Monstrous
Added 2022-08-15 17:36:11 +0000 UTCI was thinking about how one of my childhood dreams was to do art for the old Dungeons and Dragons books, and how disappointed I was that it never worked out. Then it occurred to me that there really wasn't anything stopping me from drawing what I wanted anyway, so I pulled down the old Monster Manual and turned to the first entry...

Oh, yeah, that one! Thanks!

2022-08-18 20:25:30 +0000 UTCI think it was the rulebook cover - a female fighter in the same kind of pose, and a big lizard man grabbing and biting her shield. I remember it because the woman's helmet was the biggest piece of clothing she had on ... 😁

2022-08-18 09:09:31 +0000 UTCThis is awesome! *Way* back in the day I was the proud owner of the original Greyhawk supplement, yellowing paper cover full of pages folded in half and stapled down the middle, with "Illustrations" by Kevin Siembieda... ...I gotta say, you've got Kevin *beat* six ways to Sunday! :D

2022-08-18 02:22:17 +0000 UTCYeah. That's the root of why I draw all the time. Those old D&D modules.

2022-08-18 00:22:57 +0000 UTCWhich one? My group never got into Runequest, so I missed most of the art for that one back in the day.
Andrew Hunter
2022-08-17 23:10:02 +0000 UTCYeah, it was fun. I'll prolly do some more.
Andrew Hunter
2022-08-17 23:09:14 +0000 UTCYep!
Andrew Hunter
2022-08-17 23:08:52 +0000 UTCYeah, I think mainstream D&D moved on to a new audience, which is cool, but there are still plenty of us old-school dungeon-crawlers out there. 8) I could really see your style fitting in beautifully in one of the old modules or sourcebooks.

2022-08-17 23:06:40 +0000 UTCNot sure I'll make it through all 200 monsters, but it's fun trying.

2022-08-17 23:06:31 +0000 UTCOops! I sketched that one too, but you'll have to wait until the monthly sketchbook scans to see that one.

2022-08-15 22:31:06 +0000 UTCOoooh! I hope there are more of these to come!

2022-08-15 19:51:53 +0000 UTCNice! That’s why I draw for threshold. So I can get that drawing-for-dnd itch scratched.

2022-08-15 19:18:54 +0000 UTCI really like this
no
2022-08-15 19:02:54 +0000 UTCIt is D+D but for me it is also Barsoom! :)

2022-08-15 18:28:57 +0000 UTCActually the 2nd one, but the 1st one with a picture. The 1st entry was the Aerial Servant. :-)
