    Hey rossik,

    Yeah, I was hoping people could tell that the bulette was jumping up and down out of the ground, like a dolphin. He may be "hopping" into that purple worm's mouth if the adventurers can close that portable hole fast enough. Wink

    The portable hold is going into the purple worm's mouth too at any rate. I wonder how long it will hold up to the purple worm's stomach acid before it dissolves away...

    Now you see, Glad27 could create his own coloring book filled with OGL critters and D&D characters if he wanted too. Cool

    Hey, at least my doodle is creating some conversation...I don't guess an artist can ask for much more than that.

    This drawing was a bit tough in the sense that I knew without words, it was going to be hard to convey what I was trying get across in the drawing.

    The party is actually jumping into a portable hole (the black oval that they're jumping into...that's not an opening that the purple worm is making...although he his real close to the surface of the plains) and depending on how you interpret the magic item, the characters are actually jumping into an extradimensional 10' deep space. I drew it to suggest that if they can get it completely shut before the bulette gets to them, then they technically don't exist there at the point where the bulette will jump into the earth, but instead would wind up in the purple worm's maw.

    Now, if the bulette can get to them before they can shut the portable hole up, then that's a whole different ballgame. At that point, I'd think the bulette would be partially in the PH and partially out (hindlegs kicking in the air) and then the purple worm could come up and technically eat both the party that's in the partially closed PH AND the bulette.

    Although, the purple worm would probably have serious indigestion due to the portable hole, not to mention a thrashing P.O.'d bulette.

    But that's just my interpretation. And I plan on putting some more art up as soon as I can find the time to do some more personal stuff. I've been pretty busy with actual art work for publishers lately, which isn't a bad thing, but it's kept me from doing as much of my own art as I'd like to be doing.

    *And thanks, Mystic-Scholar, for the vote of confidence, if I ever get a wild hair and decide to do a coloring book, you'll be the first to know. Wink

    I think it might actually work... if the party can get into the portable hole and close it from the inside the buellete would ram right into the ground where they had just been. Up comes the worm and swallows the landshark. Hopefully the party will have enough air in the hole so that when they run out of fresh air and open the hole back up the coast is clear.

    As a DM I think I'd allow my characters to pull it off with a couple of dexterity checks and good roleplaying but then, being the sadistic bastard I am, I'd punish them a bit for getting away from my monster Evil Grin perhaps when they reopen the hole they find themselves suspended in mid-air over the middle of a purple worm tunnel that falls vertically for a hundred feet before leveling out. Will they be able to jump safely to the edge? - none of the three of them look like they would make good long jumpers Laughing


    One of the things I liked about the first edition books was the black and white art... many was the player that used their own Monster Manual or Deities & Demigods as a coloring book.

    i would buy too, Glad, so you better think on a cheap way to send to brazil! Laughing

    i must confess that i got the hopping bullete and the portable hole the firts time.

    the thing i didnt get right away was the purple worm.
    dont know it seemed too "blend" to the earth, maybe because of the color

    still, is a awesome work, and i hope to see more!

    any chance of doing a interpretation of robilar? (im a big fan)

    Thanks, rossik.

    Yeah, by the time I used the space I needed for the "above ground" action, I didn't leave a ton of space for the purple worm, which is my bad.

    And I'm not gonna lie...I don't know what a robilar is. Shocked

    Yeah, that's what threw me too, rossik. Perhaps if the PW wasn't quite so close as to be almost breaking the surface of the ground, that might help better differentiate it from the PH???

    You just had to do a female dwarf, didn't you. Laughing

    And you have the elf's arrow on the bow properly and he is holding the string correctly too! The devil is in the details. Cool

    That's my first ever drawn female dwarf...but I think she turned out cute...well, as far as short, squat, hairy chinned females go. Wink

    But what are the adventurers saying/thinking...

    Cleric of Heironeous: "SHAZAM!"(accompanied by the sound of thunder of course)

    Female Dwarf: "Look at the symbol of Moradin! LOOK AT IT!"

    Elf(thought bubble): "Of course, a lich giant. Guess I'll have to prove how utterly fantastic I am by shooting something other than an eyeball for a change."

    Barbarian(thought bubble): "Dagnabit! There they go again, making the stuff I want to chop with my sword run away."

    Wink

    1979 Coloring Book

    Hi all -
    Because I don't visit the 2e forums much, I miss this stuff. I just happened to see my e-Friend Mystic-Scholar had made a recent post and thought I'd check it out.
    But when I saw those first three pictures in your first post, I immediately thought of the Troubadour Presses 1979 Coloring Book. I read a few other posts that said almost the same thing. But this Lich King picture is a clear example of what the original coloring book was all about. Sure it was also an adventure, but just by looking at these pictures, you could write the adventure that goes along with them.
    I had a player that drew like this - I have literally a "poster" that is seven 8.5" x 11" pages wide by five 8.5" x 11" pages long as a dungeon poster done in the original coloring book center page style. Unfortunately it is so big that I can't get it laminated (because I taped it all together and at one time had it on the wall - but now even with my own small library/game room I can't fit it on the wall or ceiling).
    I would love to see even an unofficial coloring book put together of your artwork. With Mort's knowledge and weekly ability to come up with great WoG Comic stories I think he would be an awesome collaborator. Shyt, even Grodog or Rasgon would be ideal for getting you to draw in some well visualized (but hidden from most of us that only know GH half as well as them) GH concepts.
    Hell, even add in a (few) GH iconic character(s) vs. classic 1e/2e monsters such as Beholders/Mind Flayers or a few other MM1 or Fiend Folio baddies and submit them for the Oerth Journal (although I know Rick's been out of it a bit).
    How awesome would it be too see an early Mordikanien (maybe when he still had hair?) vs. those in the Fantastic Adventure? Or what about the Ghost Tower?
    Without a doubt, I have to say that these pictures are some of the best that I've seen, by fans. These are well enough that posting this type of work on larger forums like EN World would/could garner a few paychecks. Two works of art that I had commissioned for GreyhawkOnline.com were done by VShane around 2002/3 and they cost me $25 each (http://www.greyhawkonline.com/artwork). If I had a job, I'd be willing to have you draw a few pictures for me.
    With that said, I'd also be willing to host any pictures you'd like on GreyhawkOnline.com.

    Awesome work. I will be following this thread much more closely, especially as I've now removed a Darth Vader picture from my smaller second monitor and put the Frost Giant Lich as it's background. I want to see more. More, More, MORE!
    Be Well. Be Well Drawn.
    Theocrat Issak

    (Edit) P.S. I'd like to see these in higher quality, larger size for wall papering so that I don't have to yank them from the posts and hope they'll fit my screen size (Frost Giant Lich does, but a few others don't quite fit right). Be Well. Be Well Sized. Theocrat Issak

    Mordenkainen still has hair. He just shaves his head for some unknown reason. Question

    Yeah, well ... maybe he just thinks that a bald head, VanDyke beard and a moustache with with waxed curls was a really cool look! Yeah! And he doesn't care if his Mom doesn't like it, and you're not very nice for saying .... Shocked
    Embarassed Um, hang on a sec. N-nevermind. I just, um, was guessing ... and stuff. There's no personal issues here, at all. Wink

    I read over at DF that he was done, but the formatting and editing is just extremely difficult because Len created so much, 100s of pages. Lot of volunteers trying hard though.

    Im very glad to see the quality art that will go with it. With some GH text, I'd too buy a coloring book.

    L4 is hundreds of pages long?! Shocked That really makes me wonder what is in it, but I am content to wait and be surprised by the finished product. Cool

    Thanks for the kind words, fellas!

    While I only had dealings, with regards to the L4 module, with doing the cover art for it, from what I gather, the module will be released sometime this fall and is around 96 or so pages.

    And yeah, I think the module has been completed (as far as Len Lakofka writing it is concerned) for quite some time. The delay has come from the numerous editors/proofreaders who have started the project only to leave (for various reasons) the module to the "next guy." I think it finally landed into someone's hands over at DF that actually is seeing it through.

    So, in short, the wait shouldn't be too much longer for L4: Devilspawn.

    You can't go wrong with art based on the seemingly inevitable low-level stirge encounter. Happy

    I'd even go so far to say that there is a marked level of improvement in this one. There's a lot of great character in the details, and it is my favorite of the bunch by far. Makes me want to write up an encounter for it right now. Very nice. Cool

    Glad your art as always makes me feel happily nostalgic. Those stirges even have personality! My favorite part of the illo is the guy biting the stirge probiscis. Brilliant!

    Your artwork is awesome Glad. You've captured that old style, but your level of detail is fantastic. The frosty breath of the Halfling and Dwarf on the cover of L-4, genius!

    Heh. "Bite the stirge." That almost sounds like an insult. I can just see a New York cabbie leaning out his window and shouting to somebody who forgot to tip, "Hey, buddy! Bite the stirge!"

    Or an insulted high school girl, "Bite the stirge, dork. Of course I won't go out with you."

    Heh. Or maybe I just have too much time on my hands... Wink

    You will be happy to know my wife apparently read this. This morning I said something she didn't like, and without a moment's hesitation she replied, "Bite the stirge, baby!" By this afternoon my kids were saying it.

    I'm glad I could help inspire a new "saying." I like it. Now, if you put this on a t-shirt and sell em' at RPG conventions and it takes off like hotcakes, just remember a starving artist, OK? Wink

    And thanks for the kind words, everyone...it's much appreciated.

    I should have another b&w drawing up, hopefully, by the end of this week. I've started on a new drawing that was inspired by a classic module.

    I'll post it as soon as it's done. Cheers.

    Yeah, I tried, rossik. (This was the only site that I posted the pic at where I didn't reveal the module this is from in the title of the pic.) Hopefully somebody else can guess where it's from.

    And to answer your question, rossik...I've played D&D so many times through the years (although, sadly, not much anymore) that I'm sure I draw inspiration from a bunch of characters I've made up over the years. And that's a good point.....no cleric. At least not in the pic. Perhaps, since they're right at the entrance of the "tomb" Wink, the cleric could still be just outside.

    Ding, ding, ding, ding....Tomb of Horrors it is.

    I tried to capture a party that's just broke through the vines, and overhanging vegetation to reveal the actual corridor that leads into the tomb. I remember looking at the original module with it's illustration booklet back in the day and remembered how that illustration with the painted hallway with the curious brass box sticking out from it always peaked my interest.

    I tried to stay true to the original Sutherland illustration of the corridor.

    *Thanks for the kind words....I'm glad you guys are diggin' it.

    I'm part of a trio of fantasy artists over at threeheadedtroll.com. My gallery is so outdated, and I'm pretty embarrassed by the art I have posted in it that I don't advertise about it much anymore. Unfortunately, I'm computer illiterate and I got tired of asking my buddy to post my new artwork up in my gallery, so now I just post my new stuff at the various sites. If somebody sees my art and I get work from it....cool. If not, then I still enjoy drawing and hope some people get a little enjoyment out of it, as well.

    These are the original Trampier (not Sutherland as I originally stated...my bad) illustrations that came with the ToH's illustration booklet that I based my drawing on...





    Another poster at another site stated it looked like the face from the demon statue on the PHB too. Trampier did paint the original PHB, so maybe he liked the image so much that he (in a round about way) included it on the wall mural of Acererak's tomb.

    Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words.

    I'm still learning the ropes with all of this acrylic painting stuff, but it's a fun learning process. I'm getting ready to tackle my biggest artistic endeavor ever with a 15" x 20" painting dealing with a party going up against some gnolls and an ogre in a ruins setting. If it turns out halfway decent, I'll post it when it's done.

    *rossik....the module is called "Red Tam's Bones" and will eventually be available over at DF.

    Gla"roomd's newest offering - a *big* painting

    Glad ... as always, it looks great!
    I am always glad to see our local folks doing stuff that makes Canonfire look even better. This one looks a little bigger than some of your previous work. Is it on a different sized stock, or is it just that the number of subjects and the in-frame space comprises a larger area (i.e., a larger "room")?

    Can't wait to see it when the paint starts hitting the canvas. Smile

    Love the latest stuff, but you should shorten the length of your arrows by about 25%. When drawn to the cheek, the arrow head will only extend outwards an inch or two from the end of the bow. The archer in the painting is basically firing a javelin-sized arrow. Also, when arrows sink into targets they tend to really sink in quite deep, or even go through the target unless they hit something solid dead square. Watch a few deer hunting programs and you will see arrows fly completely through the deer's rib cage. Sounds crazy, but its true. Armor will slow penetration, and if the target has back armor it may even stop the arrow at that point, leaving the arrow embedded into the target as much as it can without exiting. I recommend shortening the shaft visible on the arrow stuck in the gnoll in the sketch by half.

    Also, that sketch should make for an awesome painting. Cool

    Thanks, fellas...much appreciated.

    Icarus: Yeah, this one is bigger than most of my others that I do and it's definitely the biggest painting I've tackled thus far. The bugbear painting I posted prior to this sketch was 10"x 13" and this one will be 15"x 20". I do all of my paintings on heavyweight vellum illustration board. I knew I wanted to do a big battle scene, so I went with the bigger board for this one. I just hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew! Laughing

    Cebrion: I appreciate the suggestion on the arrow. The measurement from the elf's cheek to where the arrow tip would stick beyond the bow at full draw is right at 3" (on the drawing itself) compared to the measurement of the cock-end of the arrow to where it's touching the breast plate of the gnoll (about 2") is about an inch in length difference.

    I figure an elf's longbow using a bone-tipped arrow doesn't have quite the penetrating power when going through a metal breast plate compared to those hunting shows where the hunters are using compound bows with razord-tipped arrows through non-armor wearing deer.

    Arrow size

    All very, very true about the arrows and whatnot.

    But ... Ceb, can you be certain that the arrow hitting the gnoll hasn't just barely hit and is only just penetrating? I know the gnolls already falling, but, it's the artist's rendition, and all.

    Also, I am not certain that I see a javelin-sized arrow anywhere? Are you extrapolating from how deep you assume the arrow is in the gnolls chest, or are you accidentally seeing the thng in the man's hand as extending from the bow, and looking like an arrow?

    Perception changes Point of View, I suppose. :)

    Like so many problems, this can be cleared up with a little inside knowledge. You see, the archer in question is using a bow he picked up among the Wolf Nomads. It is intended for mounted use, however, it was made for a nomad who is especially tall for his race. Thus, the bow is shorter than a longbow but still quite long for a shortbow. The arrows, on the other hand, were "acquired" from a gnoll archer who was killed three encounters prior to the one depicted. That archer was likewise taller than average for his race, and was using arrows specially tailored for his size and strength. Since the gnoll's bow was too large and heavy for our friend in the picture, he opted to keep his own bow. But since he was out of arrows he had no option but to take the oversized missiles he found in the gnoll's quiver. So the archer in the picture is using a bow only slightly too large for him with arrows that don't quite fit. He's suffering from a -2 penalty to his attack rolls and a -1 penalty to damage, since the combination is less than optimally effective. Fortunately, from that range he could hardly miss and scored a perfect heart shot. Well done, my archer friend! Cool

    Yes, precisely because the gnoll is already falling down, and because there is no banana peel on the ground causing him to fall. Laughing

    But, the arrows are made of bone, which fail to deeply penetrate most armor(and will shatter against plate armor), so the arrow is not in very deep apparently. If it were in deep, that much of the arrow would not be sticking out(i.e. it would need to be javelin length to do that).

    Arrows being sunk into their targets just looks more vicious and nasty, which is why I think shortening the length of the exposed arrow would look better. Evil Grin As it is, this is what it looks like when you pick up a dice to see how much damage an arrow does and you roll a "1". Events in the game can't always be "perfect", but in art they can be. Wink

    I look forward to seeing the next stage of this pic. Lots of character in there. Cool

    Hahaha....I haven't checked back on this thread in a good while and rechecking it, I never could have guessed a simple thing such as "arrow penetration" in one of my doodles would bring up so much discussion.

    Hey, if my art invokes ANY kind of talk....I'm happy. Wink

    As far as the painting goes, I had full intentions of it being completed by this point. When I first posted the pencil sketch for the painting, it was right before me and the missus' were taking a vacation to Cancun for a week. When I got back I got started on the actual "painting" part and between having a couple big snow falls in our area, one of my major drains that runs under my house getting clogged and almost having my house catch on fire due to faulty wiring going to my hot water heater....it's been nothing short of a miracle getting any work done on the illustration up to this point.

    It took two days to get the clog fixed, I just got the faulty wiring re-wired today and so starting tomorrow, I'll tackle the painting full force again. (keeps fingers crossed)

    Here's the top of the painting that I've worked on so far to give you a glimpse of where I'm at with it to this point. (The flash of the camera made the biggest dwarf's cloak hood look like it had white fuzz all over it. That's just the paint reflecting off the light. And there's not a whole lot of detail on the smaller dwarf and elf due to them both being about the size of my thumb nail. Smaaaaall. ;)





    More soon, fellas.

    Always great to see the method of things. Cool

    So, get out your paints people, and remember- Bob Ross says "Happy little trees, and fluffy white clouds!"

    wow! nice work, especialy on the dwarf coat. very good texture!

    the elf seems a little "stocky", but being the size of a thumbnail, its already a great work!

    First time I've been through here in a while, but have to say I'm Glad ( Laughing ) I did!
    It's been years since I drew anything of note, and I have to say these are tremendous works, and - as others have already said - really capture D&D sessions in all their 'glory'!

    Although Jeff Dee was always my favourite artist. Wink [/b]

    Thanks for the kind words!

    Here's a couple more photos of the painting where she's at to this point. You'll have to forgive the terrible photos. I'm using a dinosaur of a digital camera (1.5 mega pixels if that tells you anything Laughing ) as my good one is with my wife who is out of town. I've still got a ways to go but I hope to be done with it by next week.

    I'll tweak the ruins and stonework once everything else is finished but this is the basic layout of them...


    I took a close up of the dwarf without the flash turned on because it kept washing out everything, but now it just looks dull. I'll be sure to use my good camera for the final photo once the painting is all done.


    Until next post....

    Here's the nearly complete Ogre. The final pic with the good camera should reveal a lot more of the details on him (I hope) and I just realized there's a place I forgot to paint on him. Doh! I'll fix it before I post my next pic. Until then...

    Ogre head go "POP!"

    Looking good so far, though the light blue bit between the leaping dwarf's hammer and his head and the wineskin and wall top looks like it should be painted in with background tree foliage.

    Great paintings by Glad

    Glad ... I have to say ... I am really impressed by your use of colour. I've been illustrating for over 25 years,and I hadn't really ever bothered to do anything other than B&W until last year, and I must say ... you do it well. If there was a little green ::jealous:: smiley face that I could put here, I would! Shocked Wink It's amazing to see your stuff transform from your sketches to the complete work. I love watching the process.

    Keep it up, my man. When we get GLH to get that Gallery up and going, I can't wait to showcase your stuff in it's section and a thread of your very own. ... with your name on it, and everything:!: Happy

    Hey fellas...thanks for the kind words. It's been a while since I've been around (and I still haven't finished that stupid painting...but soon!) but I did just get a b&w piece done that I thought you guys might like.

    Have a good one!

    Very nice! You even have a little bug-eyed guy in there crapping himself and the claw marks in the stone. Awesome! Cool

    Thanks, fellas...I appreciate the kind words!

    This is interior artwork for a module to be released in the fall by LL. It was written by Tim Lowell and will be titled, "Voyage To Plague Island."







    I've got a step-by-step process that I did for the cover that'll get posted a little later.
