Thanks, SR. You should definitely try some fan art. Would love to see it. I had the same sorta story as you. Used to draw D&D portraits/characters for my friends a loooooong time ago, but nothing really in years. I'm definitely not a professional illustrator, though. I'm in the art field, but more along the lines of product design and production (so, not very creative most times). It really just got to the point that I needed a creative outlet, so started doing these in my spare time. Anyway, rambling...
