After A Bit Of A Hiatus, I've Brought My Blog Back To Life. This Week's Post Is All About The Scroll

I've always liked the illustration of a Bugbear from the 1E AD&D Monster Manual (drawn by David Sutherland). It made them seem slightly unhinged. My Bugbear sketches are trying to tap into the same vibe.

Some aerial vehicles for the Star Frontiers rpg, created as spot illos for the Frontier Explorer zine.

Messing around with a dragon of less conventional design.

Various robot designs for the Star Frontiers rpg setting.

A Xorn snacks on some tasty treasure, despite the pesky dwarves. Spot illustration commissioned for Old School Essentials.

Do pictures illustrate rollplaying or is rollplaying inspired by pictures?

I've created illustrations for various rpgs over the years, most notably Old School Essentials.

Spot illo for the Casting The Runes rpg, which is inspired by the writing of M. R. James. The artwork was an attempt to mimic the style of illustrations from Edwardian period.

Pencil drawings I made in 1986 or '87 as handouts for 'The Mauretania', an adventure for the Call of Cthulhu rpg (second edition - published in 'The Asylum & Other Tales'). I modified the adventure quite a bit, as published adventures usually need a bit of bodging. These were essentially images I handed to players when they experienced certain events within the adventure. I also used the same approach when running homebrew adventures.
