A tribute to The Friendly Necromancer

Here's the tribute video that I made for Friendly. It was actually a lot of work, I had to search everywhere for pics.



Comment if you liked it, please!

Thanks, -Natalie

Goodbye, Friendly

The beloved, most known Wizard101 blogger, The Friendly Necromancer, is taking a "break".

I don't want to call it "leaving".

This post comes directly from his blog:

Times, They Be Changing!

Dear readers,

It is time for a change.

I have made the decision that I will no longer be keeping a daily blog about Wizard101 (things haven't really been "daily" here at all lately anyway). It's been a great two years and eight months writing about Wizard101, accumulating 1,260 blog posts and a whole ton of comments from my amazing readers.

It's been a lot of fun that's even led to a couple trips to Austin to meet the fine people of KingsIsle, who I appreciate deeply. Without their generosity, The Friendly Necromancer could not have held all the raffles that we had. KI is a great company with outstanding employees. This blog has been yet another interesting highlight in my life. We've had a lot of fun! If you're coming late to the party, read through this post for kind of a road map to how we came to this point in time.

If you head to the fansite page for Wizard101, you'll see that things are now on equal footing as I am not really acting as a community leader for Wizard101 anymore, but I'm still on the list. :) I'm not completely abandoning Wizard101. I still play it, and my family still enjoys it. I just finished up an article about it for Beckett's Fun Online Games this morning. I still have Angus to finish leveling. Et Cetera . . . you'll still see me around. :)

I am, however, taking a break while I gather some new ideas as I try to figure out a new direction. The format of this blog may change or may become part of something grander. At this point I don't plan on completely discontinuing posts about Wizard101, but it won't be at the rate that it was for so long. If I do end up writing on another blog, I will definitely leave a link somewhere for the TFN faithful to check out.

The content on this site will remain up and free for all in the meantime.

Thanks so much for your understanding, and I wish you all the best.

Peace.

Happy Dueling!

You will be missed, Friendly.

I'm currently working on a goodbye tribute picture and video for him. If you have any screenshots of your wizard with Friendly, any pictures with Friendly in them, drawings, etc. please e-mail them to me! E-mail the pics to nataliemoonblade@gmail.com. There are no limits to the amount pictures you can send. They will be used in the video tribute.

Thanks.

Art and Social Networks

Hai peeps! :D

Okay, so my uncle has been a digital artist for a long time and he does a bunch of this cool 3D stuff I really really really want to show you guys. I know I'm probably not supposed to show off artwork that isn't mine (but I'm gonna give credit) but I'm his niece and he knows I'm not gonna go and sell it off DeviantArt x_x.

See, I'm gonna try to find a picture he made and show you people, but you see, it has his name in this transparent text in the center of a lot of his work which is like an anti-rip watermark. And also, I don't want all of you stalking him on Facebook and trying to find me on there since you already know my first name x_x.

What I CAN tell you right now is that he uses Photoshop (for tweaking purposes mostly) and a lot of these really fancy 3D softwares.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay the social networking part. I don't really go on my Natalie Moonblade facebook account a lot anymore because all it is is just a bunch of young kids swearing and thinking their cool and all I do is go on there to like...change my status every two weeks? Then I get invites to go to these people's "weddings" x.x Yeah, so you might have to wait a little bit for me to accept your friend request if you send me one.

I DO use my Twitter every one and awhile, mainly for posting links and just saying random things.

Diary of a wizard connectX, every month or so I might log in...

Central, everyday, mainly for my shop.

That's pretty much it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm going to show you more of my artwork later :)

Bye for now

Chicken Nuggets o.o


That explains it all xD

So, I got a lot of orders in my shop on Central, I almost went crazy. I was too lazy (OOH THAT RHYMES) to do them, but in honesty, I could've gotten them done in like 10 minutes and they weren't even hard. One was just putting in a background, adding text, rotating it, adding a drop shadow, DONE. Click, click, click, done.


Here's another one, it was fun to make, but I almost lost it when GIMP froze, thank god I didn't loose it:

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my 3D Text! I wish someone would order something with 3D text...



Background is white so it shows up on the blog. I was gonna make it rainbow, but it looks really weird with rainbow.

Other stuff, might not write a story. *audience applauds*. Yeah, I have some ideas but I just don't think I'm gonna write it.

Oh, and people, I have to. Just one.


Caption: Dis flower I likez. It smellz good.

That's all I gotta say.

Bye for now! ^.^

Obsessive Fangirliness Disorder

Okay, I'm here to inform you that I have an extreme case of OFD, Obsessive Fangirliness Disorder.

See, my case is probably the most extreme as this disorder as you can get.

You want to know why?

My avatar on Central is DESTERY, my sig is DESTERY, my desktop background is DESTERY, my youtube channel background is DESTERY, my w101 central profile is DESTERY, my w101 central blog is DESTERY, my userpage on central is DESTERY, if anyone calls me by my right last name, I will kill them, I force them to use "Moore" not my actual last name, my Firefox persona is DESTERY, I have DESTERY written on my hand, I wrote DESTERY on all of the pages in my binder, I have pictures of DESTERY in my room, I taped DESTERY'S face to my binder, all I thought about today was DESTERY, I felt lost because DESTERY'S face wasn't anywhere when I was at school.

As you can see, my case is very extreme. Thankfully, I can calm myself before I go crazy without seeing his face because I taped his face all over my binder and inside it too. So in case I feel crazy without his face, I just gotta look at my binder.

Also, if any of you are wondering...

-Destery's last name is Moore
-The Destery firefox persona was made by me, you can only see his eyes in it though >.< not his whole face. But who cares, I like his eyes. If you want to see it, go here: http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/ and in the search box in the top right corner, type in Destery Moore, there is only one.
-And people, Destery is a guy, not a girl xD

I just taped the pictures a few hours ago, so when I go to school tomorrow people will be like "Who's that person all over your binder?"

I already have my response set up.

As I type this I occasionally look over at my binder and look at the little Destery faces looking back at me.

Thank god for printers.

Well anyways that's it for now, bye! :3

Fangirliness

Okay, so I've gotten COMPLETELY OBSESSED with desandnate, these Youtubers.

They swear a lot though, so I think I'm not going to post a video or link or anything...

But umm....
*fangirl squeal*

Yeah so that's Destery (the "des" part of desandnate).

Huh?

I wasn't supposed to find out his last name?

No, no I wasn't stalking him, I WAS INNOCENTLY LOOKING AT HIS PERSONAL INFORMATION ON HIS MYSPACE PROFILE.

O.O

Yeah, I know, what a creep I am.

I made that pic, I know too many brushes, blah blah, work on your rendering, blah blah, blahhhh.

His hair is A PAIN IN THE BUTT to cut out, but it's awesometastic.


So um anyways, if you've googled "Natalie Moonblade" you'll see a question on WikiAnswers called "What is Natalie's Moonblade's real name?" O.O

Yeah, um, stalkers 0.o

Nah, jk, I dont really care, it's only my first name.

So that's it for now...


Bai!
*HUGE FANGIRL SQUEAL*
