"Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet south. Passage turns east and west. Which way do you go?" "We go South." Stupefied look and momentary pause. "Okay. Bump, bump, bump." -E. Gary Gygax to adventurers in Greyhawk Castle, circa 1972 You have now entered the realm of the LORD OF THE GREEN DRAGONS -- a "Classic Gaming" blog.

They're both great, but I particularly like the folks crossing the lava/water on the blocks!
Allan.
Yeah, the shadows are real cool.
I love That barbed Devil. ATOM has become one of my favorite artists in the industry in a very short time. I love his / her mix of creepy and cartoony. In my mind my last campaign was illustrated by ATOM (and used a few pieces from his gallery as visual aids for my player.) I'm hoping to find an Art of ATOM calendar some day.
Thanks guys, much appreciated.
I almost cross hatched myself into oblivion on that first illo, I love that hatching/shading efffect, but it takes ages to render. No wonder artists greyscale these days.I have gone back to traditional shading methods lately, I do love my inking.
:)
Wow - excellent work! I really like that you worked the lanterns into the first illustration. They're usually forgotten in Fantasy illustrations. :)
Both illustrations are great. The first one sets a mood that makes me want to dungeon delve right now! Fantastic old-school flavor.
Thanks again guys! So its a definate thumbs up for old style crosshatch shading. I have been studying this medium much of late. It definately gives the artist much scope for texturing, shading and portraying depth in an illustration.You can really get away with going really dark too, because of the textures.
I'm presently creating three more.
:)
