A Second Look at Older Work - Mimic and Reward

This coming June will mark twenty years for me in the gaming industry, and this is also my twenty-sixth year as a working artist. I have made a lot of work over these years, and as I focus on larger projects with multi-year timelines, it is hard to keep this blog updated regularly. I have kept this thing going since 2009, and I would like for it to continue. To that end, I thought I would look back at works I particularly liked, enjoyed making, or seemed to fall through the cracks and went unnoticed.

Today, I have ANOTHER piece for Pathfinder done for Paizo sixteen or so years ago. There are only a few, but there are some classic D&D monsters that I have never illustrated for Dungeons & Dragons. And of those few, there are even fewer that I HAVE illustrated for other companies. One in particular is the Mimic. For some reason, I have never had to illustrate a Mimic for a D&D product, but sixteen years ago, I painted a Mimic for the new (at the time) Pathfinder GameMastery Guide. It was on a section about risk and reward... or shall we say Mimic and Reward.

As a side note, the ghosts are still in the machine, and after all these years, the Patherfinder blog post that spoiled this piece is still live. On top of that, there are actually a few posts still over there in the warner of links with more of my work from around that time. I will likely be sharing some of that other work at some point soon.

That's all for another exciting Monday on the blog. See you back here Wednesday! Until then...
