Their visualizations of the monsters were slightly crude, but so iconic... Here's link to more cool images: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/300404237617190978/ Sutherland's stuff was a little crude but not Tramp. He was a master.

I was going to mention this one as a "later" piece of work that I have nostalgia for. Mainly the interior illo of the vampiress. Really fun outdoor/indoor module to play.

Jeffro. Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Yeah, S4 is a favorite of mine. I also visit a D&D forum called Dragonsfoot and one guy took the cavern maps from S4, digitally cut it up in order to create more space between the various encounter areas. he did it as a way to flesh it out more. very cool idea Edited May 12, 2017 by Jeffro.

cstojano Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Its amazing to me how little market there is for the older gaming minis. The art on these is great. I started buying sealed sets earlier in the year and you can get some beautiful pieces for next to nothing. I love the Dungeon Dwellers artwork. Heritage and Ral Partha really hit the nostalgia sweet spot for me. SuperBird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgillock Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I have managed to pick up a few "classic-era" (IMO) RPG pieces over the past few years: Judge's Guild tournament module Operation Ogre cover by Kevin Siembieda, founder of Palladium Books. Jeff Dee Space Opera RPG Space Mountain Man Illustration I met Jeff Dee and David LaForce (Diesel) at a show some years ago and talked to them about the absence of classic TSR art on the market. They both confirmed the often told tale that the vast majority of the art was trashed when the company restructured (1983?) and the remaining art was trashed when Wizards of the Coast took over. I have also heard stories about pieces being recovered from dumpsters by artists. Always on the lookout for this material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flambit Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Man, what a great thread! Loved Willingham, was first introduced to him though D&D and watched his ascent in comics - so jealous to see that someone who is such a talented artist is also such a talented writer! Speaking of Willingham D&D, maybe you fine folk can help me identify a nostalgic D&D image from my youth I have been trying to track down - it's from the title page of a module, and it's a group shot of some Drow/Dark Elves. Definitely Willingham because I vividly recall his unique signature and style. But there's a treasure chest in the corner, and it happens to be filled with Marvel easter eggs: I think there's Captain America's sheild, Thor's hammer and Iron Man's helmet! I thought it might be from Queen of the Demon Web, but I don't think so... Edited July 15, 2017 by Flambit sentence didn't make sence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on the cover, but on the 1st page of the interior. I am scanning it now, I'll post in a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being about 12 and my friends were all freaking out about the company "crossover" there at the bottom! I had started searching again for this image a few months ago and never even came close. Thanks again!! Wonderful to see! (If anyone owns this art and wants to sell, drop me a line. It's worth a try, right?) Edit: it's funny, the more I look at this picture, I forgot how much I loved this image as a kid. It so informed a lot of my taste in art and stylistic choices! I had no idea how much influence Willingham actually had over me! Love this piece! Many thanks again, sir! Edited July 15, 2017 by Flambit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
