Process Video: 1984

This process video, showing the creation of Stan!'s cartoon homage of the cover for "Dragons of Autumn Twilight," is available exclusively to paid subscribers.

In Episode 12, Jeff Grubb was our guest. He and Stan! had an in depth conversation about the beginnings of the “campaign setting era” of D&D—how Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms got onto the publishing schedule, what a team effort their developments were, the growth of the TSR Book Department, and much more. As the conversation rolled along, Stan! began work on a cartoon homage to the great Larry Elmore’s painting for the cover of Dragons of Autumn Twilight—the first Dragonlance novel.

Subscribers to this newsletter got to see this drawing last week, whereas the general public are only just getting their first glimpses of it today. But there’s still something left that’s JUST for the paid subscribers—a process video showing the step-by-step creation of this cartoon homage. (If you’re currently a free subscriber, now would be a great time to upgrade.)
