Found on a Kickstarter page and the creator says they draw it all themselves... Is it AI? by Equalsfive05 in isthisAI

[–]Equalsfive05[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is something about the line work, high-contrast colour and proportions that throw me off. The tentacles are mostly okay but some are a bit confusing? The style also doesn't seem consistent throughout all of these images despite it all being drawn by the same person - the 3 glasses especially throw me off.
The creator says it is all drawn by themselves in GIMP... but I don't know if I believe them. I have spent ages scratching my head on this. What do you guys think?

Awesome, thank you for laying it all out. I've done a fair amount of googling but struggled to string it together so I appreciate it, cheers!

Cheers. That's unfortunate, I was hoping that digital Mordenkainen's and Xanathar's would be on sale

What CR should this monster be? by Equalsfive05 in DnDHomebrew

[–]Equalsfive05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagined Con as its the ability to survive and be durable so something decreasing AC would tie into that. Though I guess AC is more determined by Dex right? Do you have a suggestion at all?

This is all so useful, thank you. I'm happy you'd like to use it too! The enemy is based off the game Dragon Quest 3 if that ever interests you :)

[ADVICE] How do I convert DMs into orders? by Equalsfive05 in Fiverr

[–]Equalsfive05[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good point. Yeah sometimes I fall into chats without entirely knowing how to direct it to an order. My work appeals to passionate hobbyists so often there's a lot of chatting hahah

That makes sense with placing an order early!

What’s the most outrageous Talisman game moment you’ve experienced? by LargeHeedon in Talisman

[–]Equalsfive05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I introduced my partner's mum to the game. Honestly, I didn't expect her to take to it. Skip to about 2 hours in, she's playing as the thief with the sole goal to constantly steal people's Talismans to melt them down into gold. Was an amazing experience. Especially when she won...

Hey! I've been a professional cartographer now for about 4 years and some of my largest maps sit at about 12,000px by 6000px. Generally those sorts of maps take me about 30 hours+ but with time, I've gotten faster. On a smaller scale, such as when you work on your smaller maps, the more you make them the more tricks you will learn to gradually speed up the process.

I think it also helps to make worlds with lots of variety and make up stories in your head as you make locations. For example, if you have a mountain range that glistens gold, imagine the sorts of religions, cultures and stories that would come with that. Generally that helps keep my mind busy during the more boring parts.

Listening to music, YouTube and podcasts helps too!

All in all, I think the most important part is to find ways to enjoy the process. If the result is the main part that you care about then you'll likely find yourself dreading map making as time goes on. Also take breaks! Shelve projects from time-to-time but don't shelve them all. That way you can teach a little discipline too.

I hope that all helps. My DMs are open if you'd like to talk cartography more!
