Dungeons & Delvers: Appendix D, Art Update the Third
Another art update for Appendix D, though to be honest we'll use it in other stuff (like that Dungeon World monster manual someone wanted us to do) and also put it on DriveThru down the road as inexpensive stock art (for use in commercial stuff, of course).
First up, ankheg. Nothing too fancy, though I think I have a way to spin it and make it more interesting (also an adventure idea).
I've talked about argons before. I tweaked the original illustration, because I thought it would be cool to have magic circles on their eyes. Also needed more solid black as we are wont to do.
Byakhee for the Lovecraftian horror section (along with argons, thulids, and other stuff). Not sure I'm entirely happy with it, but I think it looks weird enough.
The original description of the bulette mentions a mix of armadillo and snapping turtle, so I decided to go that route instead of making it look more or less like a shark with legs.
This cthon originally made his debut in A Sundered World: Player Fragments. Originally supposed to have been an invoker, but I liked his design and there's no invoker class in Dungeons & Delvers. Yet, anyway.
An ishim corrupted by the sin of gluttony. She just ate and ate until her stomach exploded. She keeps at it, though. Also nearly done with a wrathful ishim: she uses her halo as a kind of chakram.
I drew the original myconid trio for last year's Inktober, though Melissa didn't get around to coloring them until this month (the other two are on this post).
Corpse crawler. Like the bulette I tried to make it closer to the description of the creature it was based off of.
Gnoll warrior. Working background for these guys is that they were humans transformed due to worshiping a hyena demon lord, or they kept eating dead people and were transformed, or maybe a mix of both.
Lemme know what you think. Not every monster in Appendix D will get art: we're just trying to fill in the blank spaces and pages.
Announcements
You can now get a physical copy of Dungeons & Delvers: Black Book in whatever format you want!After months of doing other things, we turned our attention to and released The Warden. It's based on the 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons class of the same name, but judging by the responses we did an excellent job converting it over.
Dwarven Vault is our sixth 10+ Treasures volume. If you're interested in thirty dwarven magic items (including an eye that lets you shoot lasers) and nearly a dozen new bits of dungeon gear, check it out!
Just released our second adventure for A Sundered World, The Golden Spiral. If a snail-themed dungeon crawl is your oddly-specific thing, check it out!
By fan demand, we've mashed all of our 10+ Treasure volumes into one big magic item book, making it cheaper and more convenient to buy in print (which you can now do).
