Dragonlance Elmore's 'The Four Women of Dragonlance' Painting Is Finished

Back in February I mentioned that iconic D&D artist Larry Elmore was working on a new 'Women of Dragonlance' painting. Well, it's now finished! And you can buy a print of it!

Wow! Laurana's been working out. That's one buff elf.

Also (though this portrayal is consistent with Elmore's other works), in the books isn't Laurana's skin described as "nut-brown?"

At least her eyes aren't crossed this time, as far as we can tell.

Ah, I see what bothers me about Laurana - it’s the black dress (And her hair looks redder in this iconic picture).

If I weren't already jonesing to kick off a BECM campaign, I certainly would be now. Elmore is an icon.

C'mon now, that's like not talking about Luke & Vader. It's been 30+ years!

Shield-bashing, wasn't it? Her first fight she drops her sword and bashes a draconian to death with her shield, and later it's mentioned that she's turned shield-bashing into a fine art.

When we first met her in the bar, she used a metal frying pan to bash a bad guy on the noggin. I've loved that idea ever since, especially since I love hammers and every problem IS a nail. Frying pan has a larger surface for hitting with...

I believe that's Maquesta Kar-Thon.

Oh yeah, that's her. Thanks. Maybe she'll make the "Women of Dragonlance II".

Elmore does yeomanly work. Thank you Elmore for your service to D&D culture!

Cast iron skillets are no joke, some are heftier than maces. In fact, a couple weeks ago I was in the local Walmart with my son in the camping section and we came across a series of (Lodge) cast iron skillets that could have easily been statted out as doing 1d4 (finesse) (3.5"), 1d6 (6.5"), 1d8 (versatile) (8"), 1d10 (heavy, two-handed) (10.5") - with a contender that could be used for a d12 (15") version as well.

Besides, Tangled had Rapunzel use them to great effect!

I see five women...?

BTW, so. Nostalgic.

Skie is male, so...

What is the name of that Black woman pirate who appears in some Dragonlance art?
