Thanks for the comments, everyone. No fantasy stuff this time, but I did do a superhero sketch last night. I'm so bummed I missed GenCon: Back to work on projects for Bastion Press and White Wolf. By the way, I got my copy of Arcana Unearthed and it looks great. I learned so much on that...

(contact): These are really great. I'm always amazed at how specific you get the expressions. Soulful work. You're inspiring me to get back to mine.

Thanks for the comments, guys. It's been a while, I know. I've been pretty busy with work stuff. Here are a couple of illustrations from a more or less recent Polyhedron article ("Into the Bright Desert" in Poly 157 / Dungeon 98): I also have 5 monster illustrations in the next Poly...

Happy Birthday, guys. Best wishes.

Ashy: Yeah, I'm planning on going and getting a table in the Art Show. Please stop by and say "hi." It'll be my first GenCon. :)

Ashy: Yup, that's (lucky) me. And I have to say that Malhavoc was awesome to work with.

Thanks for all the comments, everyone. I have been lucky to be busy on some projects (like the terrific Deadly Games). Here's a taste (thanks RangerWickett): Also, if you haven't picked up the latest Dungeon/Poly, I have a couple of illustrations in there, too ... if you're curious. -David

Thanks for the bumps, folks. I'm sorry I haven't had any time to post; I've been holed up working on a couple of projects for Malhavoc Press. :) I'll be done in a week or so, so there should be more work up here soon. In the meantime, here's the orphaned Asgard 8 cover. :(

Thanks, folks. I really appreciate the comments. Hopefully I'll have time to read story hours again. :) Another recent project is Khan's Press' Fringe Races, available here at RPGNow for only $4.95. It presents four outcast races: Darkness Dwellers, Crag Goblins, Moon Sirens and Impets; and...

Here are two new paintings. Please check out Sword's Edge, a fantasy fiction 'zine I did these illustrations for. Enjoy!

Knightfall1972: Thanks for the bump. Conaill: That was totally cool of you to cross post that image. I completely missed that discussion. Sort of too late now. :( Sorry I've been away. I don't really have too much new to post. Actually, I have a ton of new stuff; but I can't post any of it...

Gizzard: Good points. I didn't mean to open up a can of worms: I only drew the distinction in the sense that illustration usually has some "utility" (it illustrates something) and what people call art may or may not. Art, as I think of it, has some value in its "aura" (it is valued for something...

I thought I'd post several thoughts I had on (or off) the topic: 1. There's a distinction between art and illustration. I think we're mostly talking about illustration here. Maybe it's art, maybe it's not. Illustration (and what people ought to pay for it) is hopefully a little more clear...

Sorry I've been away. I finally finished a stack of illustrations I had to do. So I'm back! Anyhow, thanks for the comments everyone. Kilmore: I dig your thread, too. Thanks for the encouragement. I do need to beef up the architecture side of my portfolio. Wee Jas: Thanks. I'm following the...

The board has helped kick off my budding illustration career. Between the story hours that originally inspired me and the friendly people I've met since, I really owe a lot to the community, host and moderators. Thanks, all!
