For rat hole did you draw in white on a black background

I tried this with the scratch paper before and can't make sense of keeping figures clear with so much negative space

No.

I drew it in black ink in an 8x10 notebook (Carlson paper for ink). I used both a dip pen with Hunt 102 (fine) nib and a Japanese brush pen for larger fill.

However, after it was pretty much finished, I went back with a white Jelly Roll pen and fixed some things.

Citing these fancy tools makes it sound like I knew what I was doing. On the contrary, I was just feeling my way through it the whole time and ended up pulling out nearly everything I owned in my art toolbox.

Scritch-scratch-paint/pause over 3 days.

I have never used scratch board to date.

Your getting better!

Did Prince ever get back to you about NAP

Is great to see your style evolve, your ready! Do it
 
Thank you! My problem is I can't commit to a schedule at the moment. My time comes in unreliable spurts. The Roper was a fanatic and loose 30 minutes when I was suppose to be doing drywall! If it was intended to be a legit publication, I would never let it go with so many flaws. It would honestly take me weeks of fussing.

I did it. Gonna see what Prince sends me for guidance.

Here's an absent minded ball-point doodle of some primitive huntress I did yesterday. She's got some very indistinct hands and a tad too much ennui, but I liked the physical "weight" of the posture and load.

He did, and I now have some copies of a couple of the adventures to inspire me & make me feel guilty about not working on.

It's all your fault.
 
I should be working on NAP. Instead, I decided to draw a troll crawling up out of a hole (the perspective needs some improvements).

I picked up a colored pencil at lunch today, hoping to depict two adventurers sized correctly with respect to each other.

I ended up at a cosplay pool party (Adventures Beneath the Playboy Mansion?).

Even after a few years at this, it's still the case that more than half the time I still don't know WTF I'm trying to do.

Thank you! I have a half dozen notions of how I would redo it to add some more oomph. Someday...
 
Your stuff has really shown improvement squeen. A lot of it looks like professional-level stuff at this point. Good job!
 
Everyone has off days. But the fact that you've already made all the stuff you've posted here shows that you have plenty of "on" days too.

Started this one in the airport, waiting for my flight. Paper was too small for fine detail, so I got lazier as it got muddier.
