A Call to Adventure: Illustrations for the Upcoming D&D Podcast
Few things bring me more joy than Dungeons and Dragons
Greetings, fellow adventurers,
Amidst the endless flicker of a provocative blank page, trying to finalise my own adventures, I found myself on a beautiful side-quest, which seemed far more alluring than the main objective, as it stands. (I am still very much reeling creatively from a recent iCloud hiccup *grooooan*) This new call was to shape the faces of five unlikely heroes for an upcoming Dungeons and Dragons saga, 'A Call to Adventure.'
With Procreate as my canvas and the Apple Pencil as my brush, I set about it. However, my canvas also had Netflix on it, which is a temptation the old masters never had to deal with—but, admittedly, my motivation proved more elusive than I had envisioned, with each brushstroke echoing the sentiments of a hesitant minstrel, unsure of the tune— see, even my metaphors are getting confused. Am I a minstrel or a painter?
Days folded into weeks, and weeks turned into months as doubt and determination wrestled endlessly, all while that feisty tendency to procrastinate steered my hands. Yet, in the shadow of uncertainty, after chipping away a little bit, day after day— they are finally finished!
So, as 'A Call to Adventure' beckons with promises of epic narratives and uncharted horizons, do keep an eye out for more news! You shall be hearing a lot more about this project in the weeks to come, as I am lucky enough to also be playing this particular campaign— I shall be playing Mort (The fella with the duck).
And the duck, the hat and, indeed, everything will become clear!
Very excited to get started on this particular adventure, and I cannot wait to share our progress!
