Sweet covers. I've attempted to go digital, but unless I spring for a Wacom tablet (and even then, I dunno) it'll never happen. No digital tool that I've used gives me the flexibility of hand drawn on paper with Pixma Micron art pens. All of them do some things very nicely, but there is always some kind of hole; I want some kind of feature that I can't quite figure out how to do. I liked Inkarnate for a while, but I could only approximate what I wanted, not exactly make it.I admit that's a hassle that I still have to go scan them after I draw them, but at the table that doesn't matter very much. And I also admit that some features are tedious and time-consuming to draw by hand that would be quick and easy with software.But I might just be showing my age. When I started drawing fantasy maps, the idea that you could render them on a computer was still years away from being taken seriously.</blockquote>
