Russ Nicholson has passed.

Rest in peace. His art was very iconic for so many reasons for me growing up.

Well, drat. I didn’t know his name, but by god do I remember his work from when I was a kid.

 

[Sacrosanct]

One of my favorite artists. I knew he had health issues, but I'm very sad nonetheless. And reminded how all of my favorite icons of the industry have passed or will be passing soon

Getting old sucks. Not because of the aches, pains, body issues, etc. But seeing more and more of my friends and icons pass away around me.

Aw no!

He was definitely up there in my top three with Erol Otus and Trampier.

That's really sad, his artwork in the Warlock of Firetop Mountain got me started in this whole hobby when I got loaned a copy of the book at age 9 or so.

This is some sad news. His art is some of the most iconic in the history of the game.

Terrible news! The definitive D&D artist for me.

Very sad news. His work helped make the Fiend Folio such a beautiful, quirky book from those early days of D&D.
