Here's the rub:
Some o...I agree with you Elle. Here's the rub:<br /><br />Some of my motivation to keep them simple has to do with the eye-strain problem I'm currently battling. In the last two weeks I've had to take five days off to rest my eyes. Collectively, the game books I've written, just for the basic rules set, run 75,000 words or 250 pages. <br /><br />Assume I have even a single illustration every three pages or so and it turns into 70+ sets of chitterlings interacting with each other. Each set, at their current level of detail takes me about twenty five minutes. That's a solid week of doing the very thing that stresses my eyes out the most. <br /><br />Being impatient to finish this thing doesn't aid my frustration level. ;-)<br /><br />I could probably use some of the Chitterling drawings I've already rendered, something like ten high detail bugs. I need to figure out what's going on with my eyes though. Relative to the state of my projects, this is really bad timing. :-(Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552087078133360011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460787011325497935.post-66415072984520717542011-09-19T12:11:58.975-06:002011-09-19T12:11:58.975-06:00Why simplify them at all?

I say draw them with as much detail as you would prefer, then reduce them in size via your computer and see how they look. As long as they're high-res (300dpi or greater), then they should be okay...?Elle Phillips Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287347165700778563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460787011325497935.post-42204710378648060882011-09-15T21:57:44.800-06:002011-09-15T21:57:44.800-06:00I like the thought of having them all over the pag...I like the thought of having them all over the pages...C Dubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887237289218565213noreply@blogger.com
