RPG Content Layout Work [in Google Docs]
It feels a little blasphemous to proclaim (as an illustrator) that I’m doing any kind of layout work in Google Docs, but the simple truth is that a) I am and b) it does the job I need done. For free.
Look, I’m not recreating the wheel here. I want the layout work to feel familiar to those who play ttrpgs. There’s a look and feel that have become the standard over the years, and I want to tap into that to make folks comfortable as soon as they see my stuff.
While doing work for IonQuest Games, I do the same thing.
Soon, I’ll be making a series of posts to describe how I do that in order to help folks out. Follow along here if you would like to see what / how I do that.
(Oh, and the above image is just a quick screen grab / rough sample. I usually save my work as PDFs for final products.)
15 minute keanu reeves / john wick sketch

Keanu Reeves / John Wick – in 15 minutes.
I’ve decided I really should do more to work on likenesses, and maybe even some fan art.
That said, I don’t want to do long, in depth, and time consuming versions of these. What’s more, I’ve had some really good results in the past when I did very short portrait work. Five to fifteen minutes seems kinda ideal. It helps me focus on the main aspects of a person’s likeness without getting bogged down into the details.
So what do you think? Who should I do next?
Current Challenge (Mood)

It’s true. We all struggle with “artist’s block”, motivation, etc.
So I figured: Why not turn that into something productive(ish)?
