RIP Jim Holloway

[Sacrosanct]

Announced by his son on FB. Jim was always one of my top ten favorite artists, because in an era where cheesecake ruled supreme, he kept his portrayals realistic. Regular people doing adventures, in functional and not flashy armor. With a bit of humor thrown in for good measure. That helped a younger me visualize the game world so much better than a chain mail bikini. He was so influential to me, that when I created the super dungeon Felk Mor, all of the interior art was by an artist in his same style.

You will be missed sir.

RIP, one of my favourite pieces 'lay down your arms' 'come and take them!'

RIP. His cover of B4 sold it to me. Great sense of humour in many of his drawings.

I remember his style, because some pictures of Endless Quest gamebooks was by him. RIP.

He also did Star Frontiers interior art. My favourite.

 

[Nebulous]

yes, one of my favorites. He did so many wonderful illustrations for the Endless Quest books too.

Requiescat In Pace. Holloway's art was often grounded and humorous, but he could do epic as well as any of the Four Horseman (see also the piece posted by @mach1.9pants):

I remember him mostly for the black and white art, but he sure had some great color ones too.
