Continuing the Good Fight

Thanks a ton to everyone who commented on my predicament, especially to those who offered their expertise in getting the problems fixed. It means a ton to me that I have such good friends who are so supportive.

I am not going to post a new page this week, since no one really got to see last weeks page. Also, since I spent a bunch of time actually learning how WordPress works, and not actually drawing, I could use the little bit of catch up time. I’m just hopin’ you’ll all give me a freebie on this one.

I’m going to stick with this, no matter what. I can’t let a silly little thing like the broken internet get in my way. It’s proof that every distribution method, even free, has it’s hazards and hangups.

keep the positive vibes comin’, guys, and I’ll keep providing the art.

A Glimpse of the Past

I like when the worlds we visit have depth. I always try to introduce a history into the worlds that I create. We get a little bit of that here, with a brief look at an earlier war in Anthasa.

I originally was inspired by my own uninformed mental picture of our World War 1. Since then I listened to a really good documentary podcast called Hardcore History all about the war, and I learned a lot. Pretty intense stuff. I’m not sure if I chose my imagery wisely or not.

I’ve been working on my art style on the side a little bit. My love of Star Wars obviously runs deep. I decided to draw my own character. His name is Durm Starbright. I must have made him up more than… a really long time ago. He’s been my Star Wars character in every paper and digital RPG that was Star Wars themed I’ve ever played. From the 6 sider dice pool game from West End Games, Star Wars Galaxies, the Wizards paper RPG, and the Old Republic MMO.

He was originally a complete Han Solo homage character. Since then he has aged. he lost his leg from the shin down at one point. He’s pretty old. I’m playing in Fantasy Flight’s Edge of the Empire with some friends, and Durm, now in his 50s, learned something about himself. He either found the Force, or maybe the Force found him. Now, with his trusty blaster in one hand, and a lightsabre in the other… well, see for yourself;Durm in Progress
