Well, apparently I'm a Witcher. It says Warlock, but look at those classes. I'm primed for mutagen. ಠ_ಠ
An image of a D&D Class Test results, dictating that my classes based on the quiz would rate at 85% for Barbarian, 55% for Bard, 25% for Cleric, 85% for Druid, 65% for Fighter, 50% for Monk, 90% for Paladin, 85% for Ranger, 75% for Rogue, 80% for Sorcerer, 95% for Warlock, and 70% for Wizard. My class, however, depending on how I rated with the above classes, is Warlock with a 95% rating.

I'm thinking this is the final draft of the Signals blog design, along with its wireframe. I'll start on developing it after this and we'll see how it turns out!

New poll because I couldn't understand the results of the last one. So, again:

If I started making websites and posting them here as artwork, would anyone be into seeing that? Is there any interest for website commissions if I did?

A sample forum design based on the Dark Souls series that utilizes dark and grey tones with just a hint of color in the background that displays a muted roaring fire. A sample website design based on Kingdom Heart's design aesthetic done in darker tones with pops of purple accent colors. A sample forum design dubbed The Unseen Workshop done in darker tones with pops of red throughout the design.

Since I just posted about The Haunting of White Creek, here's a little more info:

The Haunting of White Creek is a New Weird Horror connected anthology set in a town in the Sierra Nevada that's besieged by all sorts of strange happenings, threatening to upend the peaceful unincorporated community.
A flashlight lit wooden sign done in green, gold, and white hidden amongst moonlit dark woods that says "Welcome to White Creek, est. 1849." The welcoming text centers around a diamond shaped town crest that bears the visage of a mountain range, a moon high above it, and a creek below running toward it.

Somehow even further screenshots of my apartment!

Final Fantasy ∙ Final Fantasy XIV ∙ Final Fantasy 14 ∙ FFXIV ∙ FF14 ∙ GPosers ∙ Gpose ∙ FFXIV Screenshots
An image taken in Final Fantasy XIV of Elizaveta Belikova's apartment's living room, featuring a far nicer couch than Lizzie has the right to own with an end table beside it, preceded by a bed and another end table with a tomestone charging atop it. Above all of that sits a stained glass wall medallion emblazoned with cherry blossoms and a guitar sitting in the empty space within the design as if enshrined not unlike an altar to music itself. Beside that sits a poster of the aetheric wheel, where below it there is a game table featuring, again, three seats an a Triple Triad board ready to make any boring night less so. Beyond that, there is a book shelf that rises to the ceiling full of books begging to be read by someone -- anyone. Even the owner herself, mayhap. An alternate angle of Elizaveta's kitchen in FFXIV, looking directly at the stove and sink, showing the foodstuffs there for the snacking and the half-prepared dishes yet to be made by the master chef herself. Dirty dishes also lay in the sink, clearly yet to be cleaned because Lizzie is lazier than one can possibly imagine. An alternate angle of Elizaveta's kitchen in FFXIV, looking directly at the bread rack, dish table, and cupboard where Lizzie keeps her cooking utensils, drying dishes, dish towels, spirits, and crates she's yet to open of presumably non-perishables. Of course, off to the side is a barrel, likely full of alcoholic refreshments to slake Lizzie's unquenchable thirst that may well even rival that of a Kholusian Dwarf! An alternate angle of Elizaveta's kitchen in FFXIV, looking directly at the refrigerator, showing that it indeed does exist and sits as a pedestal for the most important thing in the apartment aside from those she loves: wine. There's not much more to say than that... and that you can rest yourself assured that wine is not wont for this world.

As promised, I took screenshots of my newly renovated kitchen and as a bonus my apartment!

Final Fantasy ∙ Final Fantasy XIV ∙ Final Fantasy 14 ∙ FFXIV ∙ FF14 ∙ GPosers ∙ Gpose ∙ FFXIV Screenshots
An image taken in Final Fantasy XIV of Elizaveta Belikova's apartment's bathroom, featuring a mirror and candelabra on a shelf with a sink under them, a towel to the side, the aesthetitician's bell in the foreground, a green rug on the floor, an ornate bath tub with presumably aromatic candles around it, and some piping in the corner with just the faintest trace of a partition on the periphery that can be seen. An image taken in Final Fantasy XIV of Elizaveta Belikova's apartment's bathroom, featuring a makeshift toilet, reading material by aforementioned toilet, a laundry basket in the foreground preceded by a pair of stacked towels on a cabinet and a picture of the Four Lords on the wall behind it all. Again, a partition peeks through at the edge, separating the bathroom from the rest of the apartment. An image taken in Final Fantasy XIV of Elizaveta Belikova's apartment's office, featuring a bookcase with a stack of books in front of it and a ladder in front of the books with a blue flamed lantern atop it. Various papers litter the backmost wall where an armory chest sits in front of them and further stacks of paper sit in front of the armory chest. Two maps, one of Eorzea and Hydaelyn respectively, sit on the wall above a desk and seat, the desk cluttered with writing matter and books as if it has seen copious use. An image taken in Final Fantasy XIV of Elizaveta Belikova's apartment's kitchen, featuring a quartet of heavy pieces of furniture in the background holding necessities including bread, cooking utensils, dishes, and cleaning supplies. One of these pieces of furniture hangs on the wall holding the cooking utensils next to a worn red banner bearing the mark of the Reaper on it -- Elizaveta's main job. In the foreground there is a myriad of facilities including a sink, stove, and refrigerator, all breaking foodstuffs on them and dishes from having recently cooked. Half-railings separate the kitchen space from the rest of the apartment and in front of them sits a bar counter where a tabletop orchestrion sits as well as a paper bag on the opposite end. Meals are situated in front of the orchestrion and paper back on the main dining table and in before those sits three stools to seat a trio of inhabitants. Off to the side, a relatively useless but still useful armoire exists.

Since I'm on a Wake/Control kick right now, I decided to try my hand at a dadaist poem I'm calling The Writer's Dilemma using one that I previously wrote. I came up with this in the process:
A dadaist poem on a dark background with white text that reads: But perfectly ignorant — immune. Loving quietly. Suffocating and revolving. Enduring another is accepting the I. A resolution compelling. And one illogically superior. Each stifling emotion, beauty, and hearts imperfect. That I am mortal. Am I? Disaffected days. Which is icy endlessness still beyond. Convolution I-. Because hate-. God reverent in one barrel, but not rifling in one can. Rendering that pure sway. The hidden special door of who I am behind the idea. Itching all down my surface and invading. I am petty. I am death's own sin but I had not the swill. I am constant without which. Some human... good ignorance.

"It was a town that served a good cup of coffee. A place out of time, surrounded by dense forest instead of the concrete jungle we're all used to. But there was a inky black streak that ran through the soul of White Creek."

An official looking file situated on a wood desk, a light source casting a glow on it from the upper left hand corner. The text on the file, from top to bottom, reads "Federal Bureau of Control; Case Name: White Creek AWE; Agent: Elizabeth Malikova; Date Opened: 2/8/2013; Date Closed:" and on the tab of the folder is a case number scrawled in thick ink that reads "87-4172-8352". At the very top of the folder is the backing of a metal binder clip to bind files to the inside of the folder. Situated in the middle is a government crest for the Federal Bureau of Control, adorned with an inverted and illuminated black pyramid, a castle rampart at the bottom, and an eagle with its wings spread open holding a key in its left claw and a sword in its right. A banner reading "Invenio Investigatio Imperium", translated to "Find Control Research", hangs at the bottom of the crest as the agency's credo. Under the credo reads "United States of America", the country that the agency hails from.

I believe they call it a hierarchy. Also, I hope you don't mind, but I've added some context to your image for folks at home who need a comparison. I feel it's both good as well as accurate:

The Dark sends the stag, when the Green sends the bear...

Fanart to commemorate the new season of Old Gods of Appalachia!
A vector image of a white bear silhouette with a stag overlaid atop it, making up negative space within the bear, all of which is sitting atop a mess of roots/tendrils. The vector is bordered by a thick white diamond-shaped border as three ascending lines of text atop it quote Episode 51 of Old Gods of Appalachia, saying "They will gather in numbers from holler to glen, those who would speak for the beasts and the men. There'll be witches, of course, with axes to grind, seeking the remedy they could never find. Shadows will rise from the depths of the earth, echoes of madness and things never birthed. They will come too, for tis only fair; The Dark sends the stag, when the Green sends the bear..."
