Hey all,

Here are some of my recent illustrations. Please feel free to post a comment or request.

I'd also like to say thanks to all the DMs and players that inspired many of these pieces. Please keep playing!

- David

Beautiful stuff

I went and had a look at your website, David. Awesome work! You have an exquisite painterly style. Very nice, very nice indeed.

Very nice. I have to agree with Eric on the painterly style. It's amazing that they are all digital with the exception of the hotel but they all have the look of an oil.

Would you care to give us a little insight as to your technique? Perhaps a bit of a bio too.

Thanks for sharing your work!

Darraketh & Eric: Thanks for the comments.

A little bio: I guess I'm currently an aspiring illustrator. I used to be an internet designer and before that I worked on a couple of unpublished video games. I'm from California and I have an architecture degree from UC Berkeley.

A little technique: I usually start with a pencil sketch on copy paper. Then I bring it into Photoshop or Painter and work on the composition and silhouette. Next I usually do a monochromatic under-painting. Then I just paint.

Seriously, I'm no expert, but I'd be more than happy to do a more formal step-by-step if anyone is interested.

Enough about me; here's my take on Valendo from Piratecat's story hour.

Another piece inspired by Piratecat's campaign: the necropede.

Brand new stuff coming soon (sorry if you've already seen these last few).

Here's the latest. Saint Aleax: also from Piratecat's campaign.

This art is superb! Wonderful style to it.
This is exactly how DnD art should be.

Although I've always imagined Velendo as slightly different to that (being my favourite character and all - I'll never get over that use of the Miracle in one of the latest sessions).

Spider.
