Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Dungeons of Golarion

I found an unexpected surprise in the mail on Monday afternoon, my copies of the Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Dungeons of Golarion! Fresh on the heals of Undead Revisited I was working on more undead Paizo Publishing, this time around horrific ghouls in an abandoned Dwarven mine! I also got another chance to put one of the Pathfinder Icons into a dangerous predicament...

You might remember the last time I had the Pathfinder iconic dwarf Hursk in one of my pieces he was doing battle with a Tojanida. It seems he just can't get a break with me... but he did survive the Tojanida. I am much happier with how Hursk turned out this time around! I also was able to paint a whole lot of ghouls and that is pretty great too! Then there is the case of the black fire... what does it look like? does it emit light? is it just freaky magic?

When I first read a art assignments and there is a mention of a group or even just more then one, for some reason my mind immediately jumps to a number between 20 and 50 for the number I should have. So when I read this assignment and it said that Hursk was surrounded by ghouls the first thing that pooped into my mind is that he is surrounded by 30 ghouls. Not really sure what that is about, but I need to stop freaking myself out unnecessarily in this fashion. ..."How am I going to paint 30 ghouls?!?!" Yeah, need to stop doing that... three is just fine.

As always, I would like to extend a huge thanks to Sarah Robinson for giving me the opportunity to work on this fun assignment!

That is all for today, see you back here on Friday for a look at a special item I will have available at Gen Con! Until then...

Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Misfit Monsters Redeemed

Finally, some new work to share here on the blog! Always difficult to be patient for my comp copies to show up in the mail to confirm that everything made it into the final publication. But at long last I am happy to share my contribution to the recently released Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Misfit Monsters Redeemed. I think the name says it all, MONSTERS! So let's look at the monsters...

Tojanida Fight! (Give in Hursk, I hear death by Tojanida is suppose to be calm and peaceful...)

For this project I was assigned to redesign the Tojanida. The Tojanida has always been this crazy mixed up thing but I was able to get in there and give it some of my monster love. They wanted something along the lines of a crab with a snapping turtle beak with some flippers thrown in and I was happy to oblige. It just so happened that I had a ton of crab reference laying around from a piece I had recently finished for myself so I had a lot to draw from as I worked on these.

Needless to say I had a ton of fun working on the Tojanida redesign and these pieces. It is hard to go wrong when you get to add your own voice to a project this way. As always a big thanks to Sarah Robinson for getting me involved on this projects!

The Thanksgiving Holiday is this week and I am going to be busy with travel and family. I don't see me being able to make any blog posts until next Monday, after the holiday. See you back here in a week! Until then...
