I will unashamedly admit that Pepper is rapidly becoming my favourite character in the strip. Not only is she always fun to draw (and always seems to turn out well), but she’s hitting what I call “the Tito Zone”, as in she is starting to write herself. She is definitely the most random of cast members, and I think contributes alot, where some people were wondering why I even put her in when I relaunched. Well, now you know why. Because Pepper is awesome.

And yeah, Aikida’s hair magically changes again. We may stay with this one, it is pretty iconic as Aikida hair goes.

I think I’ll be able to milk one more strip from this mini-arc, and then we’ll be looking at the obligatory Batman strip on Wednesday. I’ll be seeing that tonight, and you’ll hear all about it on Monday.

As I’ve mentioned a few times, I’m back into LOTRO. The big thing that hooks me into the game is the visual immersion… Turbine has crafted a great take on Middle Earth, with such detail that it becomes obvious that these guys are really into the source material.

Since my computer actually has the ability to render the game in all the glory it deserves, I figured I’d run around and grab a few screen shots… a virtual tour, of sorts, of Eriador. No one asked for this, of course, but I like these sort of things in my archives to look back on. Also, you never know, it might interest you enough to take a look for yourself. (You can look up Barasiiv on Landroval if you do. Just don’t expect money. I am ass broke.)

Anyway, here are the first few shots I took today. (Click on the image to see it full sized)

Bag End, exterior shot.

Bag End, interior.

Brandybuck Hall. This part of Buckland is gorgeous at night… it makes me wish I could live here.

Brandywine Bridge, with my captain, Barasiiv, enjoying some halfling leaf in the foreground.

Another shot of Bara, at Buckleberry Ferry. Aren’t those freckles just the cutest?

The Prancing Pony, in Bree.

Thats all for now, I’m going to try and grab some good shots of Weathertop and Rivendell for Monday. Rivendell looks exceptionally amazing at night.

Vote. Watch Batman. Come back Monday.

EDIT: The Dark Knight was perfect.
