    It's been a while...

    A few new interior pieces I've done for a megadungeon module for Sacrosanct Games coming out later in the year.

    More very cool work, Glad27!

    There's lots of interesting stuff going on in that top piece. Smile

    Glad, you never cease to amaze. Your skill is obviously unlimited, knowing no bounds.

    You produce great pieces and I really look forward to seeing more of them.

    Absolutely awesome.

    Though I am at a loss to know what that last picture depicts, the guy in chains.

    Looks "horrible" enough . . . if that's a "fate," that is. Laughing

    Are you drawing on a computer with a special stylus? I'm wondering how you got the black so solid if you are using ink. If you're using ink, are you doing a pencil drawing first and tracing like the comic guys do or separately?

    Thanks again, Mystic-Scholar!

    And to answer your question, Raymond, I do everything traditionally with pen and ink. I wouldn't begin to know how to draw digitally. That being said, I do scan my finished pieces in and use Gimp to strengthen the contrast and make the darks darker so as to help eliminate any pen strokes that may show.

    Here's a 14"x 17" commissioned piece I just got done with for a client...

    Awesome, Glad27! Happy

    Reminds me of the purple worm in Descent Into the Depths of the Earth.

    Fun stuff! The old school looking kobolds in a shield wall formation ranks pretty high up there on my all-time list of GLAD favorites. Cool

    Artwork

    Those are great, Glad! Want to do some art for an old homebrewed module? My brother and a friend and I wrote it back in the '80s; now I'm going back and reworking it and (substantially) improving it, and plan to submit it to Dragonsfoot (plus give away copies to anyone interested).

    Great art! One of the things I love is the facial expressions, everything from surprise, to defiance, to fear (none of the bland "anger" artwork that is so common). I'd make only one suggestion: More! Cool

    Glad, I envy your artistic ability. My sketches are crude and rudimentary compared to your drawings. I am far more skilled with the written word instead.

    I've seen the OP's art on Dragonsfoot.

    It's really nice stuff. I like the action and humor I see in these pieces.

    If kobolds were as adorable as those in the shield wall picture, I'm not sure how anyone could fight them!

    In all seriousness though, tremendous work all around.

    Awesome, Glad27!

    I hope that dwarf has some magical swimming aid. Otherwise, he's fish bait! Razz

    Merline with a Mustache?

    The guy in the top right might be wearing Merlin's chrome dome from the movie "Excalibur." Some times in black and white, it's hard to tell if there's a homage going on or not. Cool stuff.

    Hello everyone! I'm glad to be here. I love all your art works. I think I'll try to create something so I need your feedback guys. As for me, I'm interested in online games. Besides Dungeons and Dragons, I also like online bingo. That's fun Happy

    Hi evelyn. Welcome aboard. I used to go to actual, real-world bingo with an ex. It wasn't really my cup of tea but she liked the bingo & I liked the cheap meals. So it worked for both of us! For a while anyway. ;)
