Hello to thee, my name is Il Tode (Araden is my IRC nickname). In this section of my web page I'll tell you more of my self, if you wanted to know more.
My stuff is Middle Ages - but I've got less serious pastimes too, not to mention surfing the Internet:

I'm an amateur at drawing. I favour fantasy subjects, but every now and then I try my hand at caricatures of my hapless friends. I paint and make dioramas and models too, mainly fantasy and sci-fi. Gross people claim I toy with tin soldiers.
My present style is somewhat stylized and comic-like. I know the fundamentals of painting and colour drawing too.
I followed some painting stages, at some point of my life. I learned something about carving and printing. I followed a journalism and comics stage too. I had some teachers, such as Sergio Angeletti (aka Angese) and Nobel Prize Dario Fo's son, Jacopo Fo.
Some of my drawings. More on the Italian Site.

I spend some time playing RPGs and 3D Wargames (you know, those played on a table, rolling dices and moving models... No, NOT tin soldiers!).
I started with the grandpaw of all Fantasy RPGs, ye olde Dungeons & Dragons, back in the... 198? Nay... I can't even recall the exact year. Not too long ago, I tried some Warhammer 40K, an English wargame.
Sometimes I played, sometimes (most of the time, to be true), I wrote new rules. I'm not joking when I say I know more the theory than the pratice. Indeed, I had some writings published on Kaos, an Italian monthly magazine.
