HeroForged Corridor Classes: Craft

 

HeroForged Corridor Classes: Warriors

 HeroForge has gotten better by massive leaps and bounds since I made this post five years ago. With color, textures, more props, and especially poses, I was able to remake all of my original Corridor classes that I made eight years ago. It's a great tool for D&D, and it's been fun to use to remake a lot of stuff like this.

Corridor Class Pictures Set #5

 Is six years too long of a break from these? :D Since HeroForge updated to implement coloration, I've been messing around with it in my free time, and in doing so I decided to remake all these Corridor classes in a much better form. However, I realized that in order to do that, I needed to actually finish the final three classes first. So I did. And here they are. Many years later.

Also, after all these years and all the hours coloring Knight Guy by hand, I finally figured out how to use the Threshold adjustment to cut down coloring time! That makes me kind of angry, but maybe it'll be a factor in returning to drawing my beloved webcomic. Who knows? It was indeed really fun to come back to graphic art after this long break.

Inktober 2020 Entries!

Inktober was a ton of fun, even though I ended up getting behind and only finishing today. I'm definitely going to make this a yearly tradition. This month gave me the chance to get out of my comfort zone, learn some figure drawing, draw several things I've never drawn before in my life, and practice techniques like varying line width. These all look like perfect candidates for drawings that I can color digitally later, so stay tuned for that, maybe as a month project in six months or something.

Without further ado, here are all the drawings from Inktober 2020 along with their prompts! Also, you can mouse over each drawing to get some commentary on them.

D&D: Better Infernal War Machine Tokens for Roll20

UPDATE: I'm remastering these older versions into higher-quality ones. Get the new Devil's Ride for free!

I'm running the Descent into Avernus campaign for some of my friends right now, and tomorrow they're going to find out what infernal war machines are for the first time. The module on Roll20 comes with some default tokens for the war machines, but quite frankly, they're lazy trash. They just cut out the sketches from the book and put them on blank red backgrounds, and they just look bad.

I decided I don't want to go with these for the whole campaign, so I made my own versions of each vehicle using Dungeondraft. I even included identifiable station markers (the platform with the circle inside a square) so that the players can place their tokens there when manning them. These are PNG images that can easily be imported into Roll20 and fit perfectly to the grid, so feel free to download them and use them in your own campaign, Descent to Avernus or any other with a Mad Max: Fury Road chase in it!

Inktober 2020 Begins!

This year I'm going to participate in Inktober, the worldwide challenge to make a drawing for each day in October. Some people do color or digital drawings, but I'm going to stick with the traditional approach of inking, partially because I need practice with inking drawings, partially because I really need practice with sketching drawings before inking them. So I have a fine-tip marker, 07 and 05 G2 pens, a pencil, an eraser, and a new sketchpad ready to go.

For the past several... years, I guess, I've been putting off drawing, which has been taxing on my soul. I love doodling, but you have to be in a very specific environment to doodle without drawing garbage, and I haven't been in such an environment—sitting in a classroom during a lecture—for a long time. And I miss it. So this is a great chance to reignite my passion of drawing, maybe learn some new techniques, and possibly find new chances to draw in the future.

My siblings and even daughter are even joining me, so I'm excited to get into this mode.

Let Inktober begin!

1d100 Curses for Magic Items

A great way to throw players off is with cursed magic items. Simply take a regular magic item (which identifies as such), roll on this table, and add the accompanying curse to the item. Unless explained otherwise, these curses only affect the character or item when the character is attuned to it. The curse may linger after the character breaks their attunement to the item, which a remove curse or greater restoration spell can fix. At your discretion, these effects may also only happen if the character uses a cursed weapon and rolls a natural 1 with an attack with it, expends its charges, or other triggers.
