Dreams of the Quill

Well, I managed to dispel most of my loneliness by drowning myself in Warcraft III for three days, pausing only to participate in a Magic draft. Oh, and I worked a bit on HC Chapter 25—it’s coming eventually. Probably this Sunday. But then, on Monday, I did some drawing for the first time in what felt like forever (maybe because I hadn’t put any art on this site in… well, forever) and made the first Monday art update in months.

In that update, Mana became older.

And now, he’s colored: Mana II - Slightly Older [Color]

But that aside, I’ve been working a lot in the Warcraft III World Editor—I think I logged nine hours yesterday. These were split between two projects. The first is Verga Dissonance, with which I have resumed making progress. The second is Tide Fighters, a new tiny one-player map that’s meant to be mindless fun. I hope to get a “release” of one or the other out before my internship starts next Wednesday. That means either VD v0.1.8 or TF 1.0. Meanwhile, TF betas are being spammed to http://flak.dotq.org/t_war3/tide_fighters.php.

In other news, thanks to Alar’s forceful persuasion (whee redundancy!!) I have finalized the DotQ t-shirt. That is, I’ve put out a “public product” that can be bought from zazzle. When buying, I believe you have the ability to change it however you like—size, colors, the text on the back, whatever. Anyway, price ranges between 20-30 bucks depending on what modifications you make (and I don’t know how shipping factors in) so it’s pretty expensive for “just a shirt”—but it’s not “just a shirt,” it’s a DotQ shirt! So uh yeah, buy one today.
