To me different media are very different. I'm no good on the computer, but I'm only marginally better with pencil and paper. And at painting with pastels or water colors I'm pretty decent, but with acrylics or oils I'm not so great.

2. Yes. Very much so. Not just species, entire cultures, storylines, everything. I'm planning on giving quest running a shot again, but in the past dedication has been a problem.

The first question was probably a /draw/ question, but 2 belongs here for sure, and folks here can respond to the first one just fine.

1. They're certainly different, but it's mostly just a a matter of practice and adaptation. Using a tablet requires a somewhat different technique, and you need to take advantage of the things a tablet offers (such as "undo"...). Sometimes using a different model can help: I had an older, smaller tablet I could never do anything on, and getting a better one helped me immensely.

2. Definitely.

1) Yes. On paper I don't have any trouble, but on tablet I keep screwing up the anatomy sizes. He'll for the last two chapters of my quest, I've been using the mouse instead of a tablet and even that is huge improvement.

2) I got plenty of that. My problem is I have no idea how the he'll I'm gonna include them.

I have had this setting brewing in my head for quite a long time now, but unfortunately I don't think I am good at either writing or drawing.

1. I have been working with digital media for so long that I don't even seem to be able to use a pencil properly any more. Lack of layers and an undo button and move tools make me become a quivering wreck that hides under the table until the intention to draw art goes away. Nah, I kid. I don't hide under the table. I just break the most expensive things I can find.

Usually my tablet.

I am not a smart man.

2. Yes. Wait. No. This is why my quests have too much stuff jam packed into them.

1) It's a matter of practice. The level of separation between what you see and what you do is bigger on a tablet. Keep practicing. Also, remember to zoom in to get the lines just right. I think it's easier to get used to the tablet if you start out just tracing lineart you scanned or something. That is what I did.

2) No. I start the quests include them.

everyone has their own unique worlds of fantasy brewing inside of them. sometimes they can make it a quest, sometimes they can't for whatever reason. I myself want to run a quest for instance, but can't because I lack a tablet or a scanner and frankly there's no way I'm drawing an entire quest with a mouse.

1. I'm the other way around. I am a fumbling incompetent with paper and pencil but do pretty okay with the tablet (which has unfortunately passed on).

2. Sometimes.

1: It takes a lot of adjustment to move to a tablet from pencil and paper. Nowadays I prefer my tablet, but I couldn't draw for shit when I first got it. I was better with a mouse just because I was used to using one.

2: Generally Speaking I stuff them into a quest in some manner. Now, actually FINISHING a quest with those species in it is another matter entirely.

1: Yeah. Especially with this tiny tablet. (Though I think everyone other than SDF uses small tablets) But layers, undos, easy edits and colors make up for it.

2: Just pick the one you like the most and run a quest about them, with the rest as background species to maybe meet later. Unless you just don't want to run any quests at all, which is a different and more general issue.

Thanks for the response, on a tablet my lines tend to be extremely unsteady. I'm thinking about running a quest, but I'm worried about my ability to keep it up/the response it will get. I'm also not sure if I should draw the scenes on paper and scan them, or go for low quality art from using a tablet. (A tablet which, I confess, I know nothing about other than it being a wacom graphire4 cte-440)
Would anyone happen to know of any tablet-drawing-friendly paint programs? Right now I use Paint.net

Easiest fix for your boggle: Sai.

If a link to DL it can't be posted by some point tonight I'll upload it (again) for you.

Paint Tool SAI is what you want. Works more like physical media than anything else. Googling that should get you what you want. First result is this: http://sai.detstwo.com/sai/
It looks legit, but I'm not sure if that's a cracked or just the free version.

The official site is:
http://www.systemax.jp/en/sai/
Where there is a trial, and then you can buy it if you like it because it costs about the same as a non-indie game.
