I started this homage to the cover of 1994’s Book of Lairs (one of at least four AD&D products with some version of that title) while I was talking with former RPGA Network Coordinator, Scott Douglas. You can listen to the whole of Episode 22 or any of the past episodes.

I always have a particularly fun time drawing my interpretations of paintings by Larry Elmore. There’s something about his characters and scene design that just seems to play well with my cartooning style.

Subscribers to this newsletter got to see this drawing early, 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.)
