It's been like. A long time. I've been posting mainly on tumblr and more recently, instagram and twitter, but tumblr isn't great for exposure and the latter two aren't even much good for art in general, so I'm back :3


Sorry for the upload spam! I wanted to get some of my favourite pieces up on the gallery before I start posting up to date ones. For now, I've only posted the more polished pieces, but I will start posting more sketches and scraps here too as time goes on. If you want to see old sketches, there are some on my tumblr.


I'm playing FFXIV now, if that isn't obvious xD Hope you enjoy, and thanks for reading!

MOAR TESTING.

This one actually works pretty well and looks cool. Neato.
I just need to update my fucking buttons. Dat shit looks terrible.

ANYWAY. I wanted to explain a little bit about the art that's been going into my gallery recently.
It's pretty messy, and honestly not up to my own personal standards of art. I'm still getting over my carpal tunnel, and while drawinf for longer is getting easier and easier, I still feel like I'm really out of practice. There was a 3 month stint where I didn't draw fucking -anything.- It was bad. I know it sounds stupid but after that long I kind of forgot how to draw. Nothing looked good enough anymore. So while I'm slowly able to draw more, nothing looks good still.
My lines are crap, my colouring is lazy and everything is just really messy and I'm sorry. I'm trying.

Please be patient with me while I get back into the swing of things. I will try to put up more polished pictures than I have been that are more in line with my own personal standards.

To everyone who's been really supportive and pretty much ALWAYS comments positively on stuff? Thank you. Thank you so much. You guys have been amazing and patient and you are saints.

I need to get a new 'featured' picture.
Undead neckboob is not a very good indication of my current skill level.

ALSO
TUMBLR
jen-baen.tumblr.com
I started one in 2008 but it's honestly become the place where I spend the majority of my browsing time. My blog is mostly retarded/funny crap with some neat reblogged artwork as well as artwork of my own. I post a lot of little doodley things that I normally would never post here.

ALSO ALSO
I quit WoW. You will likely not see many more tauren from me, if you see any at all. Thank you to everyone who followed me and enjoyed my WoW artwork! You guys mean a lot to me and always will. The amount of support I got was so amazing.
I enjoyed WoW quite a bit, and I think the majority of the game itself is still enjoyable. There's nothing inherently wrong with it. But when you do something every day for seven years, there's a point where it begins to lose it's lustre. WoW isn't fun for me anymore and I'm tired of the setting.
I will miss Baenhoof. We had a lot of fun together.

I'm playing TOR now, so likely a lot of my personal artwork will be Star Wars related. For all the hate it gets, I like it and I have fun in it. :3

I am still open for commissions, though they may take slightly longer to complete as I am still struggling with carpal tunnel. It's getting easier to draw for more than 20 minutes.

Cleaning House

It's high time I cleaned out my gallery.
Save anything you -really- like because there's a decent chance it'll be moved into storage over the next week.

I mean, it's cool and all to see growth as an artist but some of the shit in my gallery is so old it is embarrassing. And I mean like, mortifyingly embarrassing.

SOYEAH.
Couple pieces in the works.
I'm doing a lot of work for this indie game studio I'm working at and stuff recently, hence the lack of new artwork. Hopefully I will have 2 new ones up in the coming weeks. I've been learning a lot about the technical side of digital painting so I'm hoping they'll be a step above what I normally do. Can only get better, right? xD

Kicked my artblock.
You can expect another pic by monday night at the earliest. Nimzach's is still being worked on as well.
Also, its 8:30am and I haven't slept yet. I woke up at nooooon. WHAT AM I DOOOOOIIIIIING.
I'm stupid.

How did I kick it? I beat my head against it with the resolve that ONE OF US WOULD BREAK, AND BY THUNDER IT WASN'T GOING TO BE ME.
So I brute forced it. It sucked and I hated it and it was painful but its done so meh.
*kermitflail*

Raiding has pretty much died in my raiding guild. We cant hold down the raid group all at the same time. Its poor timing and a lack of will to play. We all want our Frostbroods but we don't actually want to go in and get them.
I think if I didn't have a fuckton of RP to handle I wouldn't still have an active account- I'd be taking a break for Cata.
Also, I am upset because I have 2 weeks to come up with $50 to pay for Blizzcon stream 'tickets' for Dixon and I. Its not gonna happen, and I won't get a Deathy. Sadfaise. I really wanted one of those. Cutest murloc so far.

My RP guild's GL just left to take a WoW break, too. She retired her shaman so she passed over the Chieftain position to our head Farseer/her mate. Which means Baenhoof is pulling double duty as Enforcer and Warlord. Yee. Fun to RP. Stressful, though. We're putting in a lot of changes and people are getting restless and causing problems. My job to shut that shit down before it becomes a problem. Argh. Like herding cats.

One of these days, I will get back into writing for Tankatronic. I don't want to see the blog die. I liked it. But...urgh. Nothing to write about. I'll have loads once 4.0 hits, I'll get to play with the new system. I'm excited.

I need to transfer my huntard back to Horde. The nelf is just not making a happy for me.
I have a neato idea for a character concept, though. They'll be a tauren- male or female I haven't decided yet. Female is probable.

As a sidenote I'm now on Warcraftsues, too. If you enjoy bashing terrible characters/fanfiction/wikia entries and know what an RSP is, go take a look.

I think I'm gonna go fall unconcious and vividly hallucinate for a few hours.
