This whole drawing is worth it just for the line of his lower lip. That's a good line. It's just the right thickness at the bottom, with just the right amount of tapering as it goes up into the light, and just the right distance from the mustache before it fades off to white. That one line is a thousand times better than the entirety of that djinn drawing from yesterday.
Yes, this is the kind of thing I look at in my own work. Sometimes just that one line can make it all worthwhile.

This is a terrible drawing. Crappy craptacular crapitosis. Blerg. I blame the dog crapping in the house, it set the tone for the day. Also the moon was in my eyes. But, you can't only post the good stuff if you're trying to be honest, which I am. Some days it just doesn't come together.

In light of the comments about the intrepid adventurer in the Fabled Lands, I was curious about how you go about naming things in your RPGs -- your character, NPCs if you're a GM, place names, mounts, spells, whatever, how do you go about choosing a name that sounds good and is genre appropriate without sounding totally lame?
Also, were there names you came up with that you have a real fondness for? Do you tend to use the same name in multiple RPGs?

The voting was super close, but by a slim margin the warrior Nakir Death-Angel has won out over Shen Dark-eyes the rogue as our intrepid committee-led adventurer in the Fabled Lands. If he should come to an untimely demise (which, from my limited testing, is a distinct possibility), we'll try again with Shen. For now, onward to adventure!

If you have a question about HeroMachine, or art, or comics, or why we park on a driveway but drive on a parkway (apologies to Steven Wright), feel free to ask in the comments and I won't judge you.
On the other hand, if you have a piece of art, either from the HeroMachine or that you've done by hand, you can request a critique from me and the community at large in the comments, and we will judge that! Just a couple of things to keep in mind:
Finally, Hammerknight has managed to shake loose some time and sent in this excellent recipe for how to handle shading with HeroMachine. Many thanks to him!
