I may sound like a broken record, but I sure love being assigned projects that let me design something new or update existing D&D monsters. Not that there is anything wrong with the established designs, I just really enjoy adding my voice to the mighty fantasy empire that is D&D. I tried to be true to the various established looks and feels of the Mephits as well as bring some of my own design sensibilities into it. I am not sure if I have ever painted as many translucent and transparent monsters as this assignment required! As always, I would like to thank Kate Irwin for involving me on this project and for her art direction!
In the coming weeks I will have for you my concepts, sketches, and a few process step by step breakdowns for these pieces.
That is all for another exciting Monday on the blog, see you back here on Wednesday! Until then...

My fav is the oozy magma mephit. Good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The Magma and Earth were my hands down favorites.
DeleteI mentioned it on DA but I can say it here as well.
ReplyDeleteReally like the fire one, though they are all drawn well.
Many thanks! I appreciate it! Because there where so many of them my memories of them start to bleed together. I just have these images of working on dusty burning icy steam mephits... :P
