one last thing that i had time to draw in juneau! now i'm a small nerd in a big city so who knows how long it'll be till i get another video up, but that's nothing new. if u want art 2 tide u over u can always follow me on twit or tumblr @asaethiel :~)
these guys - our DM, but also kind of whoever writes campaign books, and also i guess idris elba belongs to himself?
drawing program - paint tool SAI
recording/editing - hypercam, windows movie maker
songs - the beers by the front bottoms (usually i try and pick a recent addition to my music library that's thematically appropriate but i've been listening to nothing but rose buddies for the last week)
time - 1hr
tumblr - asaethiel.tumblr.com/post/1643...

the fact that one of your npcs is named lord commander idris elba is like, peak dnd

[@asaethiel7023]

Kipland Parker hooooo boy our npcs are the wackiest cast, there's a guy that always talks abt himself in third person and uses his full lordly title each time, theres a collection of village elders with rhyming and kinda interchangeable names, etc.. it's great :')

Asaethiel thats awesome i love it!!! im planning a campaign for my 10 y/o brother and im suddenly realizing i have no idea what to do for npcs lol

Every month or two I rewatch this speedpaint, and damn!! I love it so much your art and shading is amazing! And thanks to you I discovered the front bottoms :,) tysm

I'm just in in love with those freckles, man. Also I'm really liking that practical costume design. SOOOOOOO cool, but you can still, like, tell how they put it on in the morning and stuff; nothing fails to suspend my disbelief more than a costume that looks like a solid jumpsuit with no zipper.

[@asaethiel7023]

ayyy thank you!! that means a lot, costume design (esp details) isn't my strongest area and i'm rlly trying to get more creative with it! and me too re:freckles, my character has a Very Large crush on savra and tbh i do too

[@odeliafrancescaroav9808]

Assuming you're going to continue to do more fantasy stuff, the two things you need to learn the most are how a knight/soldier puts on their armour (if they can't put it on or take it off then it's not practical; i.e., it's not suited for war) and how a corset works (corsets are actually surprisingly complicated in their design, they have to be built a certain way or else they'll be uncomfortable and break easily; i.e., not something you want in everyday clothing). Understanding those two things are pretty much the most important building blocks you'll need. Every thing else after that is whatever you want it to be.

[@odeliafrancescaroav9808]

Also I'm sorry for spamming you but I also am learning about costume design right now and for some reason feel compelled to share with you. Don't forget the shoes! When designing a costume keep the shoes in mind, because well designed shoes can make or break a costume design

[@odeliafrancescaroav9808]

Also also I know nearly nothing about Savra and I'm a straight female and I think I have a crush on her too

[@asaethiel7023]
