Finished the Eurohawks Requested Emblem

Finished the Eurohawks Requested Emblem

Yeah, I know...I'm posted this a few days after I actually finished it. Life's been pretty busy so it seems like everything I want to get done is going in slow-mo! This emblem is probably one of my favorites so far. Eurohawks is a Danish legion and they suggested something "hawk-like possibly with the Danish flag colors" and this is what I finished up for them.

Please note that this image is for Eurohawk use only!

To everyone waiting on their emblems; I'm so sorry that its taking me a little longer. Like I said before, life is kinda running on slow-mo atm.

Aion play related...Isn't it sad that my husband and I are only lvl 25? Since we only play our "mains" when we can level together its a bit slow going since he works overnights and sleeps most of the day when I'm awake...Our alts (and we both have multiple alts) are about to outlevel our mains! *shrugs* At least we both enjoy gaming. One big happy gaming family!

Well, time to go grill some chicken that I've been marinading over night and make fajitas! Mmm...then I'm back on here to finish up at least 3 emblems!

Emblems Still Free To Use

Emblems Still Free To Use

If you want a custom emblem for your guild made feel free to contact me on the AionSource Forums at my Emblem Request Thread.

Here are some emblems that were just thrown out as ideas for my own guild, SCORN and other brainstorming ideas that ended up changing with time. If you would like to use any of them, let me know and I'll send you a .tga version of them and take them off of the "free to use" list so that they don't get used by any other guild.

Emblems Still Free To Use!

*All emblem colors can be changed to anything you want and you will not have to wait in my request line. If you like the concept but want a few things changed, I can do that as well, but if it will take me a while to edit it will have to go into the line of requests to make it fair to everyone else that I'm doing custom emblems for.*

Asmo Versions	Elyos Versions
Bird With Ribbon	Bird With Ribbon
Feather	Feather
Pegasus	Pegasus
Raven Flying	Raven Flying
Eagle	Eagle
Eye With Wings	Eye With Wings
Anti-Pigeon	Sorry Pigeons...I had to throw this one out there!

If you would like to use any of these emblems, contact me with the desired colors or desired changes and I'll send you the .tga for the image as well as take it off of the free to use list so that no one else can use it. These will go to a first come first serve basis...I'll try to put up new ones as time permits...

Finished the Ruthless Gaming Requested Emblem

Finished the Ruthless Gaming Requested Emblem

Finished another one! Looks like I'm on a roll :D Although this is making slack on my Aion playing. I keep taking a break from painting a mural in my daughters room to do some design work on the computer, and they are much needed breaks! The mural is 4ft by 8ft, so its going to take me a while!

This emblem I had no reference but we did decide we like a "brass knuckle" idea and the Ruthless Gaming contact showed me a cool image of a brass knuckle with blades (much like wolverines) So I flew with the idea and did a gauntlet instead of brass knuckles but the gauntlet alone was just a bit too boring. SOOOO, I added a shield to slash the blades through. I must say I really liked the outcome and Ruthless Gaming did too!

Please note that this image is for Ruthless Gaming use only!

If you want me to make an emblem for you, be sure to check out my free to use emblems in my blog posts here, or request a custom one at AionSource. If you want to make your own, check out my Aion Guild Emblem Tutorial on Squidoo.

Finished the Mongrels Requested Emblem

Finished the Mongrels Requested Emblem

I've gotten a few requests for emblems now...and keep requesting, cause I really enjoy playing around with ideas and creating them. It may however, take time to do since I am doing requests and still want to get my own playtime in...and I work from home by doing article marketing and freelance logo and graphic design. Anything that is paid comes first (sorry can't make clients unhappy!) I do like to take a break for an hour or two a night to do requests like this though.

I finished up the one for Mongrels the other day. It did have a tattoo design reference, but I redid everything in path mapping so that it would have a complete transparent and sharp appearance. I also took some creative license to change things like the wings and a few of the line shapes.

Please note that this image is for Mongrels use only!

If you want a custom emblem for your guild made feel free to leave a comment on here or contact me on the AionSource Forums under the name Ashlique.

Is it bad that I like botters?

Is it bad that I like botters?

Why? Cause I can follow them around half afk and attack their mobs and still get xp! I followed a botter around brusthonin for a good hour today and got my gathering up 25 points (from Rabano) and 4 bars of xp! And all I did was follow him around, do a backstab, watch tv, grab a rabano when he rested...rinse repeat!

I finally decided that I may need to go to bed since its 4am so I reported the botter and am now relaying the "love for botters" to everyone else...

Again, I have something other than a "true" screenshot. There was a post on AionSource about your character picture so I made up a fun collage of my girl.

I think she's super cute...especially her eyes...but maybe thats just me cause I have green eyes and I made her :D

Time for bed, hubby doesn't work tomorrow so we'll have to do some powerleveling to catch up after my week of no playing!

Mom is leaving, which means I can play again!

Mom is leaving, which means I can play again!

My mom is leaving in the morning so I can finally play again! Whats even better...She's taking our two year old for a week! I might actually have some peace and quiet and actually get some stuff done around the house! YAY.

So I jumped on for a sec to get a screenshot of our new cloak, so this will be the "screenshot of the day"

I made an AION t-shirt tonight and got it uploaded to my Aion Store. Keep watch for more gear!

Having Withdraws!!!

Having Withdraws!!!

So, like I said in my last post, my mom is here...now I'm having Aion withdraws and its only been like 2 days! *sighs* me = pathetic

I might try to stay up later tonight and play a little. We'll see.

Otherwise, for something of note thats kinda Aion related...

My Aion Guild Emblem Tutorial is finally indexed in Google! YAY! That means if someone searches for information about making a guild emblem they'll see my tutorial :) And to think I only made this tutorial for the AionSource peeps. Its kinda nice to know I'm helping out lots of people instead.

Zazzle and a Slow Day on Aion

Zazzle and a Slow Day on Aion

So, I found a site called Zazzle. Its kinda like Cafe Press but way easier to use!

Here's what I've done so far...not much but I enjoyed making them:

iVerbs Themed

Aion Online Themed

I'll probably add a bit more tomorrow

I spent most of my day playing around with those stores and only played a little on my bank alt. Sold a few things, grabbed all her Altgard quests, nothing that special.

But I did run into:

My Screenshot of the Day...Again!

Yoghurt caught AFK...Again...

My mom is visiting tomorrow afternoon for about 4 days to help me finish up decorating the house. Gunna do some wall painting, putting up shelves, rearranging furniture, you know...all the fun stuff about living in a new house that has bland cream walls. Since I've always lived in an apartment since being on my house, I want to make this house actually feel like a home. More than likely I wont get to play much while she is here, unless its super late at night. My parents think video games are "of the devil" and don't even know the truth about my husband and I meeting through WoW (now you can blackmail me) :D When I was in highschool I was obsessed with Ultima Online and they blame that game for me not being a cheerleader and super social (but personally, when I tried to be social, I just got myself in trouble) I bet playing UO kept me from doing drugs and getting drunk at an early age...and it allowed me to love computers and get into digital art!

Speaking of art...My daughter made her first masterpieces the other day!

I thought they actually were very appealing and put one as my wallpaper and put one on a shirt at one of those Zazzle stores :D

Ashlique's Personal Zazzle

Okay...going back to bed (had only gotten up to take care of a fussy baby...but remembered I hadn't blogged since late last night)

AFK Men Beware

AFK Men Beware

Slow and steady wins the race...right? Well, my husband and I are trying to level these toons together and not "outlevel" each other. Since he works overnights and sleeps during the day, it doesn't give us much time to play...but when we do, we powerlevel! So, we got 3 levels in a few hours today! :D I'm loving the Killer Guide's Leveling Guides! It lets us make the most of our time playing together.

I also got my aether gathering up over 100...aether farming sucks, I think I've said that multiple times already :D

OH OH OH! Can't forget! I proc'd some lvl 23 tailored shoulders today and got a BLUE out of it...I am SOOOOOO happy :D I wont need an upgrade for a long time now!

Okay Okay, Screenshot of the Day!

Yoghurt is one of our resident AionSource Forum Whores, and I couldn't resist doing this while he was AFK :D

No Aion Today...OMG!

No Aion Today...OMG!

I never even started Aion today...*gasp* I know...crazy huh? I did however work on a bunch of guild emblems. Two were direct requests and the rest are going to be "free for all" emblems that I'm going to be putting into a post on AionSource. I'll make sure to post about it once I get it up and going.

Otherwise, pretty uneventful day and since I never opened Aion...I don't have a screenshot for today :(

So...I'll post up the most awesomest Leveling Guide instead!

Aether Farming SUCKS!

Aether Farming SUCKS!

**Update**

I started an Aether Guide on Squidoo!

All I did today was work up my Aether skill and craft a little...OMG I HATE AETHER FARMING! I died once to a stupid rubberband fall even though I "thought" I coasted out of it but lagged and got my fall damage, TWICE...*sighs* So, I got from 10 - 90 aether gathering today and am at 110 at both cooking and tailoring, and almost broke again :D Damn my crafting obsession!

Anyways, nothing fun on Aion today, all work and no play.

Screenie Shot of the day!

Damn you Vendor!

Damn you Vendor!

*shakes fist*

I hate selling things to vendors...they aren't going to use them! I always try to sell things in a private store for a little over what a vendor would pay for them, and still no one buys it...so I'm forced to sell to a vendor to keep room in my inventory. Did I mention I hate selling things to vendors? I just think its a waste of good equipment that someone...somewhere could possibly use.

*sighs* O'well, I guess I still make a little money out of it at least.

So, this came about because I had a private store open while I was creating a tutorial on how to make guild emblems...needless to say this tutorial took me longer than it really should have, since I was sipping wine, making sure my store didn't go afk, and taking multiple screenshots of my process while I made a "fake" emblem for the tutorial to follow. Here is the Custom Aion Guild Emblem Tutorial.

And now...

SCREENSHOT of the day!

Pluma Drunk'n Flying This Time

Pluma Drunk'n Flying This Time

I love to drink and play if you haven't figured this out yet. This time I had those little pluma candies :D I got to be a drunken flying pluma! All the while talking about playing one handed in the Triniel IRC (join us if you want!)

irc.gamesurge.net

#Triniel

flawless is apparently banned from this one, so the alternate is:

irc.gamesurge.net
#Aion-Triniel

I'm usually in both at the same time...

Name: Ashlique

(or Ash|something, eg. Ash|Drinking, Ash|Zzz, Ash|Eating)

And of course...

Screenshot of the day!

Me as a Pluma :D

Finally!

Finally!

I finally have a lvl 10 alt! Yay for extra warehouse space! I've played every class (warrior, priest, mage, scout) to lvl 10+ now and must say I have yet to find a class I don't enjoy. This has got to be the most fun I've had on any MMO. (maybe not as much as the naked drunken rfc runs while in vent on my alliance server) :D But I'm still getting to know the guildies and everyone on this server, so I'm sure those hella fun drunken hoohaas will happen eventually :D

My 'Sin is lvl 19 and I've been slacking on her again since I ran out of money (I really shouldn't be trying to lvl up 2 craftings yet) *shrugs* I actually made 50k on my alt sorc before she even hit lvl 10! So needless to say she is allowing my 'Sin to buy her lvl 19 skills :D

Alrighty, time to get to 20!

Screenshot of the Day!
