WiP Wednesday—2024 Monster Manual
Join Stan! in his studio as he works on his homage to the cover of the latest edition of the Monster Manual
This week Stan! will be working on the final cartoon homage in his series celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons. Interestingly, because of including “year zero” in the count AND the fact that the effort carried over into “year fifty-one,” it turns out there are fifty-two drawings in the series. But no adventurer ever complained about more experience or a bigger pile of treasure!
Work started on the image—a tip of the creative hat to Tyler Jacobson’s cover painting for the 2024 edition of the Monster Manual—during Episode 56 of the show. It marks the fourth time that the beholder known as the Xanathar has appeared in one of Stan!’s homages, and the first time for the ranger Minsc and his miniature giant space hamster Boo.
As always, Stan! will do a running Ask Me Anything session as he draws … so tune in to the live chat room, if you can. And if you can’t be there, leave any questions you have as comments on this message.
Join us at the usual time—6pm Pacific on Wednesday, July 9th. Should be good fun! And if you can’t be there live, you can still catch the episode on replay anytime you like.
