Blood Elf Hunter Transmog Complete!

I’ve been working for a while getting all the pieces together that I wanted for Xyliah’s transmog.  Finally, it’s complete! 

Xy models her new outfit!

This Just Happened

Yay Gingersnap and yay me! My cloak is finished. I wish I had turned the camera just a bit before using the upgrade object. I had to empty my bags before I could use it! The Circle will have the achievement in a week or two 🙂

Alt Appreciation – Hunter Week

Many images, long post.  Hunters!

My main, or my main alt? I honestly don’t think I know what a main is anymore. I keep trying to raid on him, and wind up just hating focus more and more. This expansion, talents were made really good and all the other shots feel like I’m hitting things with wiffle balls. I’d love active talents if they weren’t part of my rotation. I have this same complaint about mages, but mages get it to a lesser degree. I can only pray they overhaul the talent system once again, since it seems to be the thing to do every single expansion. Oh, what was I doing? Hunter post, right. This is Jaeyn. He’s kind of my main and not an alt, depending on your definition of main, but he’s here. He’s been part of our stories too, and currently lives in Outland. The spore bat is not an IC pet, but is the one I’m forced to use for everything else. =P

 

Theronil Whitemorn is my second hunter to 90, and my first ever horde character to max level (85 at the time!) I originally made him pre-Cata to experience the low-level horde quests before everything was changed. In game, he’s geared enough to do Vaults, and while I take him once in a while, I’m not urgently gearing him up. In stories, he’s getting ready to fight in Kalimdor while his pregnant wife frets about him in Shattrath. He’s been made the captain of a small group of rangers who will be left to watch the supplies, healers and portals.  Most of the group aren’t really rangers so he has his work cut out for him.

Avanniel Windblade. She’s still level 85, but she has max blacksmithing. She’s appeared in some of our Ashenvale stories. Vaelarian Ashclaw has a crush on her. She spends most of her time on duty at the Spire.

 

Sourabhi was my third character to 70 during BC. (Jaeyn was first!). I had a love of hunters early on. ICly, Soura likes messing with blood elves and stealing from them. Like her dragonhawk?
She has made a few appearances in stories, but has so far only been a very minor character.  She’s level 85 for now.

Beroleth “Bear” Morningdew is level 85 and has bear pets. He’s also been part of the Ashenvale stories. Here, he’s pictured with his oldest bear, Norr.

 

Sunashe is level 80, having been part of a RaF team. He was originally created when I first started playing, and forgotten about shortly after as I was busy leveling Jaeyn. I do like the way he looks, so maybe, someday, he’ll reach max level. He has not been part of RP or had any stories.

Faestirah was my first blood elf hunter. She got to level 28 or so on her own, then had a RaF boost to 80. She’s my only horde character with the olympic tabard. I’m still mad about not getting the pet during that time. I tried!
Again, no stories for this one.

 

Another RaF character, Jamos is level 80. He’s one of my few male draenei. He had a small part of a story, so we know he lives in Shattrath and has a sister named Haani!

Another RaF hunter, Noradra. Level 80 and no stories, but she has a cool white serpent!

RaF… AGAIN! This is Ithorel. He ICly works on a hawkstrider farm and is currently training to go to Kalimdor soon.  When he comes back, he wants to go to Silvermoon.

Molsonetta and her cat, Biere. She’s level 30 and I don’t think I can RP her with a straight face with a name like that.  She’s on a pvp realm and doesn’t have any stories, and probably never will.

Jaen. Jaeyn was originally Jaen. When I transferred from Antonidas to Hyjal, I grabbed my old name. He’s level 24 now.

 

Jaene, the level 15 female dwarf on Icecrown, the home of <WHU>. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to dedicate to her to keep her in the guild. I’m still in the chat channel for <WHU> on that server though.

Weylyn, also my only worgen left. I had a few others but I couldn’t stand the sniffing. I only level him with sound off.  He doesn’t get much play time but he is level 32 now!  I love his braids! He had a “copy” for the Tangle of Brambles storyline, Weylenn, but I just really couldn’t handle the sniffing when trying to level them. Weylenn was race changed, along with his two brothers. They are now Avanniel, Beroleth and Xyliah.

I decided to include a few who are under level 10 because of their roles in the stories. Xyliah is listed here, despite being level 88, because I wanted to list her with her dad. 🙂

Thavron Amberlight, level 1. He makes and sells furniture in Silvermoon. He has three grown children.

Xyliah Amberlight is Thavron’s oldest child. She’s staying in Pandaria with her husband, Berwick. OOCly – She’s level 88, and will probably be next to 90!

Vessen Amberlight (level 5) is Thavron’s middle child and only son. He is currently preparing to go to Kalimdor. He is Rylad’s father, the baby in the mage stories.

Yara Amberlight (level 1) is Thavron’s youngest daughter. It took me forever to find a server where that name was available!

Nessna Amberlight (Lightmist) is Vessen’s wife and Rylad’s mother. She is one of Sanimir’s sisters as well, and also will be going ICly to Kalimdor soon!  IC only, as she’s level 5 in-game.

 

 

Challenge Mode Gold!

We finished our gold challenge modes today.  Our last one (Scarlet Monastery) seemed easy after Stormstout last week!  Thanks to Myrrhlin for asking me to go all those months ago, and to Manstus, Bellatryxx and Modnar for all sticking with it (even if most of us wanted to quit after the second week of working on Stormstout!)

Here’s our victory screenshot with us in our challenge mode gear sets.

Jaeyn’s flower finally worked!

Xyliah Art

I did the sketch and line art for this like eons ago, but I wanted to finish something for February.  So here it is.

I took the sloppy approach because my shoulder is still killing me.

I’d also like to point out that this is the first second time she’s been drawn with her scar.  Anytime I commission art of her, it’s forgotten!

Xyliah – Xyliah’s Diary

Dear Diary,

Four days left.

Sanimir disappeared early yesterday morning.  He left to make a portal for Isandri and didn’t come back.  He and Aeramin usually go to the library together, then it’s hit or miss whether he’s there when I go to find him.  Yesterday he just disappeared before he even went to the library.  Aeramin didn’t seem worried.  He just left for the library as usual.

Of course, it wasn’t until after he left that I thought about asking him why Sanimir hadn’t returned.  So I just fed the cat and headed to the landing.

I went to Grizzly Hills again yesterday.  There is one area there where the bears seem to frequent, near a stream.  There are also some large deer in the area.  I’m certain it’ll be a wonderful hunting area.  Father will appreciate the furs and leather.  I found some useful herbs growing in the area as well.  I picked some and, after returning to Dalaran, I stopped by one of the herbalist’s shops.  She asked if I could get more.

I went back home after that, figuring I had lost Sanimir for the day.  I started thinking of what to write to his mother on the way home.  I was surprised to find he was at home when I got there.  It was early in the afternoon.  He was washing dishes, and he just looked at me when I came in and said that I missed lunch.  Aeramin had been home to cook, and Sanimir was cleaning up.  Aeramin had already left to return to his job in the library.

He didn’t say much.  He did say he was going to the library, in case I wanted to know where he was, after he finished the dishes.  I let him go.  That settled what to write to his mother, or I thought it did.

I got a letter back from her, the same day, telling me that he shouldn’t be studying now.  We should be getting to know each other.

Whatever lady, I had a date to go to.

Berwick actually showed up.  I had started to think he really wasn’t interested, at all.  I thought he was too scared.  Admittedly, I’m a little scared too.  I mean, I’ve never had a lover while being married to someone else.  The funny part is, I’m not even married yet.  It’s just not the way I thought it would be at all.

Berwick and I talked for a while.  I refrained from asking which inn he was staying at and he didn’t ask me to go back to the inn with him, which suits me fine.  I’m not that type of woman, although I would have gone with him if he had asked.  We are planning a camping trip.  I figure no one will ask questions if I camp without my husband.  I can’t even imagine that boy in the jungle.  He was jumpy enough the one night we took a short walk in Eversong, so no one’s going to wonder why I’ve gone without him, and if they do ask, it’ll be pretty easy to explain!

We had the idea of finding someone else to marry him.  I don’t think I know anyone who would do that just so my sister could have surgery to walk again.  Well, besides myself.  And it would have to be someone his parents approved of as well.  I don’t think 4 days is enough time.

Maybe I should just tell them.

OOC – Screenshot

Well, yesterday he wrote about how bored he was…

I don’t know what’s going on here.

I guess looking for a pickpocket for my blood elf rogue is beneficial to the hunter!  And yes, that is a new polearm as well.  🙂

Art – Jaeyn

I may revisit the shading on this one after I get better at shading.  I’m happy with it otherwise.  A screenshot was used for the background.

Jaeyn shoots ogres in Feralas.

Art – Preview

Guess who I’m drawing.  It’s my first time seriously drawing him.  I’m happy with how he looks so far.

It’s about time.
