Recently, I have been in a bit of a creative rut with my writing, stuck with a general sense of writers' block both for the blog and for my academic writing. Part of this may be the fact that I am really focused on doing a lot of work writing, but part of this is the fact that I'm burned out on writing and pining for running a game. Of course, I'm not sure that I have the time to do much running.
So instead of writing, I have been doing more painting. After getting a journal from some friends made by an artist who painted on the front of a composition book as his canvas. That got me thinking about painting on composition books to make journals. That headed me into thinking about making player journals for D&D games.Instead of busting out my acrylics and brushes, I decided to work in markers, and chose to work with familiar images from AD&D, done in garish colors and some exaggerated line work.
Anyway, since I have little to write right now, I'd spend a little time posting what I have been drawing.
I dig the Beholder!
ReplyDeleteThose are great. Awesome idea!

WOW! I love it! Especially the Beholder :-) It's "facial" expression is great :D
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have found a good creative outlet for your writers' block/burnout. And great work with the limited resources the colored markers provide too.
ReplyDeleteQuick thing - I thought that was a Black Dragon? (Sadly, I don't know where my Monster Manual is, so I can't check.)
ReplyDeleteHey, I like those. This is your idea of creative block? Jeez.
ReplyDeleteAwesome journal covers! As I was looking at each of them, I couldn't help thinking how many gamers would love to own these. They're good enough that people would gleefully pay for them.
ReplyDeleteThe Beholder rules.
ReplyDeleteI can hear it now: "What? I think I heard a noise over there! Hah! Something to Turn To Stone! Hah! I love doin' that!"
