[AsenRG]

the what now?

I think he wants a copy of your collected doodles in hardback? Can't be quite sure but it looks like it!

 

[Luca]

the what now?

Short memories, I see...

Holy shit.

So, when does the limited edition hardback come out?

 

[AsenRG]

Short memories, I see...

Nah, I remembered it right! Just wasn't 100% sure it was you, so I just specified that I might be wrong.

And that finishes up Part I - The American Indian Mythos

 

[TristramEvans]

I've been doing some cleanup of the Images in Photo-editor, here's an updated Yanauluha after about an hour's worth of touch-ups...

At a bit of an impasse with the Arthurian mythos, lo be honest, not sure how to approach them. Waiting for some sort of imspiration to hit.

 

[David Johansen]

I'm thinking someone needs to pay you for your art and put it in an OGL retro clone type thing. However, I think it would need to be a bit of an off the wall one with sanity checks or something. A different take on the monsters maybe. Almost taken from the perspective that people would be reading their first Monster Manual, not knowing what to expect. Maybe that's it. A Monster Manual with new write ups that takes a more mythical approach to monsters.

 

[TristramEvans]

Illustrating a Old School (not necessarily OSR, but OSR adjacent perhaps) Fantasy RPG with a Folk-Horror vibe seemslike my calling.

It's odd, throughout this project I've sort of delved into/pulled out of myself this specific style that's very different from the superhero/pulp illustrations that I've been working on for Phaserip. I enjoy it - playing with simplistic texture techniques like stippling and crosshatching is very soothing to the Psyche, as is just pulling these weird-ass anatomies and malavelont expressions out of my id.

 

[David Johansen]

Writing "among the beautiful creatures" was like that for me. I need to re-visit it some day, mostly to add The Butcher's Tale at the beginning and Beyond the Gates of Tallow at the end. I should have gotten my daughter to illustrate it when she was five or six. She's too good now, I wanted it to look like it was illustrated by an insane toddler.

I see what you did there...

 

[TristramEvans]

This was a commision I did for a friend's game, where he wanted to introduce a creature that was the opposite of the Gibbering Mouther, a creature composed of all eyes and mouths. His concept was a "Dribbling Noser"...a creature instead all noses and ears.


It is easily the most disgusting thing that I have ever drawn. I wasn't even able to eat the entire time I was working on it...

Not a monster I'd have picked.

I'll get my coat.

 

[Chris Brady]

Ew.

 

[Voros]

Amazing stuff.

 

[TristramEvans]

A random thing I did as an experiment...

 

[Nexus]

I like "tribal' gods, their feel and largely non anthropomorphic style really sets them apart.

 

[Nobby-W]

I think you've picked a winner there.

 

[Chris Brady]

I think you've picked a winner there.

Let S'not start that again.

 

[TristramEvans]

Hey @Voros , I'm going through all my pics doing digital clean-up to get them ready for publication, and I significantly altered the Modron I'd done before.

Just in case you were loooking to upgrade your avatar...

 

[Voros]

Thanks!

Here is a sketch of the Druid Rork melting the boundaries of reality!

A sketch I did while my class was writing a math quiz

 

[Fenris-77]

I'm still mostly in the draw other artists I like phase of drawing skill recovery. A couple of sketches after the fantastic Mike Mignola from Gotham By Gaslight...



Do we need a thread for art by people other than TristramEvans? I don't want to clutter a bespoke thread...

 

[TristramEvans]

I don't mind, it's been a while since I've gotten the time to draw anything, hope that changes in 2021.

 

[Giganotosaurus]

Earlier today I was digging though some notes I took a year ago and came across the first drawing I made of my current D&D character. I drew it during a particularly boring lecture on proper silverware placement, and it originally started out as just a small doodle of the character, but then I started to add details eventually turning it into what I imagined a wizard dreams of.

They certainly fit my idea of Carcosa!
Can I borrow them for my wuxia game?
