What did you make that in?

Admittedly I rarely read the descripts. But that stil wouldnt have put "cows" in my impression from that head. Maybe hogs, or something rhinocerous looking. Still it is a great picture

Narf: Hand drawn in Paintshop Pro, if memory serves correctly. (although the head, obviously, is cut&pasted from the game's files)

Didn't even use my artpad & pen for that one either, I'm pretty sure it was a mouse job. I also did ones for the Zynarra and Bobrobans - http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/propresp.htm

Hand-drawn? Ever considered going professional?

OK, next time I encounter the Texrak, I'm going to conquer them right away! Need some beef and milk to feed the citizens of my empire...

My artistic talents are very hit and miss. Sometimes I sit down and sketch out something to the standard of the battlecow first time. Other times I sit for hours and hours and produce nothing decent whatsoever. Also, my extraordinary talent for laziness means I produce images at a rate of about 3 or 4 per year- that's only slightly lower than my Othaglot & Cane chapter output. Although slow, my writing skills are far more consistent, so I think if I ever wanted to earn a living creatively, it would be with a pen rather than a paintbrush. Would be cool to design my own cover art though.

Also, I don't think there's much of a market for hand-drawn monsters, which seems to be my forte. That said, I have long been thinking about putting a portfolio/gallery on my website, featuring some of my better pictures. Never got round to it though.

Thanks for the comment though Narf, that's a real compliment.

Hey Dogscoff:

Which is way simple and alot of fun. Plus, I have many ideas which are just text and would work much better with some copyrite free images

Please feel free to email/ PM me. I'm always looking for new graphics to pile up on my heap of unfinished projects.

(seriously, there is a chance that I'll finish whatever it is, it just comes down to how well I can draw whatever it is you want drawn.)

BTW, I downloaded Wesnoth the other day and it ate up my saturday afternoon quite merrily. Thoroughly recommended to anyone on this forum.

I have a neat idea for a scenario as well...
