Designed just for you by... Ferozakh

We love showcasing work by our talented community artists, and this month, we're featuring logos and in-game rewards designed by AQW Community artist, Ferozakh! When we asked him to tell us how he found AdventureQuest Worlds, this is the story he told...

"I started playing AQ when I was like 10, and then MechQuest. I started playing the original AQ initially due to peer pressure. Then, after my final exams in my primary school in 2008, I started creating my AQW account via an ad.

However, I started playing in February 2009, due to the difficulty in logging in that time.
I started drawing my personal armor when I was 11. Then when I played the game, I started drawing doodles of Nation sets in 2011, as they were my favourite that year.

At the time, I didn’t have much creativity in making sinister-looking art (I drew the concept art of the ArchFiend DoomLord for the first time ever, though it was lost.).

After that, I just drew AQW art, all over, even in my lessons... I was once even reprimanded by my tutor for drawing all over my worksheet.

This December will be my character's 10th anniversary!"

Ferozakh also draws AQW-themed comics featuring the cute little far0 NPC shown above. You can see his latest comic here!
