Hello all! This is my mini gallery of my UO art to share. I hope it's ok to post here, and I hope you enjoy! Starting with a self portrait and a mysterious pickaxe someone gave me on my first day here
This is AWESOME! If I may make a request - I'd love to see your representation of the traditional Occlo crotch fire
Archiving my earlier UO piece and Art Contest entry here too: This was a moment back in 1998 on my very first day playing after my brother just installed the T2A CD-ROM. I watched him play first. We've owned the previous Ultima DOS games before (VII + VIII: Pagan) so I had a pretty good grip on the gameplay already. I just wanted to be a Blacksmith. And a MINER!! "Holy crap! I can farm my own iron and make my own weapons and armour and be all badass!! I'm gonna make a Viking Sword" So I took to the mountains directly North of the Brit Cemetery towards Despise and had the time of my life harvesting resources. Little 14-year-old me was unwise to the dangers of other players. So when two awesome looking guys on black horses (!!!!!) and hallys rode up and started chucking fireballs at me, well...this is basically how it felt. I ran as fast as my 28k modem speed legs would let me. I did not survive. Oh, and the dead miner down there in the corner is a tribute to the other newb who was up there with me at the time. He kept running up to try and steal my ore when I had to hop it to the forge. Just being a total annoying dick. When the PK's rolled up he actually started attacking me too. As if him "siding" with them was going to save him. Seeing his dumb ghost oOoO past a minute later was actually hilarious. Oh well. Such was the UO life and my junior high school years!
I have might to turn one of these into a desktop background. These are amazing! Please keep them coming - you're the man.
Current WIP honoring my #1 all-time treasured moments/events during the old days. Anyone take a guess what this sudden craze was?
Was it when the orc masks came out, the green ones? I remember massive amounts of people at the cove orc fort trying to get their hands on one!
My personal horse band. And what really happens when Tiago gets bored of mining (...for the day). They love it!
Hello friends! I had some time these holidays to finally complete this piece! Do y'all remember the craze of Golden Orc Helmets (and Green Orc Masks) that could be farmed from Orc Lords/Scouts for a time? I would cycle through each Orc Fort every morning in my brand new Valorite Iron suit I worked so damn hard to afford (yes, I did end up losing it...but that is a story for another time) because I was obsessed with collecting as many as I could! My lust and greed for the beautiful, shiny helmets drove me to do some horrible things to those orcish communities every day But tell me, are...are they still a thing around here? (Asking for a friend! )
At the New Year's Eve party, @Baler and I had some deep and meaningful drunk conversations while I served him healthy salads. He nodded off more than a few times... Also someone spiked the drinks to explode.
