Starbucks Duckface



I saw a man at Starbucks today with a resting duckface that was pure perfection. Here is a sketch of him from memory.

Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition Player's Handbook Concepts

One of the best assignments I have worked on lately is a set of loose concepts that helped to flesh out the style guide for the Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition Player's Handbook. I worked with art director Jon Schindehette on the looks for various classes of characters across races and disciplines. I have seen how the new Player's Handbook took the ideas and ran with them for the final illustrations, sometimes using them as reference, while other times going in a new direction. It's really fun to see how the book turned out! I have a special place in my heart for D&D since my friend Forest Stearns gave me a spare 2nd Edition Player's handbook back in the mid 1990s. I pored over the illustrations and wondered what it took to get a job where I could draw dragons and wizards, so this is some what of a dream come true.

They even made little table top figures based on some of these guys!

I also worked on the upcoming Tyranny of Dragons adventures and I have some illustrations in the new Monster Manual as well. I will post some images from those as they are released.

Cheers!

Fairy



Nothing particularly original here. Just playing around with something lyrical after work because my wife asked me to make her a drawing. I hope she likes it!

Above and Below



Here is a quick one I did today while playing with some brushes. It's Friday, so I suppose I'm thinking of travel and the weekend.
