Process Video: 1986

This process video showing the creation of the cartoon homage to "Queen of the Spiders" is an exclusive benefit for paid subscribers.

During Episode 14’s conversation with David “Zeb” Cook, I began creating a cartoon homage to Keith Parkinson’s cover painting for Queen of the Spiders—an image that simultaneously captures the fantastical nature of early D&D and 1980s high fashion (dig those boots … and how do the drow get that “big hair” look?!?).

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.)
