What is the original source for this awesome Lockwood painting?

[Bran Blackbyrd]

Five; the goblin and the kobold should count as 'little people'.

Bah! They are vermin! Each and every one of them!
On a serious note; no they shouldn't, since they can't possibly be a halfling or a gnome, which was what I was getting at.
Actually... I'm not sure what you're getting at.

I also like <snip> the halfling (or is it a gnome?) in the back draping his arm over a red dragon's snout.

Looking at this gnome/halfling, I was wondering: is this a mandolin attached to the waist, or is he just happy when looking at the tiefling monk?

 

[Gez]

The red dragon looks like a trophy attached to the wall. I'm not sure the full body would have room to stand in the tavern.


And the bard is a gnome. Gnomes are now bards. (Personally, I'd have kept Gnome as wizards, and made elves the bards, since the mix of art, magic, and swordplay of the bard class is a perfect fit for elven culture, but well.)

 

[Kae'Yoss]

Anyone noticed the rather... harsh looks between the mind flayer and the drow?

See the dark elves muscled arms? And thent here's three guys - all known for their superior intellect - with dice on the table. It's obvious: the drow's a jock and the other three are nerds. And they don't go well together...

I have my doubts. Keepers are human-sized with pale skin and since they all look the same, I don't think they'd have tattoos. Their limbs transform into weapons, so I don't think it would use a gatling crossbow. Gnomes, however, are known for such gadgets.

Hmmm, the bald head, goggles, and Tony D. Planescape tattoo still make me think this is a Keeper (and Keepers had tattoos in the original PS Monstrous Compenium II), but you are right about the musculature and gadget.

Perhaps some unholy keeper/gnome crossbreed?

Actually, it looks a lot like the Gnome Artifacer in Magic of Faerun...or even the Gnome from the Chainmail set.

 

[Aristotle]

That's not a gnome with the crossbow bolt thrower, it is a Keeper, origanally from Planescape.

I can see where you might see that, but it's a gnome. Actually its the "gnome archer" from the artist's website. You can find him in the 'concept art' section.

The half-elf sorcerer (the blonde in the middle) is there as well, albeit with different hair!

Hehe, it's been too long.
I made (a no doubt lame) conversion of the Keepers for my homebrew campaign, but by the time I started running it the Fiend Folio had come out. Still don't like that picture...

This even further cements Todd Lockwood as a god of fantasy art.
