What a Day!

The Daily DM • May 10, 2022

So I have been painting and painting and painting on my new ship! It’s coming along very nicely. I’m so excited to eventually showcase it to my players once it is complete. I’m equally hoping that, when the campaign progresses to that point, the Spelljammer stuff has officially premiered. I may just have to wing it.

If you haven’t guessed, I’m referring to the Ingrates campaign. It’s going to be an epic trip through Wildspace.

In any case, here are some pictures of the progress I’ve made:

It’s not even close to being done, so don’t worry about all of that brown. It’ll be epic.

Right now I am working on that stupid filagree. I’ve gotten one side done, as you can see, but I have to finish the other. Blech.

After all of that, I have to do the shader, which I have absolutely NO idea of how I am going to do that on something so large. So much more work to do.

And to make matters worse, with the exception of priming, I haven’t even begun to work on the tree/dock. See what I mean?

That, too, will be epic. Once I’m done. The tree is going to be a different brown than the rest and I have zero clue as to how I will be painting it, other than with a big brush. Why didn’t you all warn me that terrain would be so much work?!

I kid, I kid.

In any case, this is my life until it’s done. I only have the summer to finish both.

Also, I know I haven’t posted any “A DMs Perspective” in awhile. I’ve been so busy it slipped my mind. I’ll get back on that hopefully next week, getting you all caught up on what’s going on with the Ingrates. Keep in mind that with a $5 per month subscription, you get full access to our Premium Content, including a sneak peek at what the Ingrates are up to.

Let me know what you all think in the comment section below!

Until next time, Dear Readers…
