Hello! I Did This Drawing For A DM/friend A While Ago, And Thought I'd Post It Here Cause I Think It

Hello! I did this drawing for a DM/friend a while ago, and thought I'd post it here cause I think it turned out nice :)

My friend created the creatures and I took his descriptions and facts and came up with this design; he was very happy with it. Unfortunately the campaign they were used in was cut off cause no one could find the damn time to do sessions (freaking choir people, they have no time for life I swear). Anyways, I really like drawing in this style even if it took a while.

I feel like so many people on this website do digital art but I don't have any of the stuff for that so I will only be posting physical art I've done; apologies that I'm not great at taking pictures of them (as you can tell from my previous posts).

Warm Regards,

Sam

"blog"? do you mean the void?

wowie I have no idea what the fork I'm doing. I'm 17, sheltered, and the word blog looks like a typo to me. I feel like it should just be "log". Anyways, I shouldn't even be here. The only form of social media I've had for 5 years is Pinterest and honestly that's enough for me. I guess I'll just shout into the void and hope to feel like a normal teenager or something. If you interact with me I will become immensely confused but go along with whatever at this point. I think this'll just be my cringe compiling of thoughts I don't care to put in even my journals. Oh, and have a lovely day.

Warm Regards,

Finished the outline for this page today; still not sure how I want to go about shading larger areas so leaving it like this for now. Looks basic but whatever. Still hate cursive. Also imagine having such a massive hubris that you fall for Bill's flattery--it would take a lot more to inflate my pathetic little ego. My ego is currently a bookend in my brain. My ego is a coaster getting soggier by the minute from a Sprite can. It is Shrodinger's cat. It's the pen that ran out of ink forever ago but I keep forgetting and try to use it every couple of days and still forget to throw away. It's the bag of DnD dice I haven't properly used in like a year but only bring out to shake it violently so I get dopamine from the clicky clacky sounds.

Anyways Warm Regards,

Sam

Thought I might as well put this page here cause it's fully done; I've finished the Floating Eyes and bat pages except for the photos (still need to find the care to draw them out) so I'll post those when they're done. This is definitely one of my favorite projects. Actually, it's the largest project I've attempted by far, and it's already given me many conversation points (it's about 50/50 someone cares to hear about ciphers though. I always carry 5 different types on me).

If someone has any tips or advice as I remake this book, please let me know! especially with weathering the book in a way that doesn't ruin the writing/art. I tea-stained all 3 books I'll be using but it just doesn't look right. If you think it looks fine and I'm focusing too much on it, also let me know!

Warm Regards,

Hello! First actual post; thought I might as well put it out there that I'm recreating Journal 3 from Gravity Falls. I am not a hardcore fan, on account of the fact that I don't even know what that entails or know a whole lot about any piece of media. I like the show a lot though, and like crafts. Still trying to figure out how to do the blacklight portions, cause I tried glow-in-the-dark paint and accidentally smudged some ink :/

This isn't a great page, mostly cause I was still trying to find the best way to set up the cursive sections. Also, I don't actually have a physical copy of the book and instead trying my best with a pdf version.

I've got more pages done but progress is slow so I'll just post whenever. If you want to chat (chat? message?) go ahead; still trying to figure out how the interweb works though.

Warm Regards,

Sam

On Doing Ciphers in Public

Okay so I journal a lot, right? And in public places a lot too, specifically at church. Now because of where I sit in my high school group there are people behind and above me, so I become paranoid that they're going to read my journal. So to fix this I. I decided to just. Use Ford's substitution cipher whenever I wanted to vent or write private things. I memorized it a while ago and I can do it pretty fast.

Con: It takes me over twice as long to read entries in cipher.

Pro: They can't read what I'm writing, because even if they watch the show I doubt they have it memorized. Mission accomplished!

Con: It probably looks like I'm writing in some sort of witchcraft language, which isn't great in a church.

Pro: I get to see some baffled looks sometimes whenever I look behind me or write on a whiteboard.

Pro: Some people ask about it which means I get to infodump as much as I think I can about ciphers and codes before they realize their mistake. This is great, especially since my church has whiteboards scattered around sometimes.

In conclusion, there are more pros than cons, and I see no problems with this. Be weird, everyone!

Warm regards,

Sam
