The Rite of Supremacy is over! Congrats to Revan on a hard earned fight and a special shout out to CNS for staying strong and ending strong for 3rd. Nicely done, guys. I also want to thank the Sons of Sadow for their consideration in awarding me the highest honor the clan has to bestow and to everyone who recommended my promotion to DA. It means a lot and I greatly appreciate it. Now enough about me, it's the graphics that people want!

Due to real life issues stealing him away from us, (i.e. being consumed by swarms of hot women) Raven is no longer Praetor to the Herald, which means I need a Second. What does this job entail?

-24 hour email response time
-no rank requirements/time as a leader is preferred
-must have Adobe Photoshop (CS2 or higher preferred) and/or Corel Draw 12
-must provide examples of graphics created
-strong work ethic

I will be accepting applications until 11:59 PM EST on March 5th. This position is huge in the sense that my Praetor will be filling in and taking the role of semi-Herald for some time. They will be in charge of administrating over the Magistrates, answering HRLD-related questions, and working to complete lightsabers and warbanners while I am gone. Why will I be gone?

As of 20100204, (February 4th), I have joined the United States Navy and will be going to boot camp on March 23rd. While I will be gone for 8 weeks, I am taking a long deserved LoA while preparing to defend my country. After the 8 weeks, I will be moving to CA, have a laptop with all my DB amazingness there, and high speed internet. Insert happiness here. I have discussed this with Muz for some time and in the event that I cannot come back and fulfill my duties, I will resign from Herald and ask that my Praetor be elevated to my position.

Seeing as "A" School is like military college, I have a feeling I will be able to return and jump back into work with not many issues. However, I am a creature of habit and want everything prepared for the worst case scenario.

Now, let's get the sexiness under way.

Two related notes. Praetor to the Magistrate, Solus Gar, created his own custom lightsaber for those interested in what he can do. Also, we have 4 other custom saber requests in the queue. For those already in there, please bear with us as we try to get these completed.



February alone has been a whirlwind for me; the RoS finishing, the rewards, the Navy. Lately it seems like I haven't been able to stop and catch my breath. While the chaos is overwhelming, I welcome it because it's bringing in all kinds of inspiration for me to continue rocking out the graphical sexiness and get myself into better shape, physically and mentally. When I read over my reccs, something someone said really kind of stood out to me.

"To be honest I'm amazed that Shik hasn't gone and killed us all from the work load and stress"

While there are times that I get frustrated and annoyed, at the end of the day I look at this as my hobby that I share with tons of great people. I enjoy doing graphics in the sense that it provides me with a challenge: to look back at what I have done in the past and improve it. I'm the type of individual to take a challenge and meet it head on and I try to show that with every project I work on. With the face selector and possessions back on the plate, I'm ready to knock this work out to the best of my abilities.

The Navy is going to take a strong portion of time, (drills, study, women), but time management has been something I have greatly improved on. So, I hope everyone is ready for the sexy to come back. Wait, did it actually leave? And it left me with the trash from last night's party? Oh, son of a bi...
