Dungeons & Dragons - Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse - Part 1

The newest Dungeons & Dragons supplement, Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse, will be released next week, and I was lucky enough to have contributed four pieces to the book. Usually, I would have to wait till the book was out to share my work, but the good folks on the Dungeons & Dragons social media team have been sharing some of my monsters early. While they have not all been spoiled, I have plenty that I can share with you leading up to the book's official release. I got to design/redesign three of the four pieces, which is always fun. The fourth is a classic monster that didn't need to be revisited and only needed a new illustration. 

Starting things off, I have for you the Star Spawn Seer. While the Star Spawn have been around for a while, I was asked to flesh this incarnation out. I had to look no further than myself to find all the inspiration needed. I have loads of embarrassing photos of me in a robe that I will never share that led to this piece taking shape. Here is a look at the final painting for the Star Spawn Seer.

As with all my D&D pieces, even though the final is digital, there is an original drawing available. This one is no exception, and I was pleased with how the drawing, actually all the drawing from this book, turned out. Here is the drawing for Star Spawn Seer.

Lastly, here is a look at the social media images that featured the Star Spawn Seer. It is fun to see my art being used for promotional uses again. It has been a while. As always, never read the comments!

That is all of another exciting Friday on the blog. See you back here next week! Until then...
