I forgot to do anything for the new years, so let me just pick a couple of my favorite art projects from '25

Let's start with illustration. I didn't get much traditional illustration done, but the one commission piece I did for @groadytoady.bsky.social was definitely enough to represent all of it.

I had no clue about this at the time. I cannot describe how disgusted I would've been if SUGGS had been canonized. Having that in the back of my head during all Goblin RP would've been just, eww.

Especially with my own OC, for whom profit is basically the last item on his list of priorities.
I will offer some context since not a lot of people here know about it:

During DF, there was a questline and some dialogue that basically said that goblins are greedy and obsessed with gold due to a genetic disorder called SUGGS and if they smelled gold they'd go crazy for it.

It's gone now.

Finally maxed out the K'areshi trust rep. Very fitting for my Void boy.

Made this thing pretty quickly to prep for Midnight, when I can bring my Void Ethereal OC around a BIT more for RP, considering the major themes of the expansion.

He's just going to wait till Xal'atath starts her shit and then swoop in to profit from all the Void juice.

God I wish the WoW devs gave Shadow Priests their own spell effects. The glittery levitate and golden shield bubbles when you're otherwise all shadows is just... Ugh.

I think it has to be Foreman Gridcog, just by the amount of attention I've lavished on the guy in comparison to the rest of my goobers.

(Zen'ghul is probably the runner up because of that massive hyper fixation period I had on the guy when I created him)
December 30, 2025 at 7:58 PM
Too many to list but heres a few:

Foreman Gridcog: Early 40s (unsure)

Professor Gentrilicious: Mid 80s (1st & 2nd War veteran)

Zen'ghul, Farraki Elder: 120ish (lifespan extended through magic, aging was not halted)

Ashur'am, Void Ethereal: Became an Ethereal hundreds of thousands of years ago.

My gut reaction was to say that Foreman Gridcog doesn't really care, but... He does react with embarrassment when put into pink getups, like a couple years ago when he helped run a restaurant during "Love is in the air."

He wore it though. Jobs a job.

SOCIETY.

Foreman Gridcog is very unlike a lot of Goblins. He doesn't care about hoarding money, instead investing any surplus coin to improve the equipment for his crews and in general being VERY SERIOUS about his work. The endless chaos of Goblin society is an endless source of stress for Gridcog.

I feel Gridcog would hate my ass. He is very much a workaholic who lives for his job, while I'm an antisocial artist type who DOES do physical labor, but I hate every second of it. We would NOT get along.
If your OC was a real person: Do you think you'd get along with them?

Foreman Gridcog has yellow eyes, though 99% of time they are covered by his goggles. I illustrate him with very small black pupils to enhance his death stares in art, but the in-game version is just fine as well.

What's most important to remember with "What if"s like this is that before power level measurements and statistics, the most powerful thing that beats it all is DRAMA.

What would be the most dramatic outcome of the Alliance trying to take down the Horde here. I think... Thrall would've been killed.
People love doing these "what ifs" on reddit and it's fun food for thought, but post-SotH Vol'jin could probably kill 2 of them before going down. And also, you know, this doesn't happen cause it's a story and stuff happens in a story to keep it going 😌

What other inconsistencies exist between similar items with different costs? (I.e. two things that are similar looks/size/"functionality" but with wildly different costs)

Was just talking with Jay about this one a bit ago...

Small change I did to my Ethereal's new mog. I changed the leg wraps from the purple that matched the clothes, to instead match the head wrappings to make those two pieces match more. Makes it feel more natural.

I figured out the RP reason for my Void Ethereal OC's new gear. After Dimensius got ghostbusted, Ashur'am has been going around Shadowguard manaforges in the Great Dark and using the chaos caused by their God, essentially, being killed to suck up aaaall of the juice. Plus new gear.
December 25, 2025 at 8:20 PM
A comparison between the old (left) and the new (right) outfits for my Void Ethereal OC, Ashur'am.

I'm not sure if I'm going to have the new mog be his constant look or if it's going to be a power up transformation. Gotta feel it out. Midnight will give me a LOT of opportunity to figure that out.

Muppet Christmas Carol: WATCHED

I do kind of love how everyone has to pause the movie at 44 minutes in at the Belle scene, to go to Youtube to watch the "Love is gone" song that is cut from most versions. It's so odd they chose to cut the song when it makes the last song hit so much harder.

Doing the Arator questline and... It's HER.

Sylvanas sickness aside, have I ever said how much I HATE that they stopped giving elves their eye glow. At least Nelves still get to keep their headlights.

I might just make this canon for my OC and steal Ansem's "Seeker of Darkness" title to complete the meme.

Ashur'am is very much a seeker of VOID already so it tracks.
Almost crimbo, so I went and splurged on the Blizzard store. Got the Ascended Regalia pack and tested some of it on my Void Ethereal OC, Ashur'am.

And uhh...

This is a Kingdom Hearts villain if I ever saw one.

Artists! Quote with your most detailed art!

Still love this one. The lineart is OLD, but I finally colored this last year, I think? Might be two years ago by now.

Anyway, sewer level.

I'm actually the most hype for the "Pets" and "Misc Companions" options. The first will let me place my pet in there without them being in the way while I'm in build mode. And with Misc I can add workers to my factory.

Hoping for the ESO style customizable pathing/animation system too eventually.
As a Hunter Main, for almost two decades now. I think the most thing I'm excited for in Player Housing is FINALLY being able to add our Hunter Pets in and hopefully outside of our houses.

Curious about the "characters" option there if that'll be NPCs or our Alts too though!

Some pictures of the Magic Shop, more footage on my Youtube video! For a single room there's much to see, I think!🧙
