> For a moment there, I thought it meant I had to make an entire zine. (Whoof. Sigh of relief)
Well, now you have to make a whole Zine since you brought it up. Sorry I don't make the rules!
Ah I get your frustration. Have you thought about looking for Open Domain art that might work? It's what I did for The Thirteenth Damned Son. I can point you towards some things.
I wish I could help with suggestions, besides use heavy Ink lines, good lighting, and no flash; and up the contrast when you have it on your image editor, it should make it easier to take and edit in a program like Gimp.
Honestly I second this Nell, a simple Artifact can be made in an afternoon. I'd be more than happy to help. I've always been better at collaborating with others to help them than finishing my own projects, and since I've at least got something out (which people have been very kind about.) I've got room to help out :)
That's what I've started to do, so many half-finished Evernote projects that I increasingly got intimidated by because I've no idea how to do layouts, or draw, or edit haha. I've got just enough to submit to a Jam now. I think that's my start, I'm hoping to maybe do a couple more Folklore monsters and creatures and maybe I can successfully cobble them together into a little booklet :)
I put all my energy into today to put something together to at least qualify the for this Game Jam, but I'm my own worst enemy. I tend to have troubles completing any of my projects ever.
You all seem to be able to just churn out material like it's a side-effect of your breathing.
Tell me your dark secrets, who do I have to sacrifice to be like you?
