My first WoW Comic!!!

Okay....for quite a few years I've been using a program called Poser to create 3D "renders" (a fancy word for computer generated pictures).

I was thinking the other day that I should try making a wow comic. Here it is (I haven't "assembled it" into a comic frame yet...you're getting it raw.

I'd really like to know what you think (use comments, or talk to me in game!)!

If you're not a WoW player here are things you need to know:

1) Blizzard makes female armour ridiculously skimpy
2) When you're flying around you often find nodes of ore that you can mine (in this case Saronite)
3) There are 2 faction in WoW. The Alliance and the Horde (humans are part of the alliance)
4) "Polymorph" is a mage spell allowing you to turn another player or monster into a sheep (or other cute creature). You do this so that you can deal with any of the enemy's friends (or run away)
5) Some players have a skill "Tailoring" allowing them to make items of clothing. It's obvious Ariana has been neglecting this particular profession
6) An "HK" is an "Honorable Kill". Its something you get if you kill a player of the opposing faction (on a PvP server)

For you nitty-picky types:

I KNOW the armour is not from WoW (I got it from DAZ3D.com If you like this and want more...buy me a gift certificate! J/K...oh wait...no I'm not!)

I KNOW that there are quite a few ways to get out of this predicament without the intervention of a GM...I dunno...maybe they're newbs.

...and I KNOW my toons here look much more realistic than you find in WoW.

Down the Rabbit Hole

Dear Moo;

I've a wee bit of an issue here.

I just got my 15th toon to 85 (a Worgen Pally...I already got my goblin from 1-85). I've got 6 toons with an iLvl of 350, and is 525 in everything (even archeology). I would've got my toons to 85 faster but I raid 7 nights a week and try to get into Tol Barad as often as I can.

So anyway, I'm doing a quick BH on my Troll DK when I hear someone say, "Duuude, you need to stop...maybe sleep or something!"

I look around and see no one when it says again, "Hey, dipwad, down here!"

I look down and see my cat, Muffin, standing amongst the scattered red bull cans and empty Tim Horton's coffee cups staring up at me. She's obviously annoyed.

What the hell? I asked her why she's so bitchy. She points out I forgot to feed her and haven't changed her litter in a week. Wow...a week? Really?

I'm a bit baffled. I'm pretty sure cats can't talk. Muffins has always been special though.

So here's the thing. I'm kinda busy with WoW, do you know someone who could get her hooked up on the talk show circuit? I'd like to make some money off this

Dear Not Now;

A talking cat huh, that's pretty amazing! I wish my cat Gus could talk, so he could tell me why he wanders around the house at 3am meowing his fool head off.

The problem with getting Muffin on the talk show circuit is primarily transportation. Many airlines don't let pets into the cabin and she must be shipped. Many kennels can arrange this for you, so I would suggest finding a good one in your area. You might want to warn them that Muffin talks, because you know...if she's bitchy it might cause problems.

As for the talk show hook up. I don't know anyone...apparently I'm just not famous enough to get on Carson....he's still alive, right?

Gratz on your wow accomplishments! I'm proud of you! It takes hard work, dedication to complete avoidance of any sort of social life to accomplish what you have!

I also want to thank you for taking yourself out of the dating pool and opening up the odds of me finding a girlfriend...presuming you're a guy (a straight one)...or a lesbian.

Now go feed the cat, change the litter, and take a shower!

Love,
Moo
