Dungeon Art: Mountain Hag

Here's an illustration for the Mountain Hag soon to appear in a revised Monster book for Swords & Wizardry.

Sequentially D&D 1982

I dug these up the other day - one of my first attempts at doing some comic pages back in 1982 (freshman in high-school if I recall). Being, at the time, an 'aspiring' comic illustrator and avid role-player, I thought I'd blend my two passions together and came up with my Dungeons & Dragons comic pages (without a doubt inspired by TSR's comic book ads of the same era). I drew these two pages and began a third which was never finished it. I remember that in Dwarf falls down a pit and is separated from the party.



I find it fun that I used the Caves of Chaos as the setting with the typical fighter, dwarf, magic-user party. I actually copied these and handed them out to friends in my class who seemed to actually like it. It was at a time when the Moldvay basic set was just coming out and many kids (many of whom wouldn't normally even think about something like a FRPG) were curious about the game that is causing all the rage.

I'm happy to say that over the years my illustration skills have improved (at least I hope they have!).

This is a cover illustration that will be used for an adventure called Ruins of the White Watch written Ronald Redmond and soon to be available on Dragonsfoot as a free download.

I did the illustration while my wife Christy did the watercolor. We've been trying out some new techniques to add color to my illustrations. I'm still working out the kinks but I think this is a step in a good direction (I think the line-work came out a bit heavy).

I hope to do some more collaborations with my wife on these projects.

Here's an drawing I'm pretty proud of. It's for a module cover (yet to be released). Lost city, jungle ruins, a pulp favorite which I was trying to capture. I have a couple more of this series which I'll post soon.

In Search Of The Lost City

This was a cover image I did for a retro D&D game based on the Holmes rules. The adventure is a sequel to Zenopus tower in the back of the blue rule book ('79). Mostly a Copic brush pen on this.
