Steampunked!



All I knew is that I wanted to draw something steampunk-y. I didn't really have any idea other than that. This doodle started on August the 17th, lol. I guess I wanted to convey the idea that beneath the fluffy exterior, we're all just machines underneath (that's why the cogs and gears are showing through). Positioning of each of the critters proved to be difficult too. At first I was thinking of a tea party (I am the reference point in this doodle)... But then the angle was off. So why not just go crazy. 

The bunny in this doodle doesn't represent anyone really. I was just reminded of the bunny that I would see on most of my walks and figured why not. It's so cute. :3 

There are so many oopsies in this doodle. As always, it's not straight, lol. Second, because I free-hand all my drawings, one of the cogs is imperfect, lol, and that's why I covered it with the curved metal thinger at the top. And third, the angle of the table... yeah. lol Oh and Dizzy is accompanied by a cupcake because there was too much room on the swing and I didn't know what else to draw. 

I originally thought of a story to go with this doodle, but I have since forgotten what to write. 

I think it went something like this:

I often walk by this large window. I would look in and see myself.

*shifty eyes* Mmmhm. 

I swear I'm not crazy!


So after Patch 3.11 came out, I noticed that the champions had a more prominent, black outline. No one else seemed to have noticed and when I pointed it out, it was met with a silent "you're-cray-cray" response. ;__; But see! Okay, let's not look at the fact that I take random screenshots in game or that I actually put time into this to prove a point or that "BEFORE" is off centre in the picture AND of a different font to "AFTER" (oh gawd, OCD is kicking in)... BUT SEE! (Tempted to change but see to but um, lol. :P) LOOK! THE OUTLINE!!! It makes them look crisper!... *sniffles* I like to zoom-in in-game (and that children, is the use of the epizeuxis... at first I kept thinking that it's an antanaclasis... or it can be a diacope... which are all the nuanced uses of the rhetorical device of repetition... I digress. And yes that's what I learned in university... *shifty eyes*) especially when I wait for minions to spawn and whatnot...
I love you, Lulu. :) You'll always be my main. (This is, btw, taken after the 3.11 patch... LOOK! And boy, do I feel like Tim the Enchanter when I say, "LOOK!" lol. It reminds me of the Rabbit of Caerbannog scene.) So, the reason why I took those "before" screenshots in the first place was because I was going to do a post showing my appreciation for Lulu and... it's too late to explain myself, isn't it?...
In other news, a while back when Fiora was one of the free champions in the rotation, I endeavored to solo Baron. Huehuehue, I did it!
...Didn't go so well with Teemo.

The Weight of Water

Storm after storm
The water piles up
A weight I struggle-
I cannot hold.
It is an ocean,
It is a hole overflowing,
It is us undone,
And I am drowning.

Spear of Destiny!

I had forgotten that you can eat dog food for health!
Da first boss beat. Woohoo!
Time to fight the Angel of Death!!! :O
I win!
So, apart from Doom, I had this vague inkling that I had played this game before when I was a young'un. And I did! So glad I got it during the steam id sale. *beams* It was really fun to re-play. :) The old-school graphics and gameplay were really nostalgic, almost brought a tear to my eye. *sniffles* Good stuff.
