow actors and  other player RPers are some of the best ingame actors I have ever seen.  At the end of a meeting/event (how the story is carried) it seems like everyone is mostly pleased.  We seemed to walk away feeling like we accomplished something at the end of the meeting/event.  There wasn't a whole bunch of snarling at each other too much, getting frustrated with impossible lvls to beat or exclusion, or loudly grumbling - OMG This Sux!! And everyone seems to be on a relatively level playing field.  It's the way Events should be - should have been.  Course, I'm really partial to BloodlustV - but heh ... that's just me <3 <3

Here's some pix:


BloodlustV in his Combat outfit. He doesn't have the green hair anymore ... something my character Darkhawk actually helped him with (thru RP of course). Guess I have to change that drawing?  That's my toon PixleKitty - she's dressed up to play the "bait" to get Bloodlust's Targeted guy to drink the pill.  Seducing him into taking it with a little flirting at a bar, and over some beers was the plan - worked like a charm!  We are Merovingian after all.

Can you spot the ever mysterious floating beer bottles that reside in Club Janus?  I dunno if it's just my video card - or what ... but those beers just float in mid-air all the time.  Fizzy Lifting Drinks!!

Found Him!  After we raided the bar - he ran to the Mech archivist to pull a disappearing act to a construct for a grand finally battle for his life in 01.  Crazy guy ... awh ... no kiss before you go huh?  Figures.

In the end we got the dude - and everyone was actually fairly pleased.  There are 2 more targets still ... so who knows what facing them will bring.  Only next week will tell.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

uuuhhh ... how did THOSE get on there?!  I dunno ... *looks innocent*

Ookami, eh? I see what you did there.

'Japanese Wolf' - "Okami/Ookami" usually describes is the Honshu Wolf (Canis lupus hodophilax; Japanese: Nihon okami), The other endemic wolf of Japan was the Ezo Wolf (Canis lupus hattai; Japanese: Ezo-okami), also known as the Hokkaido Wolf, which occupied the island of Hokkaido in Japan. The Japanese Wolf was afforded a benign rather than malignant place in Japanese mythology and religion.  Unfortunatly all Japanese wolves are known to be extinct.

Okami the game - capcom

Animal - Wolf, Wiki

But I am deffinatly sure that's where the Monolith guys got the idea for our favorite Adolpha wolf girl.
And yeh ... heh, I deffinatly couldn't resist having her as my pet!

Basicly in Japanese - Ookami means: Wolf.  So - Ookami's name simply is ... Wolf. Hia Wolf!!

I found it odd when I looked thru the game files and found Ookami's texture paks n' stuff labled as: Ookama ... not Ookami ... strange.

She is probly my favorite character i'd have to say.  I like her ruthless agressiveness and claws and all that.  She's probly the most unique - like the lupines, also has that Feral Mood I always wanted.  Feral mood ftw!! Axe that ridiculous Umbrella mood and replace it with Feral - that always should have been done.  I hope a new designer gets around to giving us Feral Mood someday.  Anyway - Ookami was always my Favorite.

Working on a new costume for Fan Faire 09 - yes there will STILL be a Fan Faire 09' and I STILL plan on going.  This is going to be my premiere costume.  I'm going as Ookami!  Slight mods ... it's black, not brown.  Gloves with nails (more for convienience (glue on nails absolutely suck and are a pain in the azz!)  Hope to see/meet new faces at Fan Faire - probly will be a smaller bunch ... but maybe that's a good thing *shrugs*.  Anyway - Here's my idea for my dynamic costume!

I have it now because I was struck with this idea all of a sudden and just had to put it together.  Sometimes I'm like that, just get a wild idea and have to go do it - right then and there.

Yes that is my car, and yes the tattoos are real.  The fangs are not however.

Yey Ookami - Wolf!

Cool hehe  No fangs though?

O.O

Oh, it's on now.  That's an awsome costume DH!  Geez, with you and Mantra's Assassin one I'm going to have to start planning now...

  Archie , I haven't even started on the Assassin's Coat yet. hmmmm... maybe I should.. =P

Nice One DarkHawk.

I'm in the middle of moving so I haven't had any time to draw pics or anything. Soon as I get settled I'll get those up ASAP. It's been quite a hard time - especially with the looming threat of Boeing cutting 10,000 heads out of their workforce. I am afraid everyday, some of you kids just don't undestand what it's like to have a massive lay-off threat to your livelyhood like that looming over your head all the time.  You pretty much loose everything - your health benefits, your pension, your Union rights, everything, and you have to figure out a way to keep paying all your bills.  That's way stressfull everyday.

Sorry about some of the upsetedness, uh ... negativeness I guess.  It's just 5 years of pent up animosity I suppose - you can only put up with so much sometimes.  Everyone says "Just ignore it" yeh ... it still adds up.  What counts I guess is I still play MxO and do support it - and the community, those that have genuine heart and aren't meanies and play for the fun of it.  I really want to see MxO continue - hopefully get a new design/Dev (eventually), which that is completely in SOE management and Walrus's hands - not ours. And Walrus has never said he isn't going to NOT replace the designer seat - he only alluded to it may be a little while.  BUT I believe he probly will, I don't see how you can't, either thru a transfer from another SOE title (most likely will be the case) or whatever.  It takes time to find a person, train them on the tools, and see if they do good - be patient.  And they might be going thru a restructure in how they are managing anyway.

I for one would love to see what my fellow players are going to with the story till then.  If I have time and the opportunities, maybe even partake in some of what ppl are doing.  Only 1 point I do agree with on the other side - is that too many ppl want to do their own version of things. So we have too much and too many different directions, and then another problem of butting heads, (God-modding?).  BUT - Rarebit never said we HAD to follow what he wrote to a tooth.  He just gave it all out there for someone to either pick up and continue, or modify from where it stands or even just completely ignore it and do what they want.  He never said - YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT I DID!  In fact, he WANTED ppl to either add on or carry on, or do what they wanted with The Matrix story.  And I suppose I'll have to give him some goodies for that. 

Some ppl don't want to do anything if Rarebit didn't do it, and that's completely up to them and if that's what they want to do, then go ahead.  I'm betting that would be the same case even if a new design/Dev came into the picture and started trying to do his/her work ... and ppl stick their nose up at his/her work simply because it's not Rarebit ... which would be very sad.  And actually this is an attitude I have already run into :/ - ppl have passed judgment without even having a new designer yet.  I can only imagine how frustrating Walrus finds that - when he and his managers start trying to find a replacement to simply get the job done and fill the empty seat.  Rarebit is gone and he's not coming back. He's moved on, he probly got a great new job somewhere and is doing awesome for himself.  So - we need to learn to be accepting, or let this game fizzle and die.  That is our choice.

I'm going to keep supporting the game - still planning on going to Fan Faire 09.  Not nobody is going to try and bully me out of that.  We'll see what happens in the future.  I still love MxO - still a dedicated player, despite all the poopieness I've endured over the years.  I like Matrix because I like the mythos, the Movies, what the original movie started.  Not because of game devs or whatever - I am here because I like The Matrix - what the Wachoski's laid out.

So ... there.  Not trying to be a negative nancy, and it wasn't negative at all really.  Just saying a few things. 
Now back to moving.

DH I can't imagine what it must be like dealing with the stress you've got. All I can say is, you got friends here in MxO, even if some of the folks here aren't in the best of spirits .. even if the game's future is uncertain. You got friends hon.

Hang in there. Anytime you need to relax and take off some of the burden of the real world's pressures for a while, you know where to find us. <3

Three things...

1. The Ookami costume looks awesome. I don't even like that character, and I think it looks pretty cool.

2. I have been thinking of asking you to do another commission. Should I just PM you, or wait a while? I have no idea how long your list is, or how busy you are, but I am willing to wait a while either way. I just have a character I would very much like to see you draw before I unsub. I am paid up for six more months, but only time will tell if I will be able to justify it again come August.

And 3...

Heh, right now I'm on: Ghostlands
