Quip and Quill Podcast Deven Rue, professional fantasy cartographer & world builder

Crowdfunding is such a huge part of getting products out to people in the ttrpg space and its important to listen to the experiences of others to help you run your own or improve upon projects you're planning. Eren Angiolini, best known for the fanart series "What-if Critical Role" as well as for coloring several of comics such as Justice League and Doctor Who, was kind enough to chat with me about their artistic journey as well as their experience with crowdfunding their own project the Arcane Compendium of Characters. Lots of great advice and insight as well as talking about how they became a colourist and what tools they use to create their art.

In this episode we talk about how to keep going to spite your trolls, fighting the negativity of your own brain, Legendkeeper, gaming, and loving the drama trauma that is ttrpgs!

Some days you just need to have a total bitchfest and that's exactly what this is! Join Caio Santos (BlackSalander) as we laugh about the drama, the bullshit, and the mean things people say in the art & ttrpg space. Caio has worked with several people in the community but is best known for their work with Critical Role.

Defining "successful" isn't just working with well-known brands or companies, sometimes it's just finding a way to pay your bills without them! That's exactly what illustrator Hailiiz on Twitter does! Have a listen while we talk about pricing, working with patrons & clients, playing D&D (of course), and contracts!
