Description I rarely get to work on groups. It was good to work on this one and felt like a nice experience 'tho that armor wasn't the easiest piece to work on
So here, the three heroes of a D&D adventure, with your warrior, rogue and ranger. And no, the halfling is not the rogue

Yes, a mage or a cleric. But it wasn't my group to decide who's in it.

Reminds me of illustrations of the old school, when there was more fantasy than World of Warcraft.
Congratulations! ^^

Thank you for the kind words. I consider them one of the highest praised I ever received it because when it comes to fantasy, old school is way better.

This is fantastic. Love the look "yep, we're badass we don't need you to tell us that" on their faces.

MatesLaurentiu In reply to HBKnight [2012-06-26 23:54:49 +0000 UTC]

Yup, that was the idea. And each character does it in his own way.

Awesome painting dude! Question: A golden dragon skull? Is that from a published adventure because damn it's so familiar?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MatesLaurentiu In reply to JosephCrocono [2010-11-13 02:57:14 +0000 UTC]

Its not a golden skull, the description of the commission was more in terms of "remains of a dracolich". I do think its from a published adventure, the Drunken Dragon Inn has been mentioned before so must be a "real" place in a Wotc world somewhere.

Dude! I have a Drunken Dragon in my campaign!

Might be the same campaign. Be aware if your DM mentions a Dracolich Glizmar somewhere

Gatah In reply to MatesLaurentiu [2010-11-12 15:58:59 +0000 UTC]

I'm pretty sure it's not. I made up my campaign.

I guess the name's sort of irresistible.

MatesLaurentiu In reply to Gatah [2010-11-13 02:58:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, you can't but imagine the huge armies of ale that bravely threw them self at the dragon to put him down.

Is that the phylactery of Azalin the Lich at their feet - I have drawn a very similar picture with the golden hued skull which is the closing scene from a Ravenloft module From the Shadows.

MatesLaurentiu In reply to DavidWFisher [2010-11-12 13:37:42 +0000 UTC]

I don't know the name of the campaign these characters played but the name of the Dracolich is Glizmar apparently, so might be just an artistic coincidence. Or maybe my clients are friends of yours, they like the pose and asked it of me - now that would be really hilarious.

Malcolmd [2010-09-22 01:40:37 +0000 UTC]

There are many things about this image to admire, but I think that my favorite element is the center figure's armor. Very well done, sir!

I know that D&D specifically allows small characters and indirect combatants to contribute as much to victory as meat-shield-types, but something about the diminutive fellow on the right makes me wonder just what he did to help bring down that dragon. XD

MatesLaurentiu In reply to Malcolmd [2010-09-22 01:46:57 +0000 UTC]

To be honest I don't know what to tell you. The description presented him as a druid 'tho the client really pressed upon the presence of the shield and of its colors. As a druid, his presence is not really required into a melee but we must also consider that he might be a high level character with an animal form (or more).

Malcolmd In reply to MatesLaurentiu [2010-09-22 02:05:14 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I can understand how that would be. He looks like an easygoing, passive fellow, but he may wear a completely different face into combat.

I guess its that time of image indeed. Makes old player sigh and remember the old 2th edition rules and all that

Glad to see you return and happy to know you like it The halfling is indeed the cool guy in this picture, with his relaxed attitude and his beer mug.

This is fantastic! I love all the little details and how different each character looks. The halfling is particularly adorable.

Thank you guys, I'm glad you like it. Sometimes I wish I get to work on more epic scenes, like battles and action scenes but hey, as long as the clients are happy... I only hope someday I'll be rich enough to afford to spend all my time working on my own stuff. I have some pretty cool scenes in mind
