My hand is cramped...

A moment from a D&D session several weeks ago. I started it, got overwhelmed, and took a break. Most of the time when I "take a break" I never get around to finishing it. But this time I did!

It was really refreshing to limit myself to a sketchier style as well as grayscale. I've always felt intimidated and frustrated by shading, but working without colour made it more digestible for my brain. I'm looking forward to trying more things like this (especially since I prefer sketching scenes to reference models).

Wait, you means there's seconds?

Duck racing, Yowah

Yowah is an isolated opal mining town. The duck races raise monies which have funded things like an ambulance for the town, a loading ramp at the airport for the Royal Flying Doctor Service and other social service needs.
