School and Withdrawl

Tue Apr 21, 2009, 10:54 AM

So I've been going to classes and everything and hoping to pick up some new ideas in order to remove the complacent attitude I was forming toward making anything. It's been a success so far and I have even found a greater appreciation for all the processes that go into making a piece. The newest technique I was able to use was ink, and so I'm planning on experimenting with it in the near future.
Gaming has unfortunately been depleted from my life and I am suffering from withdrawl. I keep having dreams about my old adventures and possible future storylines. Without a group however, dreams will remain as such. I never knew how much I would miss the sound of rattling dice...

Hey, I was right the first guess! That's too bad you can't play. Maybe you'll find new players or something.

Awwwr, I have to admit I've been getting lots of gaming lately!
Just find a club thing... we go to the local uni. They have a really cool club and if you mention you wanna be a part of a game I'm sure someone would let you join them!

Thde gamers where I am are uber friendly!

Good luck with inking! Once I learned how to use brush instead of pen it improved the look of my work 100%. Just keep practicing and don't get discouraged by it.

The way I learned was I would scan in my pencil work or other people's art, color all the black lines light blue in an art program, print it out and practiced on that. It's a good way to learn without ruing your original art.

I don't have any advice on the game stuff since that style of gaming is like Kryptonite to me. But still I wish you luck in finding a group to play with.

I'm a storyteller...sort of. I don't have a group and I'm just starting to figure this out. On a side note can you read Isabelle's requiem?

Once I had my 2 kids gaming dried up... doesn't mean you can't write your own stuff and draw about it, 5DM. I have a plan to write independent Cricket stories for the story hour, not based on playing - you heard it here first...
