Old School Style Artist

I also want to add that your old school drawings are even better than those that appeared in AD&D1e! :)

Just out of curiosity: how much time it takes for you to make one such illustration?


Turanil,

Thank you for the compliments! The time can vary per illustration dependent on size and level of detail in the picture and medium used. For instance, the dragon slayers picture (which is the first picture in this thread) was done on a full 8.5" x 11" piece of paper and took somewhere on the order of about 12 hours to complete. The White Dragon picture which was done in acrylic on a 11" x 17" canvas board took something like 15 hours, while the glabrezu which was also on an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper took only around 6 hours to complete. Most of the others are only about 3" x 5" and take less time (around 2 to 4 hours). It also depend on what kind of level of distration I'm faced with from my family :D . My wife and son are away for the next week so I have nothing to do but draw.

I have about 4 pieces that I'm working on at the moment and should have them finished by the end of the week. Most of them I'll post here except for perhaps the marilith which might be a little too risque for these forums. However, all of my work is posted at the Knights and Knaves Alehouse forum which is the home to the OSRIC Companion project. If you are interested in seeing some of my work that doesn't get posted here, check over there. Here's a link to my thread over there: http://knights-n-knaves.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2661. It's also a good place to see what is going on as far as the project is concerned and how things are coming along.

Thanks,

John

Here's one of a classic old school critter, the ever popular Gelatinous Cube:

I have some others such as a marilith that I'm fairly satisfied with that are posted at the link in my post above (The Knights and Knaves alehouse forum). It is not really lewd or anything, but I felt to go conservative and not post it here. If you wish, go over there and check it out along with some other pics I have not posted here. All of my OSRIC Art will be posted over there with some of the highlights posted here.

Thanks,

John

Turanil, I have not thought about it before, but it certainly is an interesting idea that I would not be opposed to. I wonder what kind of interest there would be for it?

I'd buy it :)
