Fallcrest Revised

I've revised the original Fallcrest map into a players' version.

Down, Down, Down

Just for fun times, here is Dwarftown in progress. It may take a while to finish this, but you can see where I'm going; namely, underground.

Hey Dwarftown!

The old map was looking slightly flat so I threw in some good ol' 3-point perspective. Not to be confused with Hammerfast though, nuh-uh. This is a map of Dwarftown; a largish, dwarven city which also lies along the Dawnforge Mountains' trade route. Coincidence? Yes.

Hammerfast Rough

I know these colors are getting pretty pukey, but it's a fair representation of what's left in my marker box =(

Have You Seen Me?

A friend of mine had a whole army -- well, perhaps more of a squadron -- of orc minis when we were in second grade. I can't seem to find hide nor hair of them on the internets. Does anyone have a clue where they came from? I say they were orcs (because my friend painted white hand and lidless eye badges on their shields) but they may have officially been 'goblins', 'kobolds', or even miniatures not specifically for D&D. 

     The most memorable detail was their faces weren't pig-shaped but instead were more tiki-like (as I've tried to recall above). They were cool. Any ideas?

Fallcrest Map

Herewith two versions of Fallcrest; one for players, one for dm's.

More Otus Gems

This time, four from The World of Greyhawk Gazetteer and one from The Rogues Gallery.

As I've said elsewhere, Otus' work is so appealing because his characters actually look vulnerable, as if they're seconds away from being skewered or digested (if they're not already). Check out that poor schmuck with an arrow through his visor in the second image!

Of course, his line work -- always first rate -- is on parade in these pieces. The firestorm in particular is a festival of chevrons, crosshatching, and contours... how does he do it?
