Back in the saddle

After my rumination about the Gap Probelm and its effect on my drawing, I knew I had to post something just to break the logjam of my Inner Critic and get the stream moving again. So, here is a sketch I made last night of pal John and pal Joel at a DM summit we held in a diner:

To be fair: Joel did not actually stab at John with his knife like that. It was more of an underhand jab, but that was harder to draw. And pal Luke was there, but he was sitting next to me, so he's not in the sketch.

At this rate, I'll be done in a year and a half...

So, I had some technical difficulties: the pen I had grown used to using and the new paper I bought were not compatible and caused some blotting issues, so I had to get new pens. I'm still not sure which program to use to do the the digital finishing, since I don't have Photoshop. I have been playing with Pixlr and Graphic Converter, but I need something else. I also have to fiddle with scanning, since the black & white setting is still giving kind of grayscale. Oh yeah - I need to get better at drawing, too.

In any case, page 2 is a bit rough, but I am calling it finished.

Suddenly, last summer...

So, read the indicia...

Thunor, the hipster pixie

Yeah, I know some spells, but they're pretty obscure, you've probably never heard of them.

I used to use pixie dust but now it's so mainstream...
