Popped into a game shop this morning and found two new #DnD supplements that I’d recently contributed a ton of art for. Nice to see fresh work on the shelves! 🙂

Seeing my older #DnD artwork being appreciated today by folks more than a decade after I first drew it is like opening an unexpected gift and thank you card all in one. 😊 #ForgottenReams

This whole shebang seems to be scripted by The Weekly World News or a psychopath with a sadistic streak. I know that’s not true but it appears like the cosmos is losing its collective mind. It’s exhausting. Oh, and eggs are expensive.

Here's a closer look at my Silver Marches #RPGmap, now available via Patreon at TheEpicAtlas.com. The foldout poster was one I originally drew for the #DnD adventure 'War of Everlasting Darkness' & reminds me of the old poster inserts I loved in National Geographic mags. #TTRPG #Faerun #fantasy

20 years ago I was working on my first #TTRPG maps for #DnD. Serendipitously, they were set in world of #Greyhawk. Bit of a rush since I was in charge of Dungeon mag’s interior art & design when we ran out of available cartographers. I picked up the project out of necessity and fell in love!

Fun Fact: My first official #DnD #RPGmaps were drawn for the Dungeon magazine adventure ‘Throne of Iuz’ in issue 118. It was published back in January of ‘05 but I think I wrapped the art up in November of ‘04 while I was still working as an associate AD at @paizo.bsky.social Fun times!

Here’s today’s work-in-progress from The Logger’s Trail. On to the color! One thing I’ll focus on is using hue & tone in the inks to build atmosphere. They’re black now but they’ll be adjusted to give more of a sense of depth & temperature to the pattern. #TheEpicAtlas #fantasy #art #illustration
