Fantasy Earth Zero Scout

So there's this contest going on at deviantART, to design a character based on the MMO "Fantasy Earth Zero." The game has three classes: Fighter, Mage, and Scout, and each class can be diversified to suit the player's fighting style. I went with a Scout for the contest:

Obviously, I used some Native American cultural references as inspiration. I like the way its turning out thus far... He'll have some cool armor peaking out of his clothing, and I have a nice beauty shot in the works to really show him off with his gorgeous black hair all swishing in the wind and whatnot. He uses a compound bow, because they're badass. I'll post some more progress shots as the image develops... The due date is June 18'th, so here's hoping I won't wuss out on this like I normally do for contests.

Image and design concept belongs to me, copyright 2010. Fantasy Earth Zero and the Scout class are copyrighted to Square Enix, 2010.

Random Ramblings are Random

So lately, my mother has decided to be adorable and take up gaming. She even has a little netbook now, and plays bejeweled and other various online puzzle games.

On my way out the door today, she asked me, "Hey Jen, out of 670 games of ____ [can't remember name], how many do you think I've won?"

I thought about it for a moment, and knowing her current record with most games isn't that great, I was a jerk and replied "Ten?"

"No, you jerk. I'm not quite that bad... 41. But I don't know why my percentage is so low. I don't lose that much."

"Are you quitting before finishing? Because that counts as a loss."

"But if I'm losing, what else can I do besides quit?"

I paused again, and showing complete tact and self restraint, I replied, "....... Win?"

I was promptly chased from the house. The End~

PS: I now have a LiveJournal: http://www.jiok.livejournal.com. I mostly just post duplicates of whatever i'm posting here and vice-versa, so its sort of pointless to let you know about the LJ, but I'm telling you anyway and you can't stop me. ::Jerk::
