In December
of 2016, the Dungeon Crawl Classics Fan Tribute Page launched. Back then, I was new to Photoshop and
graphics design; thus, my skills at website UI design were basic, to say the
least. Since then, my skills have
improved somewhat (I am still a novice in this area, though); therefore, I felt
it was time to redesign the DCC Fan Page.
As part of the redesign process, I changed the name of site to ‘Dwarves,
Warriors and Mighty Deeds’; a name I felt better invokes the flavour and flair
of Dungeon Crawl Classics.
Dwarves,
Warriors and Mighty Deeds Logo
I
created the ‘Dwarves, Warriors and Mighty Deeds’ logo digitally; the shape of
the shield itself was created in Adobe Illustrator. The colouring of the shield was done with Adobe Photoshop. After the base colours were applied, I used a drawing tablet and digit
pen to add shading and highlights to the shield, creating a traditional paper
and paint hand coloured look. The sword
and axe behind the shield were drawn and coloured using a drawing tablet and digital
pen. My inspiration for creating the
logo came from European medieval heraldry.
The maple leaf in the centre of the shield represents Canada (I am a
Canadian).
Below
are images of miniatures I painted and I photographed last year. These images appear throughout the website.
Dwarves, Warriors and Mighty Deeds is dedicated to Goodman Games’ Dungeon Crawl Classics
role-playing system. Dungeon Crawl
Classics is a modern role-playing game that captures the ‘old school’ feel of
the early iterations (1970s) of the ‘World’s Most Famous Role-Playing Game’.
