“Found this in the flat files drawer.”

Interesting that he has minor characters like Aran Tallbow and Eben Shatterstone in there.

Do you know there is special software whose algoritms allow to create a picture imitating certaing artist's style?

Is there any artist with a style as Elmore?

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

Anyone know what the percentages mean?

I always pictured Derek as younger, more like the spikey-haired blonde jerk you'd see in 80s-era movies set in high school or college (but with a mustache, naturally).

Anyone know what the percentages mean?

The chance of them beating Tasslehoff in a fight.

Aaron and Derek look like they are the same character with different clothes.

 

[Rabulias]

Interesting that he has minor characters like Aran Tallbow and Eben Shatterstone in there.

Aaron (and Derek) were available as pregen player characters in a some of the modules, and these illustrations were used as the portraits on their PC cards in the back of the module. Eben's picture was likewise used for his NPC card.

Anyone know what the percentages mean?

In the days prior to scanners every drawing was photographed in order to add it to the layout. The percentages are the designer's instructions, to the photograph, for actual size the drawing would appear in the final document.

Larry Elmore was the very best for me for defining the look of the Dragonlance saga. I actually collected the older Boxsets adventures because of his cover artwork. And yes, I helped fund his Kickstarters. Though his latest art piece, The Women of Dragonlance was not top of his game.

Just curious, when is the last time Elmore did a cover for a Dragonlance book? I believe the new trilogy is supposed to start release this year.

Larry Elmore is the best!

I’ve had the honor of meeting him and working with him.

His covers for the original 3 DragonLance novels are probably my favorite fantasy art of all time.

I even have hand signed and number prints framed in my office

 

[Dungeonosophy]

Cool. I hope that Elmore keeps sharing.

 

[Lieslo]

Think Tika has a look of Stefanie Powers circa Hart to Hart era

Larry Elmore's art is gorgeous.

I hope someday, he can put out another artbook that also includes any new art he has made since 2014.

Totally jealous.
