I need to do more art. I need to do art more regularly. Speed-painting and speed-sketching is fast and like stretching for artists. As such, I've decided to try to build a new art habit. While some people read as a way of cooling down before bed, I will do one-hour art pieces most nights before going to bed.

I have created a nice little chart -- modeled on the Dungeons and Dragons treasure chart -- to randomize the style, content, and so on. For anyone who is a massive nerd like me, below is my chart, complete with percentages. Two D10s are required. If you lack D10s, you are not nerdly enough for my chart of awesomeness.

All results of the One-hour Art experiment will be posted in scraps and will be titled "One-Hour Art: (Date)". Most results will be cross-posted to DA; humans will only be posted on DA and anthros will only be posted on FA.
