A seagull presenting an annoying TV documentary on the British seaside in which it discusses lots of boringly obvious things about being a seagull and says "JOIN ME ON MY SEAGULL JOURNEY" a lot.

For those who were curious, here is the reference! Nienna, female elf ranger from Reaper Miniatures.

Certainly for the colors! The pose comes from a different source ;)

Thank you! Yeah good tip, my hexagons can get a bit wonky from time to time :D

Good call! Though sometimes I want to draw them in a sketchbook which makes printing difficult :P

Yes, exactly. When you could do a 5x5ish grid of hexes at once that would work great. Also I wouldn't mind overlaying the actual grid digitally as the final stage, the main thing is that the drawing remains scaled correctly with the grid.

Yes, that's a good tip I picked up from you! Here I did it 50/50, starting with the squares, then turning them into hexes. Gives a lot of smudgy lines you have to clean up afterwards though. Now I was thinking you could design a template in MDF to speed up the process.

"Just keep drawing" is always good advice!

Hielp! What's a sensible way to do a hand drawn hex map?

Quick adventure location. Someone on Reddit built this as a model, I made a drawing of it.

Thank you! They should have paid more attention to John Howe. I do like they designed the winged helmets though.

Thank you! I'm not sure yet what to use them for. Maybe Saga indeed or Middle Earth SBG or Five Leagues from the Borderlands, or all three :P

Thank you! Your army looks real cool though on the great multibases.
