Title: Aleena
Post by: bearded on September 15, 2025, 04:15:29 PM
In my random fb I came across Frank Mentzer. He introduced me to Aileen! The original Aleena player. I drew her a portrait and game token for Roll20. I got to DM for her a couple of times!

Edit: The links aren't showing with [img]. Here's the direct links, at the bottom.
We are working on a book together, Aleena Revived. (We might have to change the name, DnD owns Aleena.) For the past five years, I've been an artist. I'm in a few books. When I turned 50, I decided, if someone else could do it, I could do it. I took up drawing, writing, and coding. Art paid off, so I stuck with it. Jobs every week, until just recently, it all dried up. So, unless something juicy comes along, I'm going to get back into my favorite hobby, FF.

 :thumbup: Very nice. I met Frank a few years ago at a convention. Actually got to play in a game he ran. Fun times.

Sorry to hear the art dried up. Looks good to me.

Welcome back to FF though!

I've heard he is a killer DM. Aileen confirms.
Would you like to see more of my work?

I would. I always enjoy seeing people's art. Those that you've already shown are amazing.

What's a good website to upload images to that register here?

I usually default to imgur personally. They do eventually get deleted, but it's usually years later and by that point it's usually moot.

That said... I'm not trying to be pedantic or anything, nor is it worth moving them now that they are here, but please post any further art you have in "Artists Alley", not in "Showing Off". I know my FR customs kind of blurred that line and could (and have) gone in either, but "Showing Off" is supposed to be more of a catch all board for "showing off" collections: Action Figures, Statues, Warhammer minis, whatever.
