Inspired partly by THIS (http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?619133-Doodles-and-Dragons-In-which-I-make-a-cartoon-of-every-monster-in-the-2nd-ed-MM) thread on rpgnet, Ive decided to do a sketch of every monster in the D&D 2nd edition Monster Manual, with a few caveats:
I take a half-hour lunch at work, during which 10-15 minutes are spent eating, and the remainder of the time I draw. It is during this period that I'm going to be drawing a monster each day ( with a break on my days off). So 15-20 min a sketch, no more, and whatever the result I'm tossing online. This is to prevent the endeavour from becoming mired in my perfectionism.
These won't be doodles in the style of the aforementioned thread, rather sketched in the same default style I use during games. It's kinda of comic book by way of old fairy tale illustrations, or at least those are the primary influences, I make no claims in comparison of quality.
I'll be skipping the "normal" animals. I'm doing this for fun, w/o references, and I don't want to throw up any crappy sketches of a horse or dog.
Certain iconic monsters I'll be saving till the end, and put some extra time into. This includes Things like Beholders and the eponymous Dragons.
If an entry includes various " types" of a monster, I'll be picking one. Whichever I think will be theist interesting to draw.
And finally, I'm going to be going from the text description only, ignoring previous artistic interpretations of the monsters . I may extrapolate further from that starting point.
EDIT: I've decided to try and repair this thread, as best I can, after it was hobbled by my switching from Photobucket as a host for my drawings to Flickr (whose load time is just so less brain-spasm inducing)
So....starting from the top...

First up, Aarakocra. Bird men. Not much to say here, just a lot of feathers.
Two-for-Tuesday, here's an ABOLETH and an ANKHEG
Went Lovecraftian on the ABOLETH which is usually drawn as a big evil fish.
And for today's entry, here's an ARCANE. These are apparently blue giants from another dimension that show up st flea markets looking for magic items. I figure of that's the route one's going, no reason to hold back on the weird.
So we're up to date, tomorrow an Argos.
Wow, that is definitely an interesting take on the Aboleth.

Jim Holloway is most famous for his work at TSR during the 80s. One of the most prolific artists they had, along with Jeff Dee, Trampier, Sutherland, Rosloff, and Otus. In fact, Holloway was heralded because all of his people looked like they wore "real" armor instead of cheesecake nonsense.
Comparing your work to his is no insult ;) Not for me anyway, because it sparks good nostalgic memories.

Oh no, I took it as a compliment, he just seems a bit more polished from what I've seen, which makes sense if he's been in the industry that long. My pencil work still errs towards sketchy.
Bonus: here's a sketch of a Wendigo I did for a recent Call of Cthulhu game
what a cheery wendigo
Quote from: mightyuncle;681440what a cheery wendigo
lol, well here's him with his maw extended:
Great stuff, Tristram. If I ever publish a rpg I will call you to illustrate it.
Keep em comin. ;)
Really neat work!
Here's a few more character sketches from the last fantasy campaign I was in...
Quote from: Sacrosanct;681264My first thought was Jim Holloway.
Well. I .. hm. I like Jim's art a lot, actually! :)
...and probably the final for today, an unfinished Sketch of Black Annis for an upcoming game. This was the third version and I quite like it but plan to distort the face a but further for the final version...
This is all great stuff!
Colour me jealous of your artistic talent.
//Panjumanju
That is the best Aarakocra I've ever seen...
The other stuff is pretty fantastic too.
Great to see a really monstrous, Eldritch Abomination style abboleth! :)
Hell you made the ankheg scary! Now that I hadn't believed possible. :cool:
Will be following this thread.
Great work. Really looking forward to seeing how this develops :)
That is the first time an Arcane/Mercane has ever seemed cool to me. I like your style, dude... only I wish they were scanned instead of photographed.
This is brilliant.
What's more, i'm stickying it.
PM me if you're interested in doing any paid illustrating.
Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Man, and here I am, only being able to draw stick figures.
Quote from: LibraryLass;681540That is the first time an Arcane/Mercane has ever seemed cool to me. I like your style, dude... only I wish they were scanned instead of photographed.
My scanner has been in a state of disrepair since an ill-fated move. Recently getting into painting minis again has got me back into the mood for being artistic, so I'll likely be picking up a new one in the near future.
Quote from: One Horse Town;681550This is brilliant.
What's more, i'm stickying it.

Awesome! I've never had a stickied thread before :D Almost feel like gushing...though I'm not sure exactly how one goes about that :)
Thanks OHT. I'll be PMing you later.
Also did this while bored at work ...
And here's another character sketch from a game.
Sketch of a Celtic Warrior-Ent
Very cool. Oh you were the one who did the awesome Mystic..
Quote from: TristramEvans;681957Sketch of a Celtic Warrior-Ent
I approve. :cool:
Continuing with the Celtic theme, here's an unfinished sketch of...well, self explanatory...
This is brilliant, Tristram.
Do you do art for hire?
Seriously.
Quote from: Silverlion;682027Do you do art for hire?
Seriously.
I'd certainly consider it. PM me about it though, I don't want to turn the thread into that.
And for today's entry, an AURUMVORAX or " golden gorger"...
Here's just a random whatsit...
My ten year old boy sitting here with me says it is a cyborg John Jones.

Slightly more cartoony than the other entries and the body structure owes more than a bit to Hellboy. This one was done in 8 minutes, might do another Baatezu, but then I could draw demony-things all day.

Got a few more sketches for you tonight, found shoved in the back of a notebook...
No idea what this is, just kinda poured out onto the page one evening...
You sure are prolific! I think I do a good job, myself, but every piece is a labor. I'm working on my anatomy specifically, and I've evolved a rather non-spontaneous process of drawing a stick figure, then elements of the skeleton, then musculature, then skin, then clothing.. gah.
Two for Tuesday!
Quote from: fuseboy;683477You sure are prolific! I think I do a good job, myself, but every piece is a labor. I'm working on my anatomy specifically, and I've evolved a rather non-spontaneous process of drawing a stick figure, then elements of the skeleton, then musculature, then skin, then clothing.. gah.
Anatomy/proportion is a continual struggle for me as well, the easy thing about monsters being that I can play fast and lose with body shape and musculature. Otherwise I still defer to Hogarth and reference photos. But, as they say, talent is another word for obsession, or as one of my favourite teachers summed it up " Every artist had a thousand bad drawings of every part of the body to get past before they can draw a good one". I tend to look at every drawing I do as practice for the next. Hence, if not for this thread, the majority of these sketches would end up in the trash.
If you've got anything you want to share though, please do. No reason I should have all the fun.
Quote from: TristramEvans;683707Anatomy/proportion is a continual struggle for me as well, the easy thing about monsters being that I can play fast and lose with body shape and musculature.
I totally get that. I did grotesque monsters for years; it was only when people started asking me to draw humans that I saw how far I had to go.
Quote from: TristramEvans;683707If you've got anything you want to share though, please do. No reason I should have all the fun.
Cool! Well, here's one that I did on a recent vacation. Much of my recent stuff has been digital, so it was nice to learn that I'm not
completely dependent on all that hardware. I still miss 'undo', but there's something very pleasant about the tangible feel of paper.

Nice. Good use of shadows, and particularly like the (zombie?)
Test to see if I can spoiler-block NSFW images...
This sketch ended up looking like The Abomination from 60s Hulk comics...
The Brollachan is a goblin from Irish folklore that appears as an amorphous shape-changer and can only make sounds like a bleating goat. Perfect for a Lovecraftian encounter when the players are expecting run-of-the-mill faerykin...

I've only seen it released under the Japanese name. I had no idea the film had even been retitled.
Ok, been off work a few days, but here's our next entry...The Basilisk
An accurate Basilisk. (In Folklore they're the same critter as a Cockatrice, mostly. The reason? If the Basilisk hear three crows of a cock they died.)
FAIL!
Quote from: Silverlion;685429An accurate Basilisk. (In Folklore they're the same critter as a Cockatrice, mostly. The reason? If the Basilisk hear three crows of a cock they died.)
See that's the kind of stuff I find the MM lacking. If I'm going go have a bug-crazy high magic world where every wizard on the planet can nuke regiments of humanoid creatures with a high school education and an ecosystem of hominid races of comparable intellect cohabiting a small geographical space among multitudinous natural predators (why not just brick up thoroughly every hole in the ground you find, like, ever?)...then why not have magic play some part in the natural order of things?
You should seriously be contacting publishers and send them links to this. You would probably be hired. Now, I'm not sure how good the pay would be, but you would get money for doing something you like.
Thanks for saying so, not a bad idea. I've got a job that pays well and gives me enough freetime to write, draw, and game, so I'd really just get a kick out of seeing my work grace a printed page. I should start by sending a few PMs tonight to people who have already responded here.
So I tried again, and managed this Lovecraftian take under the allotted time...
Ah the Behir, one of my favourites. The 'Ecology of' article in Dragon spawned many a great adventure.
I think you nailed it with that third one. Do the blur thing again as soon as you get to Displacer Beasts.
Early one today. Here's a Broken One...once men , they were the victims of botched spells and magical experiments, transforming their bodies into a foul mix of animals & human. Very fun to draw, and great concept. If I drew a thousand of these, each wd turn out radically different, but here's today's entry.
Love the Broken One. The Monster Manual illustration was nothing special; yours makes it look like a chaos mutant outta Warhammer (...or a PC in Mutant Epoch...).

Warhammer remains a big influence on my approach to fantasy
Today, a Brownie
So Bugbears are an interesting case. In D&D, they're just big Goblinoids, a position I think already served fine by Orcs. In folklore, a 'bug' or 'bwg' originally was a class of faery creature that one could reasonably equate with Goblin. A bugbear thus being a bear-like goblin more or less. This sketch is the germ of an idea I think I'll explore more later on, taking a slight Miyazaki influence...
Land Shark!

Have you ever read the Bone comic books? The reason I bring that up is a) when I saw the Stupid, Stupid Rat Creatures I immediately decided that was pretty much what my bugbears would look like, and b) your bugbear looks very similar to a Stupid, Stupid Rat Creature.

Ha! Yes I didn't think of that but I'll bet it was a subconscious influence. Damn, and I just realized its been about 6 years since I read my Bone comics. There goes my Saturday :)
So, yeah picture a pear-shaped upright rat-creature and that's what I'm going for. Maybe get it right next attempt.
Catoblepas was today's entry. One of the weirder creatures in the manual, coming from Pliny's Natural History, one of the best sources for mythic beasties. I'm not quite satisfied with this one. Again, without using reference, my animals suffer in quality. I tried to make this one look like a Wildebeest, not sure how well I succeeded.
For a change, thought I'd post some of my actual "art" art...

Well this one turned out weird, but at least it's not like any other interpretation of a Centaur I've yet encountered, and might actually be a neat subversion to player expectations...
That centaur looks like something outta the less nice parts of the Dreamlands...
Back to work and back to sketching. And today it was the Chimera! A personal favourite since my first big book of Greek Myths as a child. Didn't try to do anything funky or original with this one, the centaur still irks me to look at, turning out like a retarded donkey-man (though at least a little disturbing. He'd be at home in a horde of Chaos Beastmen or an army of Fomorians). So yeah, straight up classic Chimerah. And for the amount of time it took (28 minutes precisely), I like it. It's no Frazetta, but with animals sans reference one of my weaker areas, I'm pleased with it. The lion part looks leonine, the goat part goaty, and the serpent part looks serpentine.
Took a slightly better picture...
The Cloaker! Which I've interpreted as a sort of cobra-leech...
And a Couatl

Quote from: Ronin;691798I love this one.:)
:) That one was a lot of fun. Wanted to do something a bit different from the usual spikey plate armour (which is also very fun to draw, just a bit expected). It's an idea I might return to at some point for a painting. It's always surprised me, with how popular it is among wargames, how few RPGs utilize Napoleonic aesthetics.
It gives me all kinds of ideas for a Sabres and Witchery scenario.
Hm, now I want to do a Prussian Liche
Quote from: TristramEvans;691822Hm, now I want to do a Prussian Liche
It kind of reminds me of the Hessian from Sleepy Hollow.
The Dragonette. Mainly just went for cute w/o copying Lockjaw.
And then The Dragonne, which is supposedly a cross between a lion and a brass dragon. A Liogon?

I do try to make them at least a little threatening*. I found the illustration in the MM a little too cuddly, in a pathetic kind of way.
(http://www.dotd.com/mm/ettercap.gif)
*- except for the Moondog. That was a goofy tribute to a character from one of those 50s beach movies that they used to show in the afternoons on TV in the 80s. Gidget and whatnot.

I've never used one in a game before. May have to rectify that. It's not one of the better known D&D monsters, so may catch my players off guard.
So, finishing up E's with an Eyewing. These things always reminded me of those eye-bats from The Dark Crystal . Well, the MM's illustration, not so much this one.

A Goblin (with an incredibly impractical hand weapon)
The long blade is shaped to straighten a piglet's (or halfling's) colon, whereas the smaller part of the blade is supposed to stick into the flesh just above the rectum. The pommel should have an asymmetric shape to be able to fit into a slot allowing for the rotation of the blade above a roasting fire.
I feel like such a Frenchman thinking about suckling pigs looking at bizarre shapes of blades like this. :D

Ouch. Now Im just picturing that Goblin running behind ranks, waiting to catch an opponent bent over...
A Golem.
In this case a tribute to classic horror films. This is the first image that pops in my mind when I think of golems. The grainy b&w silent film that I saw as a kid on AMC near Halloween and referenced in the books on classic horror I would get from school libraries. Those films held a legendary sort of status for me as a kid and horror film fan in the 80s. They were incredibly rare, never recieving wide release on VHS. The upper echelon was the Universal monster films: Lugosi's Dracula, Chaney's Wolfman, Karlof's Frankenstein monster. The Golem was one of those satellite films, less known and weirdly creepier for being silent, darkened film-negative-like, grainy, and in a foreign language originally, like Lang's M and Metropolis and the Dada-ish Cabinet of Doctor Caligari.
I added the Hebrew name of god on the forehead, a large aspect of the original folklore completely lost in modern interpretations.

A Gorgon
Or a D&D one anyways. I only know or Gorgons from classical myth, which counts Medusa among thier number. No idea where the "armoured bull" interpretation comes from, if its completely a D&Dism or there's some basis for it. The description said they sometimes stand upright, which was the basis for this sketch.

Quote from: Arduin;706611"Sketches"!?
You are a really good artist. I would give a million to be 1/2 that good.
Its just obsession. When I was a toddler, apparently my parents would sit me in a high chair and give me a pen and piece of paper and I'd sit quietly for hours scribbling small indecipherable symbols. Never really stopped.
I've been on haitus the last week, as a friend of mine had his mom pass away and I've been clearing out her house, getting it ready to sell. And she was a hoarder* But looking forward to getting back to these sketches, and some art I'm doing for a few other people.
* - got some great swag though. So far this week I've taken home 2 tool sets, a juicer, a reciprocating saw, 2 electric drills, a tent, air matress, and 2 sleeping bags, a bicycle, helmet, and air pump, a complete set of Time Life WW2 History books, a 3 volume history of the middle ages, 2 cherry wood bookcases, a DVD stand, 50+ DVDs, 2 large flat screen TVs, 2 DVD players, a blu-ray player, 3 industrial fans, etc, all either brand new or in new condition ( most of it never opened). The son doesn't want any of it, and that's maybe 5% of what's there. The big score though was a box of Conan comics and books from the 70s. Also a box of sports cards, which are quite old (50s -60s from the looks of it), though I know nothing about those.
Quote from: Raven;706608These are no mere doodles.
Well, time limit of 20-30 minutes a piece, with no reference. Most of these would end up in the trash otherwise. But artists are always their own worste critics. All I can see are the flaws.
One does not simply doodle into this thread. Nice work, Tristram.

Thank you. Looking forward to getting back to this. It's been 2 weeks and my obsession-compulsion to draw is starting to itch at the back of my imagination. House-painting is a poor substitute. Looks like by Wednesday Ill be back to regular programming. May kick it off with a massive day of doodling.

Hey, what pen(s) are you using?
This past summer I finally figured out what to do with brush pens and have been loving them ever since. I found that Faber Castell's were oddly cheap and more waterproof than slightly more expensive ones (e.g. Prismacolor).
Lol, that one is done with just one lying around the office... Lemme see...
"uni-ball vision micro". Honestly, these really are doodles, as often as not with dollar-store gel pens on computer paper.
But for my "good stuff" at home I prefer Rapidiographs (koh-I-nor)

This one is kinda out there, just a stream of consciousness thing. The premise combines the idea of the will o the wisp with a phantom as a sort of amoebic soul collector that floats around with the hollowed-out skin of the last person whose soul it's devoured.

Do you prepare a bunch of sketches to show your players when you're GMing? I think a lot of these are really worth a thousand words, and make it far more appealing to use obscure monsters, especially when you've put your own spin on them to really chill the hearts of the most stalwart PCs ...
Slamming one of them on the table instead of giving them a name, or a long description = instapanic.

oh definitely. Post 61 shows an example of the little pics I do for all my NPCs and I always bring monster pics for a game. Im a big fan of making each monster in my games unique (even if I use a standard like a vampire, Ill always mix it up what kind of vampire), so players never know what theyre facing till I reveal the picture. In my Call of Cthulhu games the monster reveal is a big event. I also do customized character sheets for my players with individualized pictures of thier characters.
For me a sandbox game more than anything is made up of just a box of random pictures which I riff off of.

Yeah, Ive always found the archetypes from folklore to have a sort of
resonance (for lack of a better word) that D&D and D&D-derived creations tends to lack. Maybe its that little dwarflike men who live in mines is something I can picture medieval cultures believing in, whereas the lizardman thing seems much more like a 20th c sci-fi concept.

Thanks. Really distorted the anatomy, so it looks like something that would be disturbingly wrong walking down a corridor towards you. The Leucrotta is based on myths about Hyenas, so if you add a wheezy cackle to it I think it has sort of a nightmare Dr. Seuss vibe. At least, that was the intention. :)

I have access to a scanner, just not at home or the office. Plan to pick one up soon, but still recovering a bit from Xmas.
have you thought of selling your art in stock art packages in DTRPG?
You should.
Actually someone contacted me about doing that. Just have to reserve a weekend to go scan a bunch in. Also was thinking after I finish this project of auctioning off the entire set. Or at least the decent ones.

Just did a fishman last week so wanted to try something dofferent here. It has the head of an actual type of fish thats creepy as can be, and then sort of a riff on Creature from the Black Lagoon for a body.

Neat. A very unusually spooky locathah.
The Lurker
The ultimate evolution of Dungeon ecology. I always wonder what kind of world would produce creatures for so specific a habitat?
Intelligent design by jealous wizards, I imagine. Or maybe it evolved in caves/the underdark and thus it's just good at imitating stone surfaces in general and the dungeon ceiling thing is due to it being chameleonlike or accumulating appropriate-looking clutter to attach to itself like some types of hermit crab?
Yeah , I guess "A Wizard did it" works especially well as a trope for D&D.

I love Lizardmen, one of my favorite "underused" creatures, and that picture is t3h bomb.
Cool, I was pretty happy with that Lizardman.
My first "big success" as a GM during my teens was a game I ran loosely inspired by the 80s miniseries V and the old Land of the Lost, where there was an underground race of Lizardmen that had been awoken from hibernation were infiltrating the human kingdoms above to reclaim thier "rightful place" as rulers of the world. Theyd had Aztec/Sumerian style civilizations in prehistoric times and there was an offshoot of thier race, Troglodytes, who could shapeshift. All the inflitrators had really silly names I recall, like the wizard Red Namalas.

Indeed, that was the inspiration. :)
Gave mine pants though. I was pleased with my attempt to ape Mignola's style.
This just keeps continuing to bring the cool .... LOVE the lizardman, the detail on the head/face is fantastic. The weres are great too, especially the werebat! I had never pictured the in-between stage of transformation like that (my idea being the somewhat cheesy transformation of Dracula in the Coppola film. I love that film, but it does have its fair share of goofy moments).
I really like the way creatures like the wereboar and lizardman are so stocky. For some reason there's too little representation of fatter creatures in standard art, even when it very much makes sense. (as for fat characters ... well, the occasional dwarf has a paunch, but how about fat wizards or clerics? We need more of them!)
Thankyou. Yeah, I like drawing paunchy characters, probably picked that up from Sam Keith.
Keep at the awesomeness.
Lycanthrope, Werefox
Diggin' the Werebear! And the Werefox is very evocative for some reason, I can almost see that as a PC or "good" NPC, it just seems kinda ominously serene. You can tell all your weaknesses have been determined and ranked in order of effectiveness.
Um... speaking of which, remember that under-appreciated Werekoala... :)
(seriously, I'd pay for a nice sketch of a D&D-esque Werekoala for my own personal use)
Is there a werekoala in the MM? Ill have to check that out when I get home. If not, send me a PM and Ill see what I can do for you.

Oh, no, there's no such monster in D&D "officially". I earned the nickname from my gaming group back in late High School days - they said that by the light of a full moon I turned fuzzy and fell asleep; hence, Werekoala.
Of course, in the intervening years I've learned what viscous little bastards they are, which is also fitting.
The problem with a Were-Koala is that nature has evolved the Koala to the pinnacle of cuteness.
As a bonus, here's a WIP pic of my Beholder for the final 10:

Are you some sort of a mind reader? Because I literally just designed a man - woman (androgynous) scorpion demon as main villain of my current dungeon :D.

Would be my luck that I develope the mutant power to psychically draw the minds of gamers.
Weirdly I bet that the MSH Ultimate Powers handbook has that power.

Hey Tristram, seeing as we're at that point in the alphabet, can I make a tiny request?
I'd like your mimic, when that time comes, to be disguised as anything but a treasure chest. Literally any other suitable object is fine, but I'm tired of mimics always being treasure chests in illustrations.

Ah yea, I actually was thinking the same thing . This creature can be disguised as anything but always chooses a treasure chest? I can see the appeal, as an artist, its a good structure for a hidden mouth, but Ill see if I can take it in an unexpected direction.
The question is, what inanimate object would induce people to constantly want to pick it up/open it/get close enough to be taken off guard?

Well, if they're in a dungeon, anything that looks like it might be or contain something valuable? An urn or sarcophagus or barrel, a statue, there's lots of options. The Castles and Crusades monster book had a carpet mimic in its illustration, IIRC.
I went with a rather ambitious Mimic. He just hangs out against walls looking like a door

I think the fact that they're generally decent guys helps. At least they were in 3.5, I don't remember what the 2e fluff was.

In 2e they are presented as often oppressed slaves with a life expectancy of 15-20 years. The main enemy of the free ones are "tribes of wandering humanoids that hunt them for sport." Kinda sad; I could see a good-natured PC group inspired to save/free them. Remind me a bit of less cute Gully Dwarves.

The Mudman's really cool looking. For some reason I'm getting a roguelike vibe (for a D&D monster that's positive, right?).

I was thinking of Clayface from Batman when I did him, so "Rogue's Gallery" fits in a way :)
Just realized I skipped The Muckdweller so Ill have to get that one in next.

Yes, though honestly, I always start with the eyes, and often to scale the rest of the creature onto the page, sometimes chubby/stocky is dictated.
Havent done any fat elves yet, though. Maybe we need some of those :)
Naga
So, Ill be working on an at project this week, so taking a short break from posting these (might not be on the rpgsite at all for a few days).
But we're past the halfway mark. Wonder what Ill do when Im finished? Maybe go on to other Monster Manuals. Thought of doing the Planescape MMs, but then thought about comparing all my attempts to Di'Terlizzi, and not sure I want to invite any comparisons.
I like the naga. Reminds me of a kite I once saw in a book from the 1890s.
You could do devils and demons, I'm a sucker for new takes on them.
These are great! How are you scanning them? You ought to shrink them down and use them as paper miniatures.

Here's the poster I did for a friend this month, all scanned in and super-sized:

I totally agree. THAT is an illustration one should see as they open the cover to a monster manual.
In fact, forget OSR. That should in the D&D Next Monster Manual :D
Can totally see that last one in an OSRIC manual.
Great stuff!!
Gotta go back to the beginning and see where else your stuff is, it's wonderful.

I just realized there's Venger (from the D&D cartoon) and the pumpkin headed bugbear from the OD&D booklets in there.
Nice!

Quote from: hagbard;732284I printed this out and taped it to the front of my DM screen. So badass.
I agree. The little block in the right bottom corner is worth it on its own. Though I didn't print it out.
Though I think those two are doomed.
The OD&D Bugbear was one of the first thing I noticed. Love that halloweeny bastard.
If I'm not mistaken, there's references to movies in there too. It looks like there's one of the demons from Phantom Tollbooth, and one of the creatures from The Dark Crystal. And the style of the dragon reminds me of some cartoon movie but I can't quite place it.
I think. But maybe I'm looking too much into it.

I think. But maybe I'm looking too much into it.
The "Dark Crystal" creature would probably be my Skeksi-influenced Hook Horror, as per the sketch I did earlier in the thread. No Phantom Tolbooth reference, but there's quite a few things in there, including a few Warhammer Fantasy 1st ed creatures (Zoat, Fimir, Skaven)
Is this thread limited to creature/character sketches? I have a collection of weapon illustrations I did that are relevant to D&D but are just isolated illustration. Thanks.
And now, unstickied. But please, doodle on.

Your Nightmare, Manticore and Myconid are really awesome. I felt a Warhammer vibe to your art and then I read your NIMH section on your site. I also remember first seeing THAT Warhammer book and being stunned by its awesomeness.

Thanks. Warhammer was a huge influence on me growing up, so I'm not surprised if some influence bled into my art. At the very least, it's coloured my imagination heavily. Working on some new NIMH posts tonight actually. It will eventually be my plog, as I recently spent the last few months acquiring every Skaven model from the original release in '86, along with some ones I liked from 89, and my goal this year is to get an Oldhammer army painted up.
Some awesome art there.
Have had no time in a while for art of my own, working on several projects for clients, but managed to get in this sketch of an orc this morning

That Rust monster though.. Now i'm imagining a swarm of newly-hatched rust monster nymphs, scuttling towards you. They might be tiny, but they'll pounce on you en masse and when they have feasted through the thin metal skin you thought would protect you, they find out that you have delicious, delicious iron in your blood as well...
I've never use a rust monster. I always thought they were something that created a very specific type of fear for D&D players as they would eat away their precious gear accumulated, maybe even a way to deal with magic items the DM had second thoughts about letting the player have. I'm not entirely happy with my interpretation. Though they have been presented as more bug-like from 2nd edition on, the original illustration made them look more like a weird cross between a dinosaur and armadillo.
The Roper is one of my favourites. He could very easily stand in for a Beast of Nurgle in a Warhammer game.

If you google "bearman"you can see the inspiration for that pic, but I must highly warn you to have Safesearch on before doing so: apparently that term means something in the gay community I hadn't anticipated

I find that endearingly innocent.

I found a plastic rust monster last week at a thrift store. One of the type that originally inspired Gygax. I am quite pleased. I've always considered the rust monster a sort of meta-monster. One aimed at the fears of the player as well of those of the character.
