Join Shell Presto DiBaggio as she draws a half-fairy sorceress in the style of old RPG books like the Dungeons & Dragons manuals, Palladium RPG books, and GURPS manuals.
While I draw, I'll talk about how I originally got into playing D&D, how it was more difficult and mysterious back when the Internet was young, and why you should be the Dungeonmaster if you want to get a game going.
I also talk about wear and tear on inking fineliners, showing depth in medieval settings, and why I didn't use screentones. Plus there's a cool background story on the character I'm depicting, Ruby's, full-fae mother.

Issue No. 0 is also available through the above link for free. It's a quality issue, even though it lacks my awesome RPG-style art.
Like many of Shell Presto's drawings, this has ties back to my work on her books in the Ascension Epoch universe. Learn more about the books I've co-written and illustrated, as well as the Ascension Epoch in general, here:
