Den, I have no idea what the roll4it dice rp server really is, but I keep thinking of people roleplaying AS dice every time I see it. It is a hilariously great thought.

I REALLY need to start commissioning art again...

It's a Discord server where there's over 40 individual Tabletop RPG campaigns going on, for a lot of different systems, including D&D 5e, Pathfinder 1e and 2e, Powered By The Apocalypse, and a few freeform RP areas. We also have two West Marches-style areas, one for 5e and one for Pathfinder 1e.

espy likes object heads, i think they've got a good character with one.

[Den]

Yeah... It's been awhile since that one made an appearance, IIRC...

[KittyBeary]

I commission plushes, cosplay items, and almost anything in between. ouo

[Den]

honestly... I still need to finish the one commission and get the remaining one started.

[littl3chocobo]

sell art and rarely i buy it x''D all those physical goods are beyond me

[Den]

anymore, for things like plushies and costumes? If I can't make it or find tutorials on how to make it, I don't need it, for the most part. but for art? there's a crapton of artists who I really love the art style of, and I have artist friends who I want to be able to commission art from as well. Even if I can draw most of the stuff I want to see, myself.

[Mekatra]

That actually sounds really cool, Den! The roleplay server I mean.

I've heard artists say that they wouldn't commission someone else to draw something they can do, but I've heard a lot more say that they like supporting their fellow artists when they are able to do so and they enjoy having things in other styles than their own.

[Den]

Yeah, and there're some things that I struggle with depicting (Robots, animals...), but someone else is almost an Art Deity at those things.

[Mekatra]

There is always going to be someone better than you at something, but for every person that's better there is also someone wishing they were at your level.

[Den]

True. the thing that annoys me is when people are like "I wish I was as talented as you!" I wasn't born with a pencil and sketchbook in my hands. I've been practicing and learning and practicing more since I was 14 (when I really started getting serious about getting better at art).

[Mekatra]

That drives me absolutely nuts! "Oh I could never do something like that." Yeah well once upon a time neither could I. It's called a skill because I honed it, not because I woke up one morning and was magically fantastic at it.

I do WISH I had some talents without the work though, just because I am kinda lazy sometimes. That's why I like commissioning people haha, then I can get what I want with zero effort.
