Added some new work, two UI mockups and a new illustration piece.

The one mockup I'm actually rather proud of, as it's animated using After Effects CS3 - my first attempt at using the application, but I dove right in and picked up the basics rather quickly.

Last night, my World of Warcraft guild, Vulgar Display of Power, finally popped its head into Black Temple. We'd investigated it once earlier a month ago, but last night was the first time we went in there seriously. After getting 3 of the 5 bosses in the Hyjal Summit raid down, we were pretty confident we could do well.

I've been hard at work on something the last couple weeks. I don't want to talk about it much because it's up in the air, I feel like I may jinx it, but right now I'm waiting with baited breath.
