Old School Style Artist

[Vigilance]

When is the OSRIC Companion being released, and by whom?

Vigilance, you'd have to ping Papers&Paychecks about that. I'm not doing any of the writing (except for the owlbear) on them. I'm just contributing the art. P&P said version 1.01 of OSRIC should be out at the end of this month. It'll have some monsters in it (thus my art and some other cool art as well ). He said that he's not sure if he is going to release a full scale version of the OSRIC companion, or if it will be a series of supplements. I'm sure that when the 1.01 version of the OSRIC core book is out that he'll decide on how to proceed with the OSRIC Companion.

Here's one I just did for perhaps my most impressive client to date. This was done for my son's third birthday. The scan came out terrible and doesn't really do it justice. We are going to be leaving Okinawa for Italy right before my son's third birthday and I wanted him to have something to remember his time here by.

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 played stand alone or as part of an ongoing story arc in the Shadows of the Umbra Palace adventure series. Here's a couple of pieces of concept art for the module:

The above is a whimsical take on what I originally envisioned for Dustchapel Downs. The project has since taken on a bit more of a serious tone.

Above is an encounter idea concept picture for the cavern/dungeon in the first module. Please give me some feedback. If you are interested in my OSRIC project, check out my design diary here:http://xyanthon.livejournal.com/. I always like to hear what others think and recieve feedback so feel free to post comments there as well.

Real cool as always.

You know what? Your drawings have motivated me to attempt to draw D&D old-school art too. Although the result is different, this has shaken my laziness.

Here is one example below (if I understand how to attach files):

Very nice! Old school indeed. I'm glad I could be the inspiration for a creative endeavour of any sort. 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 see more Turanil.

You might want to add a Habu snake to this one. To me nothing was more Okinawan... LOL

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 that Expeditious Retreat Press is putting out.

Here's a picture of a hag:

And some adventurers taking on some skeletons:

You are an amazing artist, the old stuff is almost only what I play.. How long have you been drawing for? I wish I could teach myself to draw that good..

Great new art! Love it lots!
