We\u2019ve all been there: stressed out, broken, ready to scream into the void. Sometimes, you just need a break. So here\u2019s the deal: today, we\u2019re going full-on Druid mode. Or at least pretending to. Because, honestly, the world sucks, and sometimes you need a bit of magic and nature to just breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How I came to this idea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks ago I was drawing a druid in my old sketchbook. Prompted by Paintable’s one week character<\/a> (although I was doing it months later),It was just a small silly sketch and I liked it, but didn’t really feel the need\/urge to finish it or do more with it. It remains an unfinished idea in my notebook… Until today. I thought what would it be to be a “modern druid<\/em>“?<\/s> I take this back and edit my post because I am sick of pretending everything is alright. The world is too much and let’s just pretend to be Druids, ok?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also made this sketch available for free use without copyright at Wikimedia Commons<\/a>. Maybe one day I will scan it and make it available properly. Bare with me, I can barely exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disclosure: I am mostly thinking about the D&D druid class<\/a>, and not the Celtic religious leader kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
