The newest Dungeons & Dragons supplement, Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun, was recently released, and I can finally share my work on this book... sort of. I was lucky enough to have produced three pieces for the book. But, due to events outside my control, sections of the book were removed during production, and with the sections so went two of my pieces. That means that I can only share one piece with you today. Hopefully, in the future, those pieces will find a home and I will be able to share them. Of my pieces, the Phaerimm was the lucky one to make the book. While it was not an entirely new monster for me, I was aware of its existence, but I had never worked with or played with one before. So that was a treat for sure. Before sharing the final paintings for the Phaerimm, let's have a look at the book you can find it in.
For those unfamiliar with the Phaerimm, it is an abomination that looks like a flying sunflower cornucopia with arms and a needle-toothed maw at its center. You know, the type of thing one would find in the Forgotten Realms. Here is my final painting for the Phaerimm, as well as the preliminary drawing.
Lastly, here is the monster in the book for all to see. An interesting side note, backgrounds are now included with the monsters I have been creating lately. So there is more context to the monster, and it isn't simply sitting in a white void on the page. This meant that I needed to supply the creature, separated from the background. Make of it what you will, it was a new aspect to the process that I will elaborate on when I share the entire production process.
That is all for another exciting Monday on the blog. See you back here on Wednesday! Until then...
