Deer Spirits!

This is a doodle I did this morning of a male version of my Seeker from PHB3 Gameday on Saturday.

This doodle is complete with one of the deer spirits that bursts from his arrows. :P

Which Character?

I've had a few different ideas for what kind of character I want to play for this weekend's D&D game, most of the ideas coming from Player's Handbook 3.

The first one is one I've already mentioned, the Druid/Shaman hybrid. The concept is that I want to be a bear that can summon a bear. The only foreseeable problem is that I might not be able to control the Spirit Companion bear without coming out of wildshape to use my implement, that's not a big deal though, considering I can just use a minor action to change back before controlling my bear buddy. I've already taken the feat that allows me to summon bear buddy as a free action.


The second idea comes largely from the character I got to play at Player's Handbook 3 Gameday on Saturday. This Character, however would be Handaxe-Throwing Spiritbond Seeker instead of a Bloodbond Seeker. Can't wait!

What do you think? Which character should I choose?

Bears!

I was experimenting with the Hybrid options in D&D Player's Handbook 3, and I had a wicked idea. The Druid/Shaman class.

Think about it! You could wildshape into a bear, and then summon a bear spirit companion! Holy Awesome! There'd be bears all over the place!

The Wilden, PH3 Race

I'm intrigued by the new player character race in the Player's Handbook 3 of Dungeons and Dragons. The Wilden are like nature's answer to all the evil in the D&D world: Plant-people.

One of the suggested classes is obviously a druid, but they don't suggest a Warden, which I just think is perfect, especially if you pick the Form of the Willow Sentinel as your daily power. "Let's attack that living tree!" and then "Gah! It's an even bigger living tree!" All in all, I think the Warden and Wilden characteristics lend themselves nicely to each other, the only problem occurring with redundancy.

I hope you enjoy the picture of my Wilden Warden!

Rock and Gnoll!

I finally got all of my art software reloaded, so it's time to Rock and Gnoll!

The Day My Computer Died

Yesterday I had an experience that really stressed me out. My computer died.

I recovered it, so know it runs like brand new, the only downside is that I lost a great many things that I hadn't backed up on my external hard-drive.

All I can say is that Norton Anti Virus is like having a security blanket when you jump out of a plane. You feel safe right until you realize that it's not going to help you at all. And then you die.

It might be a couple days before I post anything illustration wise, considering I have to reload all of my art software, I'm really hoping I don't run into any problems there.

Warforged Portrait

I was making a character sheet for a Warforged Fighter using the DDI character builder demo. I was sad that there weren't any stock Warforged pictures to use as a portrait on the sheet.

Then I thought, "Hey! I'm an Illustrator, why don't I draw one?"

So, I did. You are welcome to use it! Just save this image to your "ddi" picture folder, and choose it in your options.

I love warforged characters, I wish that they were featured in Player's Handbook 2 instead of Dragon Magazine that I can't afford to subscribe to. Here's hoping for PHB 3!
