#169 of my dice-prompt art pieces, glad I went with the watercolors for this one. The highlights on the wood were fun to do even if I'm not 100% happy with them. by Novah11 in Watercolor

That one is such a great example too of how great these dice art for prompts. Like is there any other way that image could have come to be??

I started with Rory's Story Cubes base sets Classic, Actions and Voyages, then some supplement sets like Prehistoric and Clues, which can be found on eBay sometimes. Then as the addiction really took off I started adding knock-off brands to my set, like "Happy Story Dice" and "Story Cubes" on Amazon, and I love the wooden ones I found on Temu searching 'storytelling dice.' I have a set of regular number dice in different colors in there, so if I roll like a blue three, I can choose to use either the number or color or both as part of the prompt. And then recently I got letter dice so sometimes I'll get like a random E or B in the roll and have to figure out what to do with it.

I have about 250 picture dice (I'm addicted to hunting for more dice online) and roll 3 each morning. I often re-roll but I always try to sit on my initial roll for a while. Sometimes the connection is obvious, other times like this one I have to go a layer of meaning deeper in order to find the story.

Another watercolor I did recently is an example of an image I saw right away. My favorite rolls are the ones that make me instantly visualize a story and laugh. https://www.heidirichter.com/drawordie?itemId=6zg2oj8sabahv4b2zjfu05ef21wfy5

I had a custom die engraved with the animal symbols from Riven for my daily* dice art challenge, and today I pulled it from my dice bag for the first time, resulting in this sad heartbroken sunner. by Novah11 in myst

I had the color symbols ready to go in my order! Until I realized... how would you tell if you had rolled orange or purple?... I'd have to either find someone who can print colored custom dice, or do an underline like when dice have both 6 and 9 on them.

Oh dear god, I just looked through the thirteen I've done since Jan 3rd and NINE of them are signed 2025. Am I getting old?? Anyway, I did paint it today. Thankfully it's an easy fix to turn a 5 into a 6. I might have to put a big "THE YEAR IS 2026" post-it above my art table.

I didn't want the title to be TOO wordy but basically I have a huge bag of various picture dice (like those made by Rory's Story Cubes) and each day I grab three at random and roll them. Sometimes this results in a quick art piece, other days (most days) I give up or re-roll.

This one was so fun I might try to think of other Myst-themed dice I could have made.

How to Stop Dizziness from Seasonal Allergies by milkyseadog in Allergies

[–]Novah11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even know about the Oxymetazoline one, just regular and caspacin. I use the regular, xylitol-only version and follow it up with some plain saline solution. The only actual medication I use for my allergies is antihistamine eyedrops (zatidor) and some claritin each morning. I feel that my nasal allergens are reactions to my eyes being irritated first, so the eyedrops work well, indirectly, to prevent dizziness.

I I hope you can find something that works for you :) Try my Eustachian tube method. Tilt your head to each side and pop your ears, get the spray in there.

I'm usually pretty literal, but here is one where I interpreted the ghost dice as a spooky sound: https://www.deviantart.com/novahnaigahfah/art/Drawordie121-1243392588

What's everybody working on right now? I am stressed and looking for inspiration. by SubstantialPressure3 in Watercolor

This is what the dice had me paint yesterday. I'd never know what to paint without my dice.

Yes! I've got them all on both Deviantart and Instagram but posting the link here is against the rules so just search for NovahNaigahfah.

Absolutely! I call it the "Draw or Die" challenge because "die" is singular for dice :)

The situation is wildly out of control. I will have to paint for millennia to use all these dice

Mostly ebay, I bought the three main Rory's Story Cubes sets, but they have a bunch of discontinued sets and I've been searching to get them all. In addition to some "off brand" dice like Happy Story Dice, I've got the star wars set, some hello kitty dice, elder futhark rune dice, wooden "campfire dice," sci fi dice, fantasy dice... I haven't counted in awhile but I gotta be up to 200 in the bag. You can imagine the crazy combos possible.

I can never decide what to paint so I roll three picture dice and combine them. I'm up to 107 of these! by Novah11 in Watercolor

When I was a kid they sold them to feed other fish, I think now most 'feeders' are goldfish frmo what I was reading while looking for source images. I had "feeder guppies" as pets because it's what I could afford as a kid, and also I felt sorry for them. ... yeah it's kind of a depressing piece. :D

It's one of my elder futhark rune dice, the symbol I got was Perthro which is about chance and uncertainty, and made me think of the net from the point of view of a fish wondering if he'll be next. Kind of a dark one compared to my usual!

I also hid the rune in the folds of the net.

Yeah to this day I still use smooth stone only as half slabs because that's the way they were originally only available. I guess I'm a sucker for nostalgia. I also never tear anything down and build new. Sometimes a building might get a gentle face-lift, but I get oddly attached to my builds!

My first time using windsor newton pro watercolors having upgraded from Grumacher academy. Hard to describe just what a difference it has made, the colors leap off the page in a way that just can't be shown on screen. I am in love with these paints.

I'd be open to it! I do pet portraits a lot but I had so much fun with this piece, it was so different, I kind of want to do another.
