Am I the only one left wondering what Butt Lane Pro-Social Behavior looks like?
Try not to wonder about that.

Games give us an excuse to gather, to laugh, to scheme, and to share stories that linger long after the box is put away.
Love that! Thank you!

Art & Digital Drawing Updates
I have been learning how to draw digitally, and it is not as easy as I first thought. Issues I am having with it include the pen having a hard time drawing diagonal lines. It seems to get stuck on something where it goes straight instead of at an angle. I have checked the point, but it seems to be fine.
The other issue is that my hand cramps up a lot. I seem to be pushing down and holding it really hard on the finer details. It is not as easy as pen and paper, but it does save me some time.
So I only got a few pieces of art done for a few missions in Fort Worth. The total list of drawings is insane! But I do enjoy it!
Here are a few examples of images:

Dr. Pepper Mission art

Dr Pepper Award

Famous Saloon Mission Art work.

The Spring Palace Mission Art
Color Theory & Feedback
Now this brings me to my next dilemma. I have been researching color theory because of the feedback I got on the artwork. To help with contrast, I wanted to convey the idea that it is hot, so orange was my go-to choice. Keeping with the monochrome color scheme, I thought it would work. But as I research more, it might be better as something different. I have played with magenta, as well as teal or turquoise. I think it might still be orange, but I also like the teal and magenta look. If you want to provide some feedback, that would be great.






Accomplishments & Wins
As for what I did accomplish, I set up a printer-friendly version. These were added to all the platforms where you can get the game. I think they still keep the look and leave some of the shading to help visually.
I would say my biggest win this week was making the Dr Pepper image for the Dr Pepper mission. That was my favorite thing this week.
Future Plans
Going forward, I am looking down a rabbit hole that I think might work best for what I want to do. My plan was to have Google My Maps link to a Buy Me a Coffee page, but I am not liking that idea. So, I am researching other options, and it is leaning towards a website. So… yeah, that was fun (cue sarcasm).
Since Halloween is tomorrow, I am going to spend the weekend organizing my priorities on what to work on. I need to set up goals and a tracker for this project because it is starting to grow more than I intended.
Project Stats
Also, I wanted to share my current stats with everyone, mainly for those who are thinking of starting something like this:
🍳 RPG Trader - 4 downloads
🍳 Itch - 11 downloads
🍳Drive Thru RPG/ Wargaming Vault - 136
Enjoy your Halloween! I will be playing some games with my family and seeing how far I can get this time on the smash list.
Respectfully,
Larry
Oh yeah, I did manage to paint 2 miniatures. That is a big win too!! I will post those later.
