Getting close. It is at 176 pages, and I'm looking everything over again before I order the print test. I'm also debating with myself whether or not I should add something else to it.
Thank you! I didn't even think to comment here with an update.
I did create a short video showing the book as it currently exists.
My current thinking is that I'll add six more pages and call it complete.
Part of what I love about the transition to the table for drawing is layers. I can experiment without damaging earlier work that I'm happy with. And it makes me more willing to try bad ideas, since I know I can eliminate them from existence if they're too terrible.
No, sorry. I used to draw a lot, and even did some game art in the 90s, but I hadn't really drawn anything since then. The entire package just amazed me (I'm so old). I'm still impressed with how my brain forgets it is a tablet when I'm working.
What are you using? I picked up Procreate about a year ago, and it (with the Apple pencil on the iPad) is the greatest digital drawing tool I've ever used.
A friend and I were discussing exactly this earlier today. I keep wondering what I could do if I had the financial security to dedicate all year to a single book. I'd love to try, but the world appears to be opposed to that idea. (Somehow, I'm not independently wealthy.)
I'm awful at promoting myself, so please forgive me for making this very brief.
I wrote a new book. It's in PDF at DriveThruRPG. You can see the contents in the attached images. There's no print-on-demand version at the moment, because I'm giving the PDF a few weeks to shake out the last of the...
You might be thinking of a 16-ounce glass. I have designed a few, but I pulled them offline to rethink and possibly improve.
And thanks, everyone! Sorry, I'm so slow to get here, but always awesome to see my work being discussed. (And, hopefully, enjoyed.)
