<strong>July 22, 2026!<\/strong> I plan to retouch some of the artwork on it, as two of the profile artworks use older art (while the third is one of the paintover practices touched-up from last year), before sharing the page more widely. (That's also when I'll update the RSS.)

I'm not very familiar with the source material - I haven't watched the show - but I went in expecting a campy good time. It delivered on this, and more, as I constantly felt the budget for this movie felt much higher than what I would expect for a movie of this scope. Which was an absolute treat for an audience-member, but it made me concerned for how this movie might perform at the box office - as while I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, it felt very niche.&nbsp;<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rt-col-md-4 rt-col-sm-6 rt-col-xs-12 even-grid-item rt-grid-item\" data-id=\"9787\"><div class=\"rt-holder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"rt-img-responsive \" src=\"https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/harbinger_bundle-web.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"598\" alt=\"Second Edition Update #1: The Harbinger&#8217;s Path\" \/><div class=\"overlay\"><h3 class=\"entry-title\"><a data-id=\"9787\" class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/landylachs.com\/sketchblog\/2026\/06\/second-edition-update-1-the-harbingers-path\/\">Second Edition Update #1: The Harbinger&#8217;s Path<\/a><\/h3><div class='post-meta-user '><p><span class='meta-data'><span class='date-meta'><i class='far fa-calendar-alt '><\/i>June 16, 2026<\/span><span class='categories-links'><a class=\"printed\" href=\"https:\/\/landylachs.com\/sketchblog\/category\/printed\/\" rel=\"tag\">Printed<\/a><span class=\"rt-separator\">,<\/span><a class=\"printed-books\" href=\"https:\/\/landylachs.com\/sketchblog\/category\/printed\/printed-books\/\" rel=\"tag\">Printed Books<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><div class='tpg-excerpt'><a href=\"https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/harbinger_bundle-web.png\"><\/a> Covers for \"The Harbinger's Path\" and its bonus booklet!<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rt-col-md-4 rt-col-sm-6 rt-col-xs-12 even-grid-item rt-grid-item\" data-id=\"9767\"><div class=\"rt-holder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"rt-img-responsive \" src=\"https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2017.07.28-the-fulfillment-of-a-dream_03-web.png\" width=\"1280\" height=\"828\" alt=\"Trahearne &#038; Malyck in Cleansed Orr &#8211; GW2 | June 13, 2026\" \/><div class=\"overlay\"><h3 class=\"entry-title\"><a data-id=\"9767\" class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/landylachs.com\/sketchblog\/2026\/06\/trahearne-malyck-in-cleansed-orr-the-fulfillment-of-a-dream-gw2\/\">Trahearne &#038; Malyck in Cleansed Orr &#8211; GW2 | June 13, 2026<\/a><\/h3><div class='post-meta-user '><p><span class='meta-data'><span class='date-meta'><i class='far fa-calendar-alt '><\/i>June 13, 2026<\/span><span class='categories-links'><a class=\"digital-art\" href=\"https:\/\/landylachs.com\/sketchblog\/category\/digital-art\/\" rel=\"tag\">Digital Art<\/a><span class=\"rt-separator\">,<\/span><a class=\"finished-art\" href=\"https:\/\/landylachs.com\/sketchblog\/category\/finished-art\/\" rel=\"tag\">Finished Art<\/a><span class=\"rt-separator\">,<\/span><a class=\"guild-wars-2\" href=\"https:\/\/landylachs.com\/sketchblog\/category\/guild-wars-2\/\" rel=\"tag\">Guild Wars 2<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><div class='tpg-excerpt'><a href=\"https:\/\/lizliu.com\/sketchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2017.07.28-the-fulfillment-of-a-dream_03-web.png\"><\/a> <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<strong>\"The scholar witnessed the fulfillment of his dream.\"<\/strong><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nI was reminded of this drawing last week, during the lead-up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guildwars3.com\/en\"><strong>Guild Wars 3's<\/strong><\/a> announcement last Friday.
