Interested in Roleplaying/Storytelling?
12 years ago
Between the constant stimulus that is My Real Life™ and putting forth a daily effort to learn to draw, I've let slip one of my great passions: roleplay and collaborative storytelling. I'd like to get back into it casually, but there seem to be fewer and fewer parties interested in the activity with each passing day. It's really not that bad, I tell you!
I have a few ideas in mind, but I'd rather facilitate a game for a few other interested parties. If you've ever had interest in trying it out, or have in the past and would like to try roleplaying again, let me know! I'd love to hear what sort of ideas you have, any characters you'd like to develop, and the like. I'd probably run a play through a Google doc (because we live in the future), with the option for players to post at their convenience.
Don't be afraid to ask any questions or assuage any doubts you might have. I'm actually pretty good at running games fairly.

In other news, I've been focusing on anatomy in my drawing recently. Subtlety doesn't seem to be my strong suit, currently. I understand how basic shapes fit together over a skeleton to form the natural contours of the body, but I can't seem to make them look like anything other than curvy robot limbs. Practice, practice, I guess!
I drew some hands today, but if I squint, it kind of looks like I drew a bunch of squids.
If you guys know of any good, simple tutorials for basic anatomy, link me!

About anatomy, how are you learning it? What's your approach?
For anatomy, I've just been following various tutorials that I've found online, taking in a bit of this and a bit of that. I'm still starting with basics and working on things like proportion and order before I leap into portraying realistic musculature. I've been trying to draw from life when I can, but I don't get much opportunity outside of trying to quickly draw people on the subway.

After seeing an Artist I really admire stream I took back up on setting down to study figure drawing, so far I've done skulls: https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd......37695612_n.jpg
It's part of my Hundred A3 Page Art Improvement Plan, if you hit me up later I'll tell you what it entails.
Im intrested in rping and story gaming, tho mostly I use indie tabletop RPGs to play rather than freeform rp, I like a little structure and conflict resolution to my games.
I guess we could try playing a game of some kind over a chat client sometime if your interested.
