Recently I have been combing the internet in search of artists. I knew that somewhere out there there must be a place where I can go and browse the works of different artists and then select one who I liked. It was also a requirement that whoever I selected would enjoy pimping themselves out for cash, as it doesn't do me any good if I like the artist, but the artist doesn't like my money. (Unless the artist just loves to work for free, but in some cases I actually prefer to pay them, i's a lot easier to impose deadlines when there is a paycheque hanging in the balance!)
In my search I found a site with all that and more. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the best site on the internet: www.DeviantArt.com. Okay, so maybe it isn't the best site on the internet, but it is pretty damned cool. Tons of artwork, a real sense of community, plus easy access to see who is available for commissioned art and who isn't? Oh! And add to that a female artist who has bondage pics of the superhero who I identify with most? Come on, the site has got to be good! After just a few short minutes on my lunch break I found this site: www.mhoefener.tk. Michelle is a very gifted artist who has terrific rates for portraits and custom art. I guess I actually shouldn't be doing advertising for her, now that I think about it, because if I decide to have her do any work for me I'll want her schedule to be clear. Okay, forget what I said, she's terrible, she sucks, don't click on the links above they will burn out your eyes.
Now, on to gaming news. I would like to start out by sending a quick message to Sony. The message is this: "Fuck you, Everquest, I have managed thus far to elude your evil clutches and you aren't going to lure me in with beautiful graphics and voice overs. End of story, now get away from me you whore."
Hmmmm, nope. Didn't work, I still want it. That's what I hate about games like Everquest 2, they are like Compulsion Seeking Missiles (CSM's). They know that I want to obsess over something, and they provide a perfect environment in which to do so. With Half Life 2 hitting the shelves here in Canada today I should be able to resist the lure of EQ2, but the truth is that something inside me seems to need that online fix, and it is that need that the CSM's lock onto. It all basically boils down to this, I hate the levelling up process, but I love fighting monsters. In fact, now that I think about it, it almost seems like all the things I hate about MMORPG's are the exact same things I crave. Does that make me a lunatic? Yeah, I think so.
