oil based colored pencils? Huh. Thats neat. the results look cool.

how do you like them or how do they handle for you compared to say, regular colored pencils?

They're smoother than normal colored pencils, so you don't have to press too hard for coverage. They also seem to blend much more easily than the standard lot.

Hm... oil-based, eh?  What brand do you prefer?  I may give them a try.

Walnut Hollow pencils. They're mainly sold to the woodcrafting market, so don't expect them to be sitting next to Prismas (though there's a rare chance they might).

Thankfully my local hobby shop has a woodcrafting section.  Do they come in a large color selection?  Are they as bloody expensive as Prismas?

Where I got them (Michael's), they were only $15 or so for a pack of 24 colors. Sadly, that pack is the only one I saw, so I'm not sure if there's a wider selection than that.

Anyway, the next drawing I'm considering is a visual timeline of sorts of Sparkvernian troops, as part of how Sparkvernia is a standalone entity nowadays.

Sorta like this:

Just dropping off a doodle and an excerpt. Nothing more, nothing less.




"The Sparkvernian Liberation Front was an underground revolutionary group that was founded in 1942 by Sparkvernian social democrat Gustav Kamkov. The SLF was among the first political factions to rise up against the absolute Czarist regime."


Czar would be age 49 around that time.
