Well, I have been doing a lot more art! And yes, playing tons of games.
This is actually a version of another player’s character, Wyrt. I don’t normally draw other people’s characters but I had this unshakable vision and had to get it on paper. Normally Wyrt is fully armored but I really wanted to make a sort of Scrat version of a Kobold. If you’ve forgotten, Scrat is the manic saber-toothed squirrel from the Ice Age movies.
Next up, another little original! I adore coloring in my Kraft sketchbook! I have had colored pencils for years but used hardly ever used them. Until now! I am enjoying colored pencil!
The “wind” is white gel pen. And I think it looks really cool. That’s one of the things I like about the Kraft paper. And I know I’m not amazing at colored pencil, but I’m having fun! For once in my life!
In less fun art news, I drew, what I had hoped, would be another bird piece for the bird fund raiser. Well, it turned out that I screwed up the inks, had to cover up with watercolor ground, then the ink smeared when I erased the bit on top of the watercolor ground, and THEN the only way to fix it was to paint it in ACRYLIC. Boo! Anyway, I barely pulled it off. The watercolor ground (despite sanding with a nail file) is still chunky. I’ll post a photo later if I have to. I also screwed up several other bird pieces! Including an art trading card of parakeets that I fucked up by initially coloring with the PITT pens and the colors were NOT what I needed them to be!
In game news I am still in 7 games!! OMFG! And running two. But Oregon Weird is actually at the finale! It’s taking a while because it’s the big bad boss fight and the players have to get through a couple sub-bosses first. Then I’m taking a 3 month break or so and I’ll be working on the Tremere game. Which actually needs a map! So I have to make architectural layouts for the house of leaves the players will be living in. If you don’t know what the “house of leaves” reference is, do yourself a favor and immediately check this book out from the library! House of Leaves Wiki (spoilers!)
As always, thanks for reading!!!! I’m so glad you haven’t quit on me!
Love both of those pieces!
