But I can sometimes overcome my maladroit lines by using stipples, which are much more forgiving (in the same way that miniature painting is a pretty forgiving art form).matthewjksullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126108200355039621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-32208093036281522982018-04-07T17:12:41.106-07:002018-04-07T17:12:41.106-07:00I like the stippled sketching style... very distin...I like the stippled sketching style... very distinctive!

Diving that deep into a character during rpg sessions is something I've not done in a while, though I still play semi-regularly with my roleplaying group (16 years now!).<br /><br />I kept a long-time journal of one of my most beloved characters adventures as we ran through them, though it was never to the beautifully scripted standard of Jiun's. Perhaps I should revisit old Harold and see if I can rekindle the enthusiasm to dive so deeply "into character" again for future gaming opportunities?Daihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978439841611727387noreply@blogger.com
