Hey there guys (and gals if there are any who read this)


The short list of Gambit, ZYX, Beowuuf, and Kyzra. Could you guys create a picture each related to DM or fantasy? PLEEEEASE!!! You all being the bravest of the bunch (at least 15 people have voted at one point (only 10-12 now but..)so there is at least 15 of you out there) I figured you may have the humour in yourself (If you can't draw too well)or at least the inclination (if feeling inspired) to make something up.

It can be any kind of image so long as it's not containing explicit sexual or vulgar imagery. I don't need to be putting up warnings all over the place. It can be people, places, or things.. some ideas could even be what do you think the movie poster would look like if it were a movie.. or a box cover idea for RTC or DMJava.. etc etc.. anything you like.

PLEASE PLEASE help! If you you do it others might try as well..

I already have one I'll be putting in that a friend did. so if you all do to it will be 5 in total..

I'd love to...

I'd love to give this a go - but I just simply don't have the free time. It's pretty hard already finding the time to work on my website as well as have a real-life.

However, I was intending to do a few wallpapers for my website at some point in the future, for people to download. Perhaps once I have one of those made, I'll send it to you first so you can put it on this site.

I like that.. hahahaha!

seriously though.. It's not about ability but desire to just do something. People sometimes get inspired by the most basic of images. I've seen some great potential in some really novice artwork. I've been drawing for 11 years and I don't expect anyone who doesn't take it too seriously to be a real Da Vinci.

You have to practice on a daily basis to get better and not everyone has the strong passion to keep with that they have other greater interests but do like to try to get a visual representation of something they can't quite describe in words.

A good example is Tolkein. Much of his art is very simplistic and obviously novice. However he has mannaged to convey the places he has written about with even greater acuracy through these little illustrations. Writing was his passion so he was better at that part of it.

see what I mean?

Hmmmm, I wouldn't like you to loose hope in humanity because of my drawings. No, no I can't draw. I can't write a story in english either.

And if I try to it, I would do it in french or spanish for Paper & pen RPG anyway.

However, I can send you some pictures for PPRPG done by my girlfriend, if you're interested...

I'll put this stuff together as soon as I can.. Just when you think you have time.. BAM!

Anyway, thanks for them both should be interesting to figure out how to lay this whole thing outso as to make best use of the fan art. It would be better to have had something a bit larger.. however this is good enough.

sorry 'bout the size

Did you ever hear about that new job? I keep meaning to ask...

Well, I'm still waiting on that one. I have no idea as to what is going to happen. It's not looking good as the college has told him they can't afford it this year. they are looking into it again since he wasn't willing to give up that quickly and more or less threatened to not provide the summer course if he didn't have help. The summer course brings in some major cash too so they are trying their best this time around to find something.
