Process Video: 1985

As an exclusive benefit for paid subscribers, we have uploaded a process video showing the creation of the cartoon homage to "Unearthed Arcana."

The cartoon homage from Episode 13 was to Jeff Easley’s cover painting for Unearthed Arcana. We’ll never know exactly what it was that the old wizard saw inside that ancient tome … but the possibilities haunt our dreams for the rest of our lives. “It was only when I was halfway done with my interpretation that I realized how much the briefcase in Pulp Fiction owes to this image,” said Stan! “I wonder if Quentin Tarantino ever owned a copy of Unearthed Arcana?”

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.)
