More adventures in Aden [also graphics design and new music]

So Christmas is officially over and the weekend is here.

I got a box of chocolate and some money. Didn't send Santa a wishlist though, maybe I should've. I was super nice too this year I think. My brother and his family paid a visit too.

Meanwhile I've been stuck in Lineage 2M. Mostly Dragon Valley and the quests there, I've been trying to spend time with family instead.

Still in Giran Village :(

I did get some (holiday) Season coins by completing tasks and scored a Aeore Eva's Saint class via cards, which greatly boosted my stats and overall morale.

In my previous post I forgot to mention about my photo editing roots. About 20 years ago I used to design avatars/forum signatures for people around the world playing Lineage 2.

It was later on a very useful skill in the music making business as I could design my own artwork and such for mixtapes, albums and EP's/singles.

Tried my hand at designing an avatar/forum signature for L2M using GIMP.

In the picture you can see this spacey background and my IG character. It's sort of fuzzy and all as I took it with a smartphone but you get the idea, I hope. I used to get money (adena) and items in-game designing these; I tried researching this subject more and it seems there was a signature "craze" in the mid 2000's.

Too bad you can swap classes anytime and the L2M forum doesn't support signatures; maybe it could find it's use as a Discord banner? Or make a slideshow of classes one prefers to use like I saw in a Powerpoint tutorial?

Either way it brought back some memories. Like that time I got a +6 Bloody Orchid from a guy in Greece.

But the best gift was that L2M is free to play I think; I was thinking of purchasing content in-game to support the developers.

Like I promised I also released a new deep house EP for you to enjoy :

It's free download, too, as I've been struggling with my website subscription payments and the store could be taken down (or at least I'm not entitled to receive payments).

Anyway, I'd like to wish you a happy new year and thanks for reading this blog as well as your support!
