Once again, I come bearing arts. Not exactly the most detailed or complete of arts, but arts nonetheless.


This is actually the redo of an oooold sketch, which was drawn after I first read [info]weiila's wonderful ficlet, Ignorance Is Bliss.

I don't think I quite got the half-freaked-half-pissed expression Errol should have in this situation, but I am pleased with Razer's "What have you done to yourself?" face.

----------------



Thiiiis has a bit of a long story behind it. The chick there is an OC belonging to [info]azkaban_hunter and is the result of Rayn heavily roofie-ing Razer at...some point in the past. (This is also obviously drastically AU and less obviously waaaaay postcanon, although Razer doesn't look it. Feh, whatever.)

Yes, Errol is living in Razer's house. This is hilarious.

----------------


On a COMPLETELY different note, but equally fannish, are many of you familiar with the Jak and Daxter Wikia? Well, it's in need of some serious assistance, articlewise. I edited Razer's article so that it wasn't a stub yesterday, and today I'm moving on to Blitz and Mizo (who have separate articles even though, uhm, SAME CHARACTER and we're well past needing spoilercuts so don't flip out), but a lot of the wiki is...about as bad as those.

The admin is a nice guy, but the place is still in need of help on several fronts. Like...grammar. Grammar is important. Clarity, too, especially for a wiki.

HI THIS IS NASHI RECRUITING FOR A CRUSADE.

If anyone wants to help with this I'd love you forever and ever.

EDIT: Mizo and GT Blitz have been edited! Check out the shiny.

Great artwork! I love the sketchy feel to your artwork - it's loose, flowing, but still nails the character traits so you know precisely who it is.

I fixed up the Jak and Daxter article on Wiki (mainly fixing up the grammar and getting rid of the "&"s littering the article. I'd be more than glad to play grammar Nazi to the J&D Wiki. It does need a bit of help :X

Thank you very much! I tend to like smooth sketches better than crisplu inked lineart lately, so it makes me happy to find someone who doesn't think it looks horrifically incomplete or something. XD

And thaaaaank yooooou. Any help would be appreciated. I just finished editing Mizo's article, although now I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do about G.T. Blitz's. It just seems weird to have them split like that.

Could you merge the articles? I know a lot of wikis do that for characters with alteregos/hidden identities, but it depends on the situation. :| Is the admin guy averse to doing that?

The admin guy...doesn't seem to be doing much, but considering I was wikiwarring with one of his buddies yesterday (he kept changing Razer's character image to a piece of concept art with the wrong design and I kinda bitched him out about it) I doubt he'd be particularly apt to let me do something that big.

:/ That's really lame. Concept art is really awesome and it's understandable to use when there's nothing else, but still. If it's not the final character model, DON'T USE IT.

The guy's not willing to relinquish ownership of the wiki, I guess? That really sucks when other people want to improve it.

Oh dear Jesus, I didn't realize how much help that article needed.

The almight Jak article is now fixed. I mainly fixed up grammar, got rid of the & symbols when I could, and added in a lot of much-needed details and such into the biography. AND ITALICIZING AND LINKING ALL THE GAMES. Oh my god, you know how many times they just had Jak II, without quotes, italics, and/or a link? Dear god.

These guys left out a lot of things D:

I think you should do what [info]tehsongsong suggested - merging them would be a much better idea. It is weird to just split 'em like that :P

I also fixed up the Daxter article, though thankfully it wasn't as much of a trainwreck as the Jak one. I feel like such a dork spending all this time fixing a fucking fan wiki.

Then again, a lot of people tend to use the fan wikis for a fandom more than the real Wiki article, so I guess it'll be worth it in the end? :D

/ramble.

Oh god, that wiki. I've pretty much ignored it in the past but would totally be willing to be an editor/grammar nazi and help with anything else needed.


Randomly: I now cannot picture Razer without the hand and back tattos that you give him. It just fits so well and makes sense with the rest of Mizo's gang.

Thank you so much! I'd like to at least try to get it readable, mostly because as an RPer it would be really nice to have a place to point for my favorite fandom characters' background information rather than writing out hundreds of words that you can't prove to a mod who hasn't played the game. :|

...And that is kind of awesome, just so you know. I love when fanon infects people, whether it's mine or not. It's just a neat feeling to know that THIS IS NOT IN THE GAME but so many people agree with it that it's common knowledge. :D

Oh man I know. XD It's SO HARD to find small facts and details from the games or about the charcters without playing through the games or watching the cutscenes over and over. It makes research take so long.

That's what's so awesome about fanon, especially in the J&D world. There's so much left open or unanswered by Naughty Dog that fanon's the only way to go, but there's just enough there to make building fanon so much fun. :D

Good Lord, I've never really been one for editing wikis but one look at the featured article about Haven City had me clicking the register button and a respectable fraction of the speed of light.

Great flaming balls of Mar, that's pretty diabolical, and confusing, very confusing, "There also existed a special ministry, which gave away civilians who were on strike" gave away? What? What? I have a vague recollection of Praxis yelling something about strike action on his loud speaking thingums but that just doesn't make any sense. Also I really, really badly want to correct the caption of the picture that goes with the featured article, it's Jak II with a capital J damnit!

/rant

Soleik, I'll be more then happy to pitch in where I can, I'd be a bit hesitant when it comes to writing articles since I use English-English as opposed to American-English but for anything else I'm your crocapuppy! xD
