I just... I can't even fathom being able to write something like that without a shred of shame. Not even a moments hesitation before hitting SEND of "Hmm. Maybe I shouldn't post this. I might come off as a massive piece of SHIT." not even an inkling.

So I finished a commissioned art piece for @groadytoady.bsky.social the other day of his Goblin OC Nozzly. I wanted to make a little timelapse of the stages the piece went through. I unfortunately didn't save my early sketch stage, which is a shame.

Adding this to the pile

While I was doing Mechagon grinding, I again started just... Looking around. These are some FINE PIPES that could also be added to player housing in #worldofwarcraft
I love how a lot of them let out little puffs of steam as well. It just adds so much to the techy feel.

And you know, there's all these ruined or unfinished or scrapped metal hulls around Mechagon. Many of these pieces would be great outdoor decorations in housing. I could definitely see myself using pieces like these to turn a Orc hut into a metallic Goblin house.

These bolts as well. I need to have metal clutter.

I also hope they add elements like these metal walkways, especially one like the last picture here. I really love the idea of making an elevated walkway of metal gratings like that in my factory compound. Maximum engineering energy

Just did a bit more Mechagon grinding in preparation for Housing in #worldofwarcraft and I got thinking.

I hope we can at some point add custom NPCs into our housing and designate them paths and animations. I'd love to add robots and workers into the factory I'm going to make for my Goblin.

It feels so good to see Troll kids aside from the Zandalari. These little guys are so CUTE. Their very existence might make MY LIFE a lot easier if I ever do a Narcissus edit that needs a Troll child again, like these two pieces.

Thank you for your continued cataloguing of housing changes! Seeing the devs adding more and more decorations just hypes me up. I hope they throw a bunch of Undermine decorations in there.

Zol'khan / Foreman Gridcog (Commissions OPEN) @hjalmarrambles.bsky.social · 1d

It's so sassy!
This would be perfect for Gridcog, because even though the new /lean animation is great, it's a little too relaxed for my grumpypants workaholic. The crossed arms, both feet planted firmly on the ground is just PERFECT. I needs it.

Holy SHIT. I cannot count the times Foreman Gridcog has taken THIS EXACT POSE in roleplay. This, this is HIM. God I hope we get some way to take this pose. It's just perfect.

I was just doing some Mechagon dailies to prepare for housing, since a couple mechanical decor pieces are rewarded from those and... Guys.

They HAVE TO add conveyor belts into the decor selection. It's just such a good techy factory look. I gotta have these. 🙏

It was an honor to work on this commission. I am very proud of the end result, even if the bicorn hat and the sword drove me to the edge of madness in the sketching stage.

It's on SIGHT with them and for a good reason.

I'm partial to the hostile tribes. Farraki (Sandfury) and Frostmane specifically. Both live in extreme climates and something about that survival at any cost theme just works for me.

The Troll rabbit hole goes DEEEEEP. Darkspear are probably a good jumping on point, especially with the heritage armor questline that added a lot of lore to them very recently.

That definitely Taz'es my Dingo. 🔥👌

Hey kids, time for another round of "Foreman Gridcog drools over MACHINES" in hope that #worldofwarcraft Player Housing devs might see this and add the models to the selection.

First, we got this tank and generator at the Bilgewater HQ. The tank is very nice, but that GENERATOR is where it's at.⚡⚡⚡

While purely Orcish in most parts, I am happy that there's at least one door and window that can at least pass as Goblin style in the Horde houses. It's gonna be a challenge to make the Orc huts feel Gobliny, but I will try my darnest to make it so.
