What A Job This Is...

We work nights, we some vampires
People huddle round the beat like a campfire
Singing folk songs, but not no Kumbaya my Lord
You download it for free, we get charged back for it


Yosh! Once again it's blog time from the front lines on Bala with your host David Houston! So what's good people?! Is everybody well? And to my classmates who may be reading this who aren't a part of Project Bala, how's the projects coming? Good I hope. It's getting late in the quarter, and I'm sure everybody is feeling the pinch of getting work done! Grind it out people, you can do it!

Now that I've made my positive encouragement speech, I'm going to do my best keep this one a little short because I actually need to follow my own advice and not neglect my other two classes! So lets get down to it. I've been holding down the status quo and I've been doing more concept work as usual. Boss Lady Angelica has put priority on getting the booty paladin (that's what we call him :)) ready for Alpha seeing as how he is one of the main early level baddies, that makes sense! So I went back to trying to finish him up. We hadn't armed the sucker yet, we just knew he would use a hammer of some kind, so I went in the lab and tried to give him his weapon of choice. Stop, hammer time! (How dated of me...-_-;)

As you can see, I came up with three separate variants of his hammer. Personally I'm most partial to the first one! The BP (booty paladin) is a comical type character despite his stature and power. After all, he is several times larger then our dream witch. However, he sticks his butt in the air when he attacks (hence the name) so I thought it was appropriate to give him an equally comical weapon. The face of his hammer looks very disinterested and annoyed as if he is tired of being smacked into the ground repeatedly and having things smashed in his face. We played around with the possibility of the hammer talking to BP while he's on the field, possibly hurling insults at his master if he misses the player (which leads to the question who is really in control?). It's just a thought, but we'll see where this goes!
