A portrait of Dreadpaladin

Draw using MS Paint, using 200 x 200 pixel format. It took me approximately 2 hours from sketching a pose to colouring and finalizing the touch up.

Hey, I am no expert in drawing and the anatomy will most probably be out of shape but I don’t think I have drawn too far off from what Dreadpaladin looks like in WoW.

I am currently using http://www.imageshack.us/ to host the pictures and I do not know when the pictures will expire or will eventually become a bad link. *I could be wrong though, I am after all a newbie. O.o”*

Either way, I do hope the pictures stays around for a long time cause I can’t be an arse at the moment to get a website to dedicate my blogging when I can do it for free. Besides, a subscribed website will be a waste if nobody visits it. Heh.














Concept – Sketch.













Applying base colours.













Adding name and tabard details.













Toning the areas.


After some final touch-ups and toning, voila…














Dreadpaladin’s portrait.


I will find some time to do one for Vanguardlock, which is another toon which I play. Hopefully when I get the inspiration and if the mood is set right, I may draw better than the ones posted above. Haha, who knows? =)

Change in name and blogging style

Previously, the website was linked as dreadpaladin.blogspot.com and titled as My Life In WoW As A Paladin. However, seeing how many events on how I have experienced WoW is somewhat irrelevant to the title that I have given as many of the experiences does not exactly revolve around Dreadpaladin and comes from a totally different perspective but is still somewhat relevant to WoW.

I gave some thought to see if it is possible to re-create a blog and link the old blog to the new blog. Much unknown to me, being a newbie to blogging, blogger.com allows a blogger to rename the website of your blog, if it is not taken already. So there was a change in title and website name. Now, I am envisioning that I will be blogging more instead of just limiting the entire blog to only the chronology of Dreadpaladin’s adventures in WoW.

The website now adorns a new name, lifeinwow.blogspot.com and is titled as Living in the World of Warcraft, with a short description as food for thought. Thus, MAY THE BLOGGING BEGIN!

Herbalism… Cool!

A follow up from my previous adventure, which is farming for herbs, I actually did not go to Hinterlands for Sungrass because that area seems not as appealing without much high level herbs like Plaguebloom, Dreamfoil, Golden Sansam, Mountain Silversage or Icecap. Instead of flying to Aerie’s Peak in Hinterlands, I took the flight path to Menethil Harbour in Wetlands.

Here, I waited for a boat which is due for west which is heading to the western lands of Kalimdor and will arrive in Darkshore. Upon arrival, there was a Flight Master nearby and selected my destination to Azshara. In Azshara, according to the Warcraft Lore, was the place where the Highborne dwelled practicing their magical activities and also the area where War of the Ancients and The Sundering of the World took place.

Upon arrival, the whole area has patrolling Mountain Giants and Hippogryphs near the southern area of Azshara, while in the middle area seems to be filled with Naga like creatures, which is the result of a mutation of the once proud Highbornes prior to The Sundering of the World. The Nagas are normally concentrated around areas with ruins. Some of the ruins were deserted and packs of Undeads like Spirits of the Highborne where spotted lingering around the area as if the haunt the area or unwillingness of leaving their once proud home. The northern area of Azshara has several encampments of Satyrs and Furblogs were established.

You may be wondering why Azshara? It is because in this area, it does not only have Sungrass, it also has Dreamfoil, Khadgar’s Whisker, Golden Sansam and Purple Lotus. With my main objective to collect Sungrass, I am also collecting Dreamfoil, which is supposedly said to be growing very well in Azshara. Without much delay, I started riding on my EM and went on collecting herbs and enjoying the sights. I spent approximately 3 hours in total and I have collected a whooping 3 stacks of Dreamfoil, 2 stacks of Sungrass and a couple of stacks of herbs like Golden Sansam, Khadgar’s Whisker and Purple Lotus.

I would say with 3 hours, having such a good amount of herbs isn’t too shabby seeing the fact that 1 stack of Dreamfoil is going at about 18g in the Auction House in my server and would easily fetch approximately 15g, if you need any fast cash. Not only I find enough herbs to make potions for my own usage, I can also start farming enough herbs to sell and earn some side cash. Looks like I would have to visit Azshara more often. :D
