RPG Content Layout Work [in Google Docs]

A Sample of TTRPG Layout Work Done 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.)

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?

Patch battles with low motivation.

It’s true. We all struggle with “artist’s block”, motivation, etc.

So I figured: Why not turn that into something productive(ish)?

If you like this ‘webcomic’, I have some more that you’re welcome to check out here.

Sketchy Stuff from January 2023

Wow. We’re almost to the end of February and I haven’t uploaded my sketch stuff from January yet. Way to stick to that new publishing plan, sir.

And there’s a lot. While January wasn’t super productive in the Finished Art Department, there was a decent amount of sketching. So I think that I will upload it here in a gallery format rather than discuss each sketch. If there’s something you would like to know about a particular sketch, let me know in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer all questions.
