    Dungeons & Dragon print ad of 1981

    Or that it worked on a shambling mound.

    Dragonlance: Our LotR?

    I read Dragon Lance for the first time when I was around 14 or so in 1986. I was pretty much hooked. I hadn't read Tolkien at the time but had seen the Hobbit cartoon and the Lord of the Rings Cartoon. I had an abiding love of all things fantasy and didn't really ditinguish too much at the...

    Old School Style Artist

    Thanks Frukathka! Stuart Marshall is putting the finishing touches on OSRIC version 1.01 which should have quite a bit of my work in it. I'm working on my own project for OSRIC (an adventure series/campaign world) and contributing to a few others. My live journal has more info on my projects...

    Old School Style Artist

    Thanks Bigfoot! I've been drawing since I was very young. As for teaching yourself to draw; you can! Like most other things, drawing ability gets better with practice. I'll admit that some have a natural head start or a natural aptitude that gives them an edge. However, anyone can improve...

    Which ENWorlder Would You Want to Meet?

    Heh, I'd pretty much like to meet anyone. I've spent the last year and a half only interacting with other gamers via the Inernet. It has been a most solitary gaming experience for me.

    How is Palladium doing?

    Philotomy, I agree completely. I first encountered them through Robotech and then discovered the Fantasy game. I like both even though the mere mention of Palladium can start all kinds of craziness. I really enjoy the art as well. I still look in on them from time to time but I'm not crazy...

    Green Ronin to produce a new Song of Ice and Fire RPG

    This was some much needed good news on the gaming front. I can't wait to see where GR goes with this. :D

    A Replacement for DRAGON?

    I would love to see a replacement for Dragon. I think a general OGL magazine is just what the market has been needing. I know that D&D is far and away the most widely known and played RPG and Dragon benefitted from the official content. However, there is so much more going on in the industry...

    Pathfinder 1E PATHFINDER: A First Look

    Alright Eric, James, and Paizo crew, you have sold me. I'll be picking up a subscription soon :D . As for the whole APO question, I live in Okinawa and subscribe to both Dungeon and Dragon and have never had a problem having them shipped to my APO here. Now that I'm transfering to Italy, it...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo no longer publishing Dungeon and Dragon

    I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of discontentment. I know I'm late to the party but I think this really sucks. I'll check out what PAizo is going to do but not having a regular general interest gaming magazine to fill the void is really going to suck. I guess I'll go ahead and...

    Old School Style Artist

    Here's some more work that I did for an upcoming OSRIC campaign setting by James Boney. He wrote the Curse of the Witch Head adventure which I also did the interior art for. It's really good stuff so if you like 1e AD&D style adventures, go to the link in my sig and check out the cool stuff...

    Old School Style Artist

    Very nice! Old school indeed. I'm glad I could be the inspiration for a creative endeavour of any sort. :D You definitely nailed the cross hatching and shading. I tend to get lost in the details sometimes but I'm working on giving my work more depth while keeping the same style. I'd love to...

    Some of my character Art- Feedback welcome!

    I can see a lot of enthusiasm in the pictures which is a great thing! As the others have stated, focus on the anatomy and perspective now. Draw from real life to get a feel for anatomy and proportion. I like to scour the internet for reference photos to use to get anatomy and perspective...

    Old School Style Artist

    Whew, been really busy lately trying to get things in order for the big move from Japan to Italy. I haven't had a lot of time to do any new work. I have been working sporadically on my own OSRIC project entitled Sinister Sightings at Dustchapel Downs . It's a low level module that can be...

    Ninjas!

    Wow, there really is a lot of fanboism and misinformation out there about ninjas. Every right minded person should know that they were all killed long ago by dinosaurs. Sheesh, public education these days... :lol:

    Classic D&D...

    I was always more of a 1e AD&D guy back in the day. I did have the BEMCI rules when I was younger but prefered the look and feel of the advenced game. However, my tastes have shifted and I like the approach of the BECMI, RC, and OD&D (1974) quite a bit. If I could find time and interested...

    Introduction and some art (big images)

    Wow! I definitely think that your work is viable. I'm sure that you could find a welcome artistic home in any industry that you set your sights on.

    How did you get your start

    Ah, the Bard's Tale games. I have many fond memories of those (along with Wizardry and Might and Magic- oops, almost forgot Phantasie!).

    How did you get your start

    I know that several months ago there was a thread about how people got started into gaming. I am always interested in hearing how people got into gaming or good gaming stories. I've posted mine in my Live Journal (see the link in my sig). I'm going to post my recollections of my gaming...
