Finally got around to buying a drawing tablet, it's gonna be an adjustment. I've always been a mouse guy.

The Whisper Bard in one of my D&D games loved to go wild with haste actions, I swear to god he rolled crits on all his attacks.

Some (probably 2 year old) art that I made for my friends birthday of his last two D&D characters; Kondrat the Paladin/Rogue and Yama no Machi the Sorcerous Samurai.

Another scene from my D&D game, the "Pond of Skulls" which the party stumbled across and eventually purified with the help of it's Siren and Fairfolk magic.

(old experiment) When Auden Fieldwalker awoke in the mudflats of his home; he had to dig himself out of the soil like a shambling corpse as his Patron, the Moonlight Man awaited with cold light.

Alright, so I *love* Noita! But when I played it lightly modded, there was a pretty strange glitch where 30+ hamis would all spawn on the same little tile. Then, I'd walk over and get swarmed by love (bites).

One of my friends ran a short Pathfinder 2 game about.. half a year ago? These were some little tokens I had made for it.

Any advice/tips on rotoscoping? Thought about trying it out but I'm not sure where to start in terms of apps or websites!

I've started doing it about a couple months or two back for a game project (I work a fast as a snail), so I don't have too much advice.

I usually take a short video (anywhere between 5 - 30 seconds) and drop it into a program or website (ezgif) which can turn the video into a gif with a certain number of frames. I shoot for an amount of frames that I feel comfortable working on, I have a longer project in the works. But most of them end of being 20 - 60.

The best method is to break it into pieces like "cat, door, table, floor, background" and work on one at a time. Then, you can adjust after you feel comfortable with it. If you want a good starting point; hands. They have a wide range of motion and how the fingers move makes it really easy to see how the final product will look as your working on it.

The biggest tip I can give is to feel comfortable making something a little ugly or imperfect, in-between frames are often pretty silly looking. I'm not an artist by trade, so I've been learning a lot with the help of friends who are and just by experimenting with what's fun!

In terms of art programs, I primarily use Aseprite and Krita. You can pretty much use any program which has any frame system.

So I've recently moved from the last dungeon to this lodge; my homunculus is enjoying the new room and loves to pace back and forth all day! Since it kept stealing my amulet, I decided to toss it into the cauldron last time I reformed it. The results were promising on the intelligence side! But, now it taken to causing mischief upon my neighbors. Also, please excuse the shakes. My recent delving into my Deadlokinomcon has left me rather rattled.

Another thanks to @pangur-and-grim, my friends love your cats.

mouse and thing.

This stupid thing won't drop off the urn, 4/6 of them are DEAD.

(The rare two versions, some of my friends like the first one more).

Thanks to @jimmyhoffathecat for the inspiration.

I hate cursed tomes.

This is a embellished scene (loosely based on the Meteor Swarm MTG card) from a recent D&D (5e) game. The Crimson Companies abjuration wizard (Ludovicus the Crowfoot) was able to block an incoming meteor (from a swarm) by putting up an arcane barrier which almost burned him out. In doing so, he prevented the party from taking a fatal blow and saved a handful of civilians in the area.

They are so close to ending this part of the campaign, I can taste it.

Hellboy is probably one of my favorite series. I've always loved Mike Mignola's art direction and storytelling, especially in a lot of the 1-off stories.

[probably-headless]

Runescape is one of those games that I don't think will ever go a way. It's forever.

[probably-headless]

Another from a while back, I wanted to create a fun little space scene.

I recently got a job as a handy man in this little village off town called the "Orchard Post". It's been great for the most part. But, I swear to Tymora that every other animal is some guys familiar or a druid in disguise.

Just yesterday, I was sitting on a stool and counting my coins. When this wild rabbit runs up and starts hopping around all entertaining while following the shine of my silver. So, I start waving it around because it was funny.

The "rabbit" runs up, takes the coin and then teleports away. I can spare the silver, but come on man. You can cast misty step and your just doin' this for petty cash? Seriously?!

(This is a rotoscope of some of the wild rabbits from last summer, we have a lot of them in my state and they are pretty chill with free apple).
