Art Book!

About a month ago I got a new art book off of amazon.com (Another one of my $7 for a $23 book, deals). It is called Fantasy Genesis and looks like this:



It was one of those "Oh my gosh I have to have it!" deals because it's definitely unique compared to other art books. The author took role play and drawing and combined it. So basically you have some different sided dice; 4, 6, 8, 12, and 20 if you want or need. Going off of the charts provided for you in the book, you roll the die or dice it tells you and can either make a creature, humanoid, weapon, or a weird mix of those. Pretty much whatever your looking for as it is set up for a lot of possibilities.
Being a non-human drawer, I stuck with the creatures list. For fun I had played with it several times to see what kind of animal mixes I would get and got crazy things like a squid/scarab with palm leaves (I was including the flora chart for giggles). But in the end for my drawing I sort of cheated and drew this instead:



It's just a Zorse with horns. Didn't feel like doing a serious drawing so it's just a quick sketchiness thing, maybe someday I'll go back and do a nice colored one.

It will be a while before I post anymore art. We have overtime starting at work which means I will probably be working six tens a week for who knows how long. Also I got back into playing Black and White 2 which is like crack to me and I can play for hours at a time. I had been spinning Halloween drawing ideas in my head so maybe if the overtime lets up I can do something like that. Only time can tell :)
